Realty Income Just Raised Its Dividend Hours After the 10-Year Treasury Hit 5%. A Widow With $300,000 in the Stock Now Gets $1,370 a Month. Here's How Safe the Check Is247wallst.com· 3d
A 247wallst.com article examines how safe Realty Income's dividend is after the company raised it to $0.274 a share — its 137th increase since 1994 — hours after the 10-year Treasury yield topped 5% on November 10, 2026, leaving the stock yielding 5.5%. Working through a hypothetical 72-year-old widow with about $300,000 in the stock whose monthly check rises to $1,370, it argues the payout stays covered even if higher yields push the share price down, though CEO Sumit Roy's claim that the payout ratio is among the lowest in the company's history sits against costlier 2027 refinancing.
