REALTY INCOME CORP represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns REALTY INCOME CORP a Hold rating, with a composite score of 54.7/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1299 of 7,333 stocks, O presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
With a quality score of 48/100, O shows adequate but unremarkable business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 2.6% (sector avg: 9.0%), gross margins of 100.0% (sector avg: 77.7%), net margins of 18.6% (sector avg: 21.9%). This suggests the company generates acceptable returns but may lack the competitive positioning or operational efficiency to stand out from peers.
With a value score of 46/100, O appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 58.43x, an EV/EBITDA of 65.74x, a P/B ratio of 1.55x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
With an investment score of 40/100, O exhibits moderate growth-oriented spending. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 9.8% vs. a sector average of 10.7% and a return on assets of 1.5% (sector: 1.3%). The company appears to be balancing growth investments with capital returns, though the pace of investment may not be enough to accelerate top-line growth meaningfully.
O demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 64/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 9.8% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.19 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
REALTY INCOME CORP earns an excellent stability score of 88/100, reflecting low price volatility and a conservatively managed balance sheet. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.19 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 82.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). Stocks with this level of stability tend to act as portfolio anchors, providing downside protection during market corrections while still participating in broad market advances.
REALTY INCOME CORP's short interest score of 27/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 82.00x). At $54.3B (large-cap), O carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
REALTY INCOME CORP offers an attractive dividend yield of 5.4%, placing it among the higher-yielding stocks in its peer group. This compares to a sector average dividend yield of 2.0%. A yield this high can provide meaningful income, but investors should verify the payout is sustainable by examining the payout ratio, free cash flow coverage, and any history of dividend cuts.
REALTY INCOME CORP is a large-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1299 of 7,333 overall (82nd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 2.6% trailing the 9.0% sector median and operating margins of 16.5% below the 18.1% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While O currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the FINANCE, INSURANCE, AND REAL ESTATE sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.

The article identifies Realty Income (O) and Constellation Brands (STZ) as undervalued investment opportunities. Realty Income, a REIT specializing in single-tenant properties, trades at a low price-to-FFO ratio of 16 with a 4.9% dividend yield, benefiting from recent Federal Reserve rate cuts. Constellation Brands faces headwinds from declining alcohol consumption and tariffs on Mexican beers, but its low forward P/E ratio of 13 and consistent dividend growth since 2015 suggest recovery potential.
Realty Income Corporation (NYSE:O) announced its 668th consecutive monthly dividend of $0.2700 per share, payable on March 13, 2026. The company, known as 'The Monthly Dividend Company,' maintains its position in the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index with over 31 consecutive years of dividend increases and operates a portfolio of over 15,500 properties across the U.S. and Europe.
The article recommends two high-yield dividend stocks for investors seeking better returns than the S&P 500's average 1.1% yield. Realty Income offers a 4.9% yield with low risk due to its diversified net-lease REIT portfolio and 30 years of annual dividend increases. General Mills provides a 5% yield but faces near-term headwinds with weak financial results and a planned investment year, though it has a strong 127-year dividend history and reasonable 55% payout ratio.
The article highlights four high-yielding dividend stocks suitable for passive income: Clearway Energy (4.7% yield) with expected 7-8% annual cash flow growth, Energy Transfer (7.1% yield) planning 3-5% annual payout increases, Realty Income (4.9% yield) with 113 consecutive quarterly dividend increases, and Verizon (5.8% yield) with 19 consecutive years of dividend growth. All four companies are backed by stable cash flows and strong financial profiles.
