Is it a good time to buy Realty Income stock?
The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. However, this is not a recommendation. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.
Is Realty Income under- or over-valued?
Valuing Realty Income stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Realty Income's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Realty Income's P/E ratio
Realty Income's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 41x. In other words, Realty Income shares trade at around 41x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Realty Income's PEG ratio
Realty Income's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 7.047. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Realty Income's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Realty Income's EBITDA
Realty Income's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$3.4 billion (£2.7 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Realty Income's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
Realty Income share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Realty Income's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$44.5769 up to US$65.8263. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Realty Income's is 0.902. This would suggest that Realty Income's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

Realty Income share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 77.54% of net profits
Recently Realty Income has paid out, on average, around 77.54% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.63% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Realty Income shareholders could enjoy a 5.63% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Realty Income's case, that would currently equate to about $3.035 per share.
Realty Income's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Realty Income's most recent dividend payout was on 15 December 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 November 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
