Realty Income Corp. reported net income of $403.9 million, or $0.43 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The company lifted its 2026 AFFO per‑share outlook to $4.45‑$4.46 and confirmed a goal to invest $10 billion in assets by year‑end. It also increased its monthly dividend to $0.813 per share, its 116th consecutive rise, and issued $1 billion of 3.75 % convertible senior notes due 2031 together with a €528 million joint‑venture investment with KKR in Europe.

The company says the higher AFFO guidance reflects stronger cash flow and supports the raised dividend, which may attract income‑focused investors. The $10 bn investment target signals continued capital deployment, while the new convertible notes provide additional financing flexibility.
