In March 2025, Realty Income announced its 130th dividend increase since it listed on the NYSE in 1994. The annualized dividend amount now stands at $3.222 per share compared to the prior annualized dividend amount of $3.216 per share. Looking to 2025, Realty Income’s net income per share is expected between $1.52-$1.58, AFFO per share is targeted at $4.22-$4.28, while same store rent growth is expected to be approximately 1% on occupancy over 98%. As of December 31, 2024, the REIT had $3.7 billion of liquidity. We like Realty Income but don’t include shares of the REIT in any newsletter portfolio. Shares yield 5.7% at the time of this writing.
