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 shares 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 5.9646. 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 Corporation'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 Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 140.4% 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 $3.088 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 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 31 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Realty Income Corporation's shares ever split?

Realty Income Corporation's shares were split on a 1032:1000 basis on 14 November 2021 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1032 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Realty Income Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 3.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Realty Income Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Realty Income Corporation's share price.

Realty Income Corporation share price volatility
