Realty Income has been a solid dividend stock for income investors since its inception, generating total returns of over 5,000% in three decades, significantly outpacing the S&P 500.
The REIT offers an attractive dividend yield of 5.4% and pioneered monthly dividend payments, raising its dividend every quarter for over 100 consecutive quarters.
Despite the potential benefits of interest rate cuts and favorable corporate tax reforms, Realty Income's stock has struggled post-election due to the lingering effects of high interest rates.
The Federal Reserve's prolonged high interest rate policies have negatively impacted the REIT industry by increasing borrowing costs and making REIT yields less attractive to investors.
