Investment focus and opportunities in Europe, investment strategy and guidance, strategy for investment in Europe, funding and investment strategy, and increased competition and cap rate trends are the key contradictions discussed in Realty Income's latest 2025Q2 earnings call.
Investment Growth and Sourcing Volume:
-
sourced
$43 billion in investment opportunities during Q2 2025, the highest quarterly volume in the company's history.
- The selectivity ratio was less than
3%, indicating high selectivity in investment decisions.
- The increased sourcing volume reflects the size of the addressable market and the visibility into
transaction opportunities due to the platform's breadth and depth.
European Investment Focus:
- Investment volume in Europe accounted for
$889 million, representing
76% of total investments for the quarter.
- The weighted average initial cash yield for European investments was
7.3%.
- This significant contribution is due to favorable borrowing costs in Europe, with euro borrowing costs
120 basis points inside of U.S. dollar debt costs, and the fragmented competitive landscape.
Credit Loss and Tenant Health:
- The company estimates approximately
75 basis points of potential rent loss for 2025, slightly higher than historical experience.
- The credit watch list stands at
4.6% of annualized base rent, with a median client exposure of just
3 basis points.
- The increased credit loss expectations are attributed to certain tenants acquired through public M&A transactions, such as At Home's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
Capital Markets Activity and Funding:
-
raised
$632 million of equity through the ATM at a weighted average stock price of
$56.39 per share during the quarter.
- The company has
$654 million of unsettled forward equity, providing solid runway for funding investment activities for the remainder of the year.
- This strong capital position is supported by a robust debt capital market and strategic initiatives to diversify capital sources.
