All It Takes Is 336 Shares of Realty Income Stock to Generate $1,000 in Yearly Dividends. Here's Whether the Payout Is Safe.

Realty Income, a REIT specializing in net-leased commercial properties, offers a sustainable dividend yield of 4.85% with 12 annual payments. The company has raised its dividend for 32 consecutive years and generates sufficient funds from operations ($4.27 per share) to cover its $3.25 per share dividend while maintaining growth.
