Realty Income (O) today: 665th monthly dividend, new 150M‑share ATM filing, and fresh Q3 2025 takeaways (Nov 8, 2025)

8 November 2025

Realty Income Corporation (NYSE: O), “The Monthly Dividend Company,” capped a busy week with two investor‑focused updates now resonating today: the REIT’s 665th consecutive monthly dividend and a new at‑the‑market (ATM) equity program authorizing the sale of up to 150 million shares. The headlines land just days after Q3 results and a modest guidance tweak. ^[1]

Dividend at a glance

Amount:$0.2695 per share (annualized $3.234)
Record date:Nov. 28, 2025
Payment date:Dec. 15, 2025
Streak:665 consecutive monthly dividends

At Friday’s close near $56.9, the declared payout implies a forward yield around the mid‑5% range, underscoring why Realty Income remains a staple for income‑focused investors. ^[2]

Capital move: New 150M‑share ATM program

Realty Income filed an 8‑K on Friday detailing a new sales agreement that allows the company to sell up to 150,000,000 common shares from time to time—directly, via agents, or through forward sale agreements. The filing notes the prior 2024 ATM was terminated concurrently; of its original 120 million shares, 65,033,051 had been sold. Proceeds from the new ATM may fund debt repayment, acquisitions/development, hedging, and other general corporate purposes. ^[3]

Q3 scorecard and guidance: steady operations, active investing

Earlier this week, Realty Income reported Q3 2025 AFFO of $1.08 per share and FFO of $1.07 per share, with revenue at ~$1.47B. The company updated 2025 AFFO guidance to $4.25–$4.27 and lifted its full‑year investment volume outlook to ~$5.5B. Management highlighted a 103.5% rent recapture rate on re‑leased properties, $1.4B invested during the quarter at a 7.7% initial cash yield, and 98.7% portfolio occupancy across 15,542 properties with a weighted average remaining lease term of ~8.9 years. Net debt to annualized pro forma Adjusted EBITDAre stood at 5.4x as of quarter‑end. ^[4]

Reuters summarized the outlook shift as a narrow/tightened 2025 adjusted FFO range of $4.25–$4.27 per share, reflecting resilience even as rate and capital markets stay in focus. ^[5]

Why today’s updates matter

Income continuity: Another monthly dividend—now in its 665th iteration—reinforces Realty Income’s brand promise to income investors. ^[6]
Balance‑sheet flexibility: The new ATM capacity gives management optionality to match equity issuance with accretive investments or de‑leveraging as opportunities and market windows emerge. The use of forward sales can time settlement with pipeline deployment, tempering immediate dilution. ^[7]
Operational health:High occupancy, positive re‑leasing economics (103.5% recapture), and an active acquisition engine—especially in Europe—continue to underpin internal and external growth. ^[8]

Analyst and market context (today)

RBC Capital this week raised its price target to $61 and kept an Outperform rating following the company’s Q3 update. ^[9]
A Yahoo Finance valuation brief published today notes shares around the high‑$56s versus a fair‑value estimate in the low‑$60s, suggesting room for upside if assumptions hold. ^[10]
Coverage today from GuruFocus framed the quarter as in line on earnings with a revenue beat and emphasized the 103.5% rent recapture and ongoing international investment activity. ^[11]

Key numbers to know

Dividend: $0.2695 per share (Dec. 15 payable; Nov. 28 record). ^[12]
ATM program: Up to 150,000,000 shares; prior ATM terminated after 65,033,051 shares sold; proceeds for corporate uses including debt repayment and acquisitions. ^[13]
Q3 metrics:AFFO $1.08, FFO $1.07, Revenue ~$1.47B, Recapture 103.5%, Investment $1.4B @ 7.7%, Occupancy 98.7%, WALT ~8.9 years. ^[14]
2025 guide (updated):AFFO $4.25–$4.27; investment volume ~$5.5B. ^[15]

What to watch next

ATM utilization pace: Management’s cadence in issuing shares—especially via forward sales—versus acquisition timing and debt paydowns. ^[16]
Deal flow and yields: Whether Q3’s 7.7% initial cash yield on investments and elevated European activity continue into Q4. ^[17]
Rent recapture and occupancy: If the >100% recapture trend and ~99% occupancy hold as 2025 winds down. ^[18]

Bottom line

For Nov. 8, 2025, Realty Income’s news flow centers on dividend dependability and funding flexibility. Pairing an ongoing monthly payout with a fresh, large‑scale ATM program positions the REIT to keep investing while managing leverage—an approach consistent with its Q3 operating momentum and slightly refined 2025 guidance. ^[19]

A Fresh Look at Wabtec Valuation After Strong Q3 Results and Insider Stock Sales
November 8, 2025, 7:16 PM EST. Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies reported a solid Q3 that beat expectations, with gains across Freight and Transit segments, plus new international contracts and recent acquisitions underpinning the beat. However, headline insider stock sales by top leaders have kept sentiment cautious. Despite the mix, the stock has yielded a 7.8% gain over the last three months and a 107% total return over three years, suggesting durable momentum. With shares trading below many analyst targets, investors are weighing whether the stock is undervalued or fairly priced given its growth catalysts, including rail infra expansion and decarbonization, and potential aftermarket upside from service revenue. The wall of bullish projections in the latest narrative points to a fair value around $231.50, but North American railcar demand and deal reliance could inject volatility.
