Such a low SIR usually points to an 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 28.14% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.7% of the current stock value.

However, indirectly, the new 50% 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.
