REALTY INCOME CORP

REALTY INCOME CORP

Realty Income Corporation (ticker: O) is a publicly traded net‑lease REIT that primarily owns single‑tenant commercial properties and leases them under long-term, triple‑net agreements. The company is widely known for paying monthly dividends and targets stable, contract‑based cash flow from rent rather than active property development. With a market capitalisation around $54.9 billion, Realty Income emphasises diversified tenant exposure across retail, industrial, healthcare and service sectors, and tends to favour long lease terms that transfer many operating costs to tenants. Key considerations for investors include sensitivity to interest rates and borrowing costs, the credit quality of tenants, and exposure to particular property types or geographic markets. While the business model can offer a steady income stream, dividends are not guaranteed and property values can fluctuate with economic cycles. This information is educational, not personal financial advice — investors should consider their circumstances and consult a qualified adviser before investing.
