Compound O's 5.8% real yield

What does the O total return include?
O total return combines two components: the cumulative distributions you received from O over the holding period, and the change in NAV (share price) across the same window. Many high-yield funds advertise distribution rates that look spectacular in isolation but mask meaningful NAV erosion. The analyzer above shows exactly how much of your O return came from distributions versus price change — a 50% annualized distribution rate paired with a 30% NAV decline is a very different investment than a 50% distribution with flat NAV.
Realty Income Corporation (O) is issued by Realty Income. Trademarked as 'The Monthly Dividend Company®' — has paid 670+ consecutive monthly dividends since its 1994 NYSE listing. Net-lease REIT with 15,000+ commercial properties leased to creditworthy tenants (Dollar General, Walgreens, FedEx, 7-Eleven). S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrat with 32 consecutive years of increases. Monthly payout around $0.268/share (~$3.22 annualized), forward yield ~5%. That strategy directly shapes the gap between headline yield and real yield: option-premium and covered-call funds tend to show large gaps, while traditional dividend ETFs and index funds usually show small ones.
