Summary
- Realty Income has become almost as much of a battleground stock as AT&T.
- It's another ideal name for investors seeking income alongside relative stability.
- In fact, Realty Income's client base is so strong it could help comprise a nice-looking portfolio for some investors.
- Will Realty Income (O) become the next AT&T (T)?
The world's most boring battleground stock.
Given the attention Seeking Alpha contributors and subscribers pay attention to the stock, it's almost there.
As I write this, Seeking Alpha has published 11 articles with T as the focus ticker for August. O comes in at seven. I'm sure between the time I'm crafting narrative gold and publication, there will be at least several more. And I'm all for it.
It's high time more relatively boring stocks see the spotlight. A new investor who stumbles on Seeking Alpha will end up better off buying Realty Income or AT&T stock than she will loading up on a penny stock that promises to turn psychedelics into a Coronavirus treatment.
I'm O So Bullish
I'm beyond bullish Realty Income's stock.
Several Seeking Alpha authors have made sound cases in response to recent bearishness.
Brad Thomas set straight the stock's recent growth pattern. The baddest man of them all, Regarded Solutions, detailed the strength of O's dividend. And FIG Ideas delivered on all of the above alongside a solid company analysis.
I recently articulated the power of buying, holding, and reinvesting dividends into stocks such as O and T. There's no better way to structure a portfolio than to load it with income stalwarts that are in sound spaces alongside growth or the potential for growth. If they're well operated from a financial perspective, as Realty Income and AT&T are, all the better.
There's nothing better than knowing that management can effectively mind and maintain the dividend during times of widespread tumult or a period of stagnation at the company. These are the core reasons why we're so passionate about Realty Income and AT&T.
In Realty Income's case, its portfolio says it all. And its portfolio can inform your portfolio. In fact, you would be smart to consider using Realty Income's portfolio to construct part of your own. Like almost to a tee.
