Realty Income Corporation (O) valuation and DCF model

What the price implies · reverse DCF

At $59.27 the price implies FFO a share growing 0.6% a year for ten years.

FFO a share grew 4.4% a year over the last ten years, 5.2% over the last five. The price asks for less than its ten-year rate. The industry’s median company is priced for 1.5%.

In December 2017 the price assumed 4.7% a year; Realty Income Corporation went on to grow FFO a share 5.3% a year to FY2025.

FFO a share is worked out from Realty Income Corporation’s 10-Ks and 10-Qs: net income, plus the depreciation of its property and impairments, less gains on property sales. It reported AFFO of $1.09 a share for Q2 2026.

The headline discounts the last twelve months’ FFO a share at 9.0% for ten years and grows it 2.5% a year after that, the same for every company, so the figure compares across the market (how a reverse DCF works).

Its assumptions

Powerpack lets you start from a scenario and type over any of them.

The base case’s inputs, which Powerpack lets you change
1 · FFO a share
the four quarters to June 2026, from the 10-Q and 10-K filings

Yearly growth in FFO a share. It usually slows as the company matures.

Today’s price implies FFO a share growing 0.6% a year for ten years.

2 · Rates

Cost of equity is the yearly return shareholders require, typically 8–11%. Terminal growth is growth forever after year 10, usually near long-run inflation, 2–3%.

3 · Per share

The model is a share’s own: no debt to take off and no shares to divide among.

Advanced inputs

Against Realty Income Corporation’s own cost of capital: risk-free 4.3% + beta 0.65 × equity premium 4.5% = 7.2% cost of equity; weighted, 7.2%.

O trades at 13.22× EV/Sales, against a 10-year average of 16.80× (range 13.22×–21.56×). That is cheaper than 100% of the last 9 year-end readings; re-rating to the average implies $82.86 per share.

Every growth rate on this page is the business’s — its cash flow, FFO or dividend — never its share price’s. A discounted-cash-flow model is only as good as its assumptions. Figures from the 10-K and 10-Q filings. Not investment advice.
