According to InvestingPro data, the stock is trading near its 52-week high of $64.88 and currently appears slightly overvalued based on Fair Value analysis.

Realty Income’s investments in Europe have outpaced those in the US in both volume and cap rate during the first half of 2025, leading the company to increase its investment guidance by $1 billion to $5 billion for 2025.
