Is Realty Income Corporation under- or over-valued?

Shorting Realty Income Corporation shares

There are currently 22.1 million Realty Income Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Realty Income Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 31.5% up from 16.8 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Realty Income Corporation shares can be evaluated.

Realty Income Corporation's SIR currently stands at 5.89. In other words for every 100,000 Realty Income Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5890 shares are currently held short.

However Realty Income Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Realty Income Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Realty Income Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Realty Income Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Realty Income Corporation shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0594% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Realty Income Corporation shares, roughly 59 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Realty Income Corporation.

Recently Realty Income Corporation has paid out, on average, around 29.31% of net profits as dividends.
