Realty Income Corporation announced its 662nd consecutive monthly dividend of $0.269 per share, annualizing to $3.228. Payable on September 15, 2025, the dividend underscores the company’s commitment to its “Monthly Dividend Company” branding. As of June 30, 2025, the firm oversees a diversified portfolio of over 15,600 properties across all 50 U.S. states, the U.K., and seven European nations. Its uninterrupted dividend growth streak of over 30 years qualifies it for the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index.

The company’s long-term strategy hinges on maintaining stability in its real estate investments and expanding its global footprint. However, risks such as interest rate volatility, inflation, and potential lease defaults remain embedded in its operations. Despite these challenges, Realty Income’s consistent payouts and strategic asset management position it as a key player in the REIT sector.
