Realty income stock price remained range-bound at $53

Realty Income stock price remained range-bound at $53.91 this session. REIT analysts suggest stability here could precede a breakout if macroeconomic headwinds lessen. Realty Income mainly rents its properties to recession-resistant retailers. Last year, its top tenants were Walgreens , 7-Eleven , Dollar General , and Dollar Tree , but no single tenant accounted for over 3.5% of its annualized rent. Some of its tenants are struggling with store closures in this challenging market, but its healthier tenants are consistently offsetting that pressure with new store openings. That's why Realty's occupancy rate still rose from 98.6% in 2023 to 98.7% in 2024. It's also kept that rate above 96% since its IPO in 1994 -- even as three major recessions rattled the global economy. That stable growth enabled it to raise its monthly dividends 132 times since its public debut, and it currently pays a forward yield of 5.3% -- which is much higher than the 10-year Treasury's 4.1% yield.
