Realty Income - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Realty Income
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Realty Income Co.:

Realty Income Co. has a strong market capitalization of approximately $50.13 billion, indicating a robust financial position and stability in the real estate investment trust sector.
The company recently reported a quarterly earnings per share (EPS) of $1.05, which, despite missing analysts' expectations slightly, reflects consistent revenue generation and operational performance.
Realty Income Co. has a history of increasing dividends, with a recent announcement of a dividend payment scheduled for March 14th, which can provide a reliable income stream for investors.
The stock is currently trading at $57.28, which is within a reasonable range compared to its 52-week high of $64.88, suggesting potential for price appreciation.
Institutional investors own 70.81% of Realty Income Co.'s stock, indicating strong confidence from large financial entities in the company's future performance.

Realty Income
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Realty Income Co. for these reasons:

The stock has a relatively high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 54.55, which may suggest that it is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially limiting future price growth.
Realty Income Co. reported a net margin of 17.57%, which, while positive, may indicate that there is limited room for operational efficiency improvements compared to industry peers.
The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.68, which, while manageable, indicates that it relies on debt financing, potentially increasing financial risk in a rising interest rate environment.
Recent trading activity shows volatility, with the stock experiencing fluctuations, which may deter risk-averse investors looking for stable investments.
Analysts project an EPS of 4.19 for the current year, which may not be sufficient to justify the current stock price, leading to concerns about future growth potential.
