Is Realty Income Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Realty Income Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Realty Income Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Realty Income Corporation's P/E ratio

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 stock or simply that they're over-valued.

Realty Income Corporation's PEG ratio

Realty Income Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 5.5163. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Realty Income Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Realty Income Corporation stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 100.52% of net profits

Recently Realty Income Corporation has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% 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 Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Realty Income Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $3.111 per share.

Realty Income Corporation'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 Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 14 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 1 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Realty Income Corporation's stocks ever split?

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Realty Income Corporation stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 3.1% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Realty Income Corporation stocks, which in turn could have impacted Realty Income Corporation's stock price.
