The 3 Things That Matter for Realty Income (O) Now
Key Points Realty Income is a giant real estate investment trust and a bellwether in the net lease sector. The REIT is so large relative to its peers that it is likely to be a laggard on the growth front. However, it is working to ensure that it remains a reliable foundation for dividend portfolios. 10 stocks we like better than Realty Income › Realty Income (NYSE: O) is offering investors a 5.6% dividend yield today. That's well above both the market's 1.2% yield and the average real estate investment trust's (REIT's) yield of roughly 3.9%. If you're a long-term dividend investor, it probably makes sense to consider adding Realty Income to your portfolio, since it has increased its dividend annually for three decades and counting. But make sure you understand these three things before you buy it. 1. Realty Income is a giant With a market capitalization of roughly $50 billion, Realty Income is multiple times larger than its next closest peers in the net lease niche of the REIT sector. This is both good and bad. On the negative side, Realty Income is so large that it takes a huge amount of new property acquisitions to move the needle on the top and bottom lines. This means that relatively slow growth is likely to be the norm here in the future. But being so large isn't all bad. On the positive side, Realty Income has the wherewithal to take on deals that its peers couldn't manage. It likely sees all of the material deals that are in the market (allowing it to cherry-pick to some degree), it can act as an industry consolidator, and its size gives it easier access to Wall Street. So while slow growth is probably going to be the norm, steady growth is also highly likely, with contractual rent bumps in its leases augmented by its ability to keep buying new properties. 2. Realty Income is looking to increase its growth opportunities Realty Income isn't ignoring the size limitations it faces. In fact, it is embracing its scale. For example, a few years ago it began expanding into Europe, a market that is still only just starting to use the net lease approach. That materially expands the opportunity set the company has as it looks to buy new properties. Realty Income has also been working to increase the number of property markets in which it competes. Historically, retail and industrial has been the core here. But management has been venturing into new spaces, like casinos and data centers, as it looks to find new levers for growth. More recently, Realty Income has started to make loans and to offer asset management services to institutional investors. Overall, this giant REIT is using its scale to reach out into new areas that will, hopefully, help to sustain its growth over the long term. 3. Realty Income knows what it is The last issue that really matters here is that Realty Income isn't trying to be something it's not. Management understands that it is a giant company and that investors buy it because of its large and reliable dividend. In fact, the company trademarked the nickname, "The Monthly Dividend Company" to highlight the commitment it has to being a reliable dividend stock. This is so important because it means that the board and the CEO aren't building castles in the sand that will get washed away when the tide comes in. They are building a REIT that can keep paying dividends reliably through thick and thin. That means that long-term investors can use Realty Income as a foundational investment atop which they can comfortably buy more aggressive dividend stocks. What really matters with Realty Income is both obvious and subtle Every company has nuances to consider, and that's true of Realty Income, too. The two most obvious stories are the company's vast size and what it is doing with the scale it has achieved. In the background, however, is perhaps the most notable issue. Realty Income knows what its shareholders expect, and it's working every day to meet those expectations by providing investors with a reliable and growing dividend.

As AI Momentum Grows, Should Investors Buy ServiceNow Stock?
Key Points ServiceNow turned in strong Q2 results and raised guidance powered by AI adoption. The company looks well positioned as the world turns to AI agents. However, the stock has struggled to gain traction this year. 10 stocks we like better than ServiceNow › Share prices of ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) jumped after the software company reported strong revenue growth and yet again raised its guidance due to strong artificial intelligence (AI) adoption. That said, the stock has struggled to gain traction this year, with its shares down about 7% as of this writing. Despite the stock's underperformance in 2025, it is still one of the best-performing stocks of the past decade, with its shares up nearly 1,200% during that span. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) company made a name for itself as an information technology (IT) management platform before expanding into other areas of organizational workflows such as customer service and human resources. ServiceNow's strength is that its platform can connect siloed departments to create a unified system of record between departments. This in turn is used to help organizations digitize, streamline, and automate their operations. ServiceNow's unified data system and structured workflows make it an ideal environment for AI, which performs best when it has clean and consistent data. As such, the company has embedded AI throughout its Now Platform, including introducing generative AI assistants and more recently AI agents. AI growth continues AI continued to be the biggest driver of ServiceNow's growth in the second quarter. Now Assist -- the company's generative AI suite of solutions -- continued to outperform expectations, with the company signing 21 deals that have five or more Now Assist products. Its number of Pro Plus deals -- which bundle Now Assist with other advanced tools -- climbed 50% sequentially. Eighteen of its 20 largest deals included Pro Plus. The company also recently introduced AI Control Tower, which is a centralized platform for managing AI agents from both ServiceNow and third parties. The company is already using AI agents across its own business and sees AI agents as having a $350 million value this year. Meanwhile, it said it already surpassed its initial full-year net new annual contract value (ACV) expectations for AI Control Tower in just 60 days. Turning to its results, revenue rose 22.5% year over year to $3.22 billion, while adjusted earnings per share (EPS) climbed 30.7% to $4.09. That easily topped the analyst consensus, which was looking for EPS of $3.57 on revenue of $3.12 billion, as compiled by the LSEG. Subscription revenue jumped 22.5% year over year to $3.11 billion, while professional services revenue climbed 19.5% to $102 million. The company continues to do well in adding large customers, increasing its number of customers with a net ACV of $20 million or more by more than 30%. It had 89 deals greater than $1 million in net new ACV in the quarter. The company said transportation and logistics ACV soared more than 100% in the quarter, while technology, media, and telecom ACV surged 70%. Another metric investors like to follow with ServiceNow is growth in remaining performance obligations (RPO), which is deferred revenue plus backlog growth, since it can be an indicator of future growth. In the quarter, the company saw RPO increase by 29% to $23.9 billion, while current RPO (cRPO) rose by 24.5% to $10.9 billion. ServiceNow's revenue growth accelerated in Q2, and this could be an indication that this could continue. The company forecast its Q3 subscription revenue to grow between 20% to 20.5% to a range of $3.26 billion to $3.265 billion. It is expecting cRPO to also increase by 18.5%. Notably, its subscription revenue growth forecast for Q3 is higher than its forecast was for Q2. For the full year, the company upped its subscription revenue guidance. It now anticipates subscription revenue of between $12.775 billion to $12.795 billion, up from previous guidance of $12.64 billion to $12.68 billion. The updated outlook represents growth of around 20%. Original Forecast (Jan) Prior Forecast (Apr) New Forecast (July) Subscription revenue $12.635 billion to $12.675 billion $12.64 billion to $12.68 billion $12.775 billion to $12.795 billion Growth 18.5% to 19% 19% to 19.5% 20% Source: ServiceNow. Is the stock a buy? ServiceNow's stock has been caught up in the narrative that there is a cautious enterprise-software spending environment. However, the company has continued to see strong growth, which accelerated in Q2 and could possibly accelerate next quarter as well. Given that its platform can improve operational efficiency and save costs, the company is in a solid position even during periods of economic uncertainty. More importantly, though, the company looks well positioned to be an AI winner. Its already seeing solid growth stemming from AI, and now it's looking to become an AI agentic hub through its AI Control Tower. If agentic AI become the next big AI investment wave, ServiceNow looks set to be a big potential winner. From a valuation perspective, the stock trades at a forward price-to-sales multiple of 13 based on 2026 analyst estimates. That's reasonable for a high-margin SaaS business with 20%-plus revenue growth, but it's also likely a part of the reason why the stock has been stuck in the mud this year despite posting strong results. I think it is worth accumulating a small position in the stock at current levels, but I'd be a more aggressive buyer on a dip. Do the experts think ServiceNow is a buy right now? The Motley Fool's expert analyst team, drawing on years of investing experience and deep analysis of thousands of stocks, leverages our proprietary Moneyball AI investing database to uncover top opportunities. They've just revealed their to buy now — did ServiceNow make the list? When our Stock Advisor analyst team has a stock recommendation, it can pay to listen. After all, Stock Advisor's total average return is up 1,036% vs. just 181% for the S&P — that is beating the market by 855.09%!* Imagine if you were a Stock Advisor member when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $625,254!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $1,090,257!* The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.
