Realty Income stock, tied to ISIN US75513E1010, traded at $62.40 at the August 17, 2026 close while the company reported $1.55 billion in quarterly revenue, $1.09 EPS and FY 2026 guidance of 4.440-4.450 EPS.
August 5 numbers still set the tone
The August 5, 2026 quarter matched consensus on EPS at $1.09 and beat the revenue view of $1.40 billion by $150 million, while sales rose 9.7 percent from the prior year period to $1.55 billion.
MarketBeat's coverage put the company's market value at $59.10 billion and showed a price-to-earnings ratio of 45.59, while Seeking Alpha's market snapshot showed a market cap of $59.35 billion after the August 17 close.
Income and guidance
The same August 5 report showed net margin of 20.93 percent and return on equity of 3.12 percent. Analysts' current fiscal-year estimate stands at 4.43 EPS, just below Realty Income's FY 2026 guidance band of 4.440-4.450 EPS.
That gap is small in absolute terms, but it matters for a REIT that trades on stability, dividend support and consistency in monthly cash generation.
Dividend cadence matters
The company also paid a monthly dividend of $0.271 on August 14, 2026, keeping the payout rhythm intact for income-focused investors.
For Realty Income, the near-term story is less about a single dramatic catalyst and more about whether the August 5 quarter can keep supporting a valuation that already sits in the mid-40s on earnings.
What the portfolio owns
Realty Income owns a large portfolio of freestanding, single-tenant properties and long-duration leases, which is why recurring rent collection and occupancy trends remain central to the equity case.
The monthly dividend model, the guidance band and the latest quarter all point to the same business profile: a defensive REIT that is priced for predictability.
Price and setup
At the August 17, 2026 close, Realty Income changed hands at $62.40, with after-hours trading at $62.48 in the market snapshot. The market cap in the same snapshot was $59.35 billion.
