Realty Income increases commercial paper program by $500m; What it means for O stock
Dino Kurbegovic

Realty Income (NYSE: O) has increased the amount of the U.S. dollar-denominated unsecured commercial paper it may issue by $500 million. Following the close of the commercial paper market on July 12, the firm increased the maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes that may be issued from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion.

The notes will be sold under customary terms in the United States commercial paper note market, and proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. For the repayment of the notes issued under the program, the company expects to use its $4.25 billion revolving credit facility as a liquidity backstop.

Furthermore, Realty Income declared a $0.2475/share dividend, with a forward yield of 4.28%, making it the 625th consecutive monthly dividend

Battling stagflation

Furthermore, according to Jefferies analyst Jonathon Peterson, REITs within a data center, industrial and senior housing sub-sectors could be best suited for a stagflation environment. 

Moreover, an inflation-driven recession may hurt occupancy rates; however, focusing on high-quality REITs with strong cash positions and high occupancy rates could yield the best results. 

So far, in 2020, REITs have shown that they can keep their occupants and pay out regular dividends to their investors. For investors interested in earning a dividend on their investment Realty Income may well be worth keeping on your watchlist.
