Even with dividends reinvested, it's been trailing the market significantly.

Realty income stock prices have fallen rapidly in the past few months. If we look at just the last month , we can see that the share price has fallen by about 10.2%, which is a pretty big drop for this stock.

Historically, its volatility has been very low compared to the S&P 500. And the interesting thing is, it has only increased by 0.5% since the beginning of the year. Remember, this REIT rose 17.5% earlier this year , while the S&P 500 rose only 2%. 8%.

Probably the most popular monthly dividend paying stock of all time is Realy Income Stock Ticker O. And even after the recent runup in its share price, the stock is still yielding close to around 5.2%.

In fact, if we look at the performance year to date relative to the S&P 500, it's actually outperformed in 2026 and it's even outperformed its benchmark, the Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund.
