"What's more, Realty Income had an occupancy rate of 97% at the end of 2008. The occupancy rate is almost always above 98%, and it is currently at 98.7% as of Q3 2025. Finally, but importantly, you get a forward dividend yield of 5.74%. Forward funds from operations of $4.27 per share comfortably cover the forward dividend rate of $3.23. Realty Income is a Dividend Aristocrat with 665 consecutive monthly dividends."
