Realty Income (O) Presents Compelling Case for Dividend Investors
Realty Income (O 0.83%) stands out as a premier dividend-paying REIT, boasting a 5.4% yield with monthly distributions—a rarity in the quarterly-dominated landscape. The company has delivered 663 consecutive dividends and 132 increases since its 1994 IPO, making it a bedrock for income-focused portfolios.
Beyond yield, the stock appears undervalued despite its consistent performance. A $10,000 investment could generate $540 annually, with growth potential from periodic dividend hikes. For retirees, the monthly payouts mimic paycheck reliability while offering inflation-beating income growth.
