What Realty Income does

Net-lease REIT that owns single-tenant retail, industrial and other properties on long-term leases, paying monthly dividends.

Collects rent under long single-tenant leases in which the tenant pays property tax, insurance and upkeep, so income is predictable and it needs few staff. It grows by buying properties, funded by raising equity and debt, and merged with VEREIT in 2021 and Spirit Realty in 2024. Dividends are paid monthly.

  • Real estate
  • Net-lease REIT
  • Single-tenant retail/industrial leasing

What could go right

  • Reliable, growing dividend attracting income investors
  • Sale-leaseback deal flow from retailers needing capital

What could go wrong

  • Tenant bankruptcy/vacancy risk
  • Interest-rate sensitivity of REIT valuations

Moat: narrow (scale, distribution). Scale and low cost of capital let it win larger sale-leaseback deals than smaller net-lease competitors.
