Is O a good dividend stock?

What the data shows. These are observations, not recommendations — see the disclaimer at the foot of the page.

  • Yield is above the market median5.86% against a median of 2.92% across US dividend payers.
  • Paying out more than it earnsA payout ratio of 2.27 exceeds reported earnings, which is normal for a REIT: large depreciation charges push accounting earnings well below the cash the business actually collects. Analysts judge REIT dividends against funds from operations instead.
  • Dividend has been cut 5 timesAcross 32 complete years, the annual total fell in 2014, 2022, 2024 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2024.
  • Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
