Realty Income’s dividend has gone up every year
Realty Income paid $2.2714 per share in 2015 and $3.217 in 2025, a rise of about 3.5% a year. Every year in between paid more than the year before, with yearly gains between 1.4% and 5.7%. The 2025 total was 2.9% above 2024.
In 2026 it has paid $2.4345 per share from January to September, 1.1% more than the same nine months of 2025 ($2.4085). The company counts 136 dividend increases since it listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1994. That includes 116 quarterly increases in a row. It says the dividend has grown about 4.1% a year over that time.
Did Realty Income raise its dividend?
Yes. On September 8, 2026, it raised the monthly dividend to $0.2715 per share from $0.2710. That works out to $3.258 a year, up from $3.252. The first payment at the new rate goes to holders of record on September 30, 2026 and is paid on October 15.
Recent raises have been small and frequent. In 2026 the monthly amount went from $0.27 to $0.2705 in March, to $0.271 in June and to $0.2715 in September. Realty Income is in the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index. That index requires at least 25 years of increases, and the company says it has raised its dividend for over 31 years in a row.
O ex-dividend date and pay date
The last ex-dividend date was Sep 30, 2026, for $0.2715 per share.
In 2026, Realty Income has set the record date on the last business day of the month, and the ex-dividend date falls on the same day. The money arrives on the 15th of the next month, or the business day before when the 15th is a weekend. So to be paid in a given month, you need to own the shares before the end of the month before.
For the payments from January to October 2026, each amount was announced 10 to 24 days before its record date.
Is the O dividend safe?
No dividend is guaranteed, but Realty Income’s own figures show it covered with room to spare. In the second quarter of 2026 it paid $0.812 per share in dividends, 74.5% of its adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) of $1.09 per share. AFFO is a cash-flow measure REITs commonly use to show what they can afford to pay.
For the full year, the company expects AFFO of $4.44 to $4.45 per share. The new yearly dividend of $3.258 is about 73% of the middle of that range. Its buildings were 98.8% occupied on June 30, 2026, and Fitch gave it an ‘A’ credit rating in August 2026.
O dividend yield
As of Oct 13, 2026, O’s trailing yield was about 5.95%: $3.25 paid per share over the past year, at a share price near $54.62. At the new rate of $3.258 a year, the same price gives a forward yield of about 5.96%.
Because the dividend rises only a little at a time, the yield mostly moves with the share price: when the price falls, the yield goes up, and the other way round.
How much O stock for $1,000 a month?
At $0.2715 per share each month, $1,000 a month takes 3,684 shares. Near $54.62 a share, that is about $201,227.
Each 100 shares pays $27.15 a month at the current rate. Use the calculator above to try other amounts or to reinvest the dividends.

About O
Realty Income is a real estate investment trust that owns thousands of single-tenant commercial properties on long net leases. Branded "The Monthly Dividend Company," it pays monthly and has a long history of regular dividend increases.
O is a monthly-paying reit from Realty Income that distributes monthly. Because dividend investing is about both income and the growth of that income, the calculator above lets you model three things independently for O: the starting yield, how fast the dividend grows each year, and how fast the share price appreciates. That separation matters most for high-yield versus dividend-growth choices, where a lower starting yield that grows quickly can overtake a higher static yield over time.
How to use the O calculator
- Replace the pre-filled yield with O’s current dividend yield from your broker or the fund’s page.
- Set your initial investment and monthly contribution.
- Estimate the dividend growth rate and price growth rate. For a monthly-paying reit these can differ a lot — be realistic rather than optimistic.
- Choose your dividend tax rate and whether to reinvest (DRIP), then read the projected value, dividends received, and yield on cost.
