- Stable Credit Ratings: Realty Income Corporation holds an A- rating from S&P Global Ratings and an A3 from Moody's Investors Service, indicating a stable credit profile, although market volatility may still impact stock performance.
- Strong Financial Metrics: As of Q3 2025, Realty Income reported an occupancy rate of 98.7% and a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 5.4x, reflecting robust financial health and a lower capital burden that supports investor confidence during market stress.
- Active Financing Strategy: The company priced $750 million of convertible senior notes in January 2026, demonstrating its proactive approach to capital access, although this does not fully mitigate the risks associated with market volatility.
- Future Outlook: Realty Income is set to report its Q4 and full-year 2025 results on February 24, 2026, and investors should monitor its financial performance and market reactions to assess future investment opportunities and risks.
