According to a report by www.aktienwelt360.de,

Realty Income (WKN: 899744) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) and has been able to pay dividends to its shareholders every month for over 50 years. The current dividend yield is 5.3% (as of January 7, 2024). The company owns over 13,250 commercial properties in the United States and Europe and leases them to over 1,300 different tenants. The diversification of the tenant base ranges from small supermarkets, pharmacies and logistics companies to fitness studios, cinemas and hardware stores. 98.8% of the properties are rented, providing Realty Income with a constant stream of rental income, a portion of which is distributed to shareholders as dividends.

The continuous increase in dividends for 29 years is the result of long-term operational growth. Both the operating result and the dividend increased in 2020, despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Realty Income's expansion into the European market and acquisitions of other companies indicate further growth. Despite the increased interest rates, the company is solidly positioned to invest in further growth opportunities.

Based on the report and considering its current market cap of $41.9 billion, I see Realty Income as well-positioned to continue its strong growth story. With an expected total return of around 10% per year, including the dividend yield of 5.3%, Realty Income stock also looks attractive based on valuation and could be a solid investment.
