Realty Income increased its monthly dividend payment in September 2026, extending its streak of consecutive quarterly dividend hikes to 116. This trend spans 29 years, dating back to the start of its payment history in 1995.

The S&P 500 component manages a portfolio of approximately 15,500 properties with an occupancy rate near 99%. Its tenant base consists of major retailers, including Home Depot, 7-Eleven, Dollar General, and Tractor Supply.

While the company primarily serves as a landlord for the brick-and-mortar retail sector, it is currently expanding into the data center business to diversify its rent-based revenue streams.
