Realty Income is transitioning from a traditional net lease REIT to an asset manager to pursue higher long-term growth through digital infrastructure and private capital management. In Q2, the company showed solid investment activity, raised its full-year guidance, and maintained a strong balance sheet, though its AFFO growth remains modest at 3.8% projected for 2026. Shares trade at a fair value with a 14.14x forward P/AFFO multiple, and investors can expect a 5% dividend yield while watching for potential multiple expansion if new business initiatives succeed. Risks include treasury yield fluctuations and execution challenges in new business areas.
