Revenue growth at 9.1% outpaces the sector median 5.4% by +69%, a rare strength for a real-estate operator. Yet profitability lags: ROE stands at 2.7%, well below the sector median 9.0% by -70%, and the P/E of 45.9× runs +23% above the median 37.2×. The balance sheet is the clearest asset — Debt/EBITDA at 0.0× sits far below the sector median 4.2×, and P/B of 1.5× trades -43% below the median 2.6×, signaling modest book value relative to price. An F-Score of 6/9 reflects stable profitability offset by weaker efficiency metrics. Forward consensus models earnings growth that the realized three-year CAGR has not yet matched, and the forward PEG reads stretched — the market prices in recovery that the track record does not yet support. The tension here is structural: a low-return business with solid debt discipline, priced for growth it has not delivered.

The market prices in earnings growth; analyst sentiment is strengthening; has not always beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
A forward P/E below the current one means the market expects earnings to grow; above it, to fall. The historical growth is realized figures from SEC filings, not a forecast.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
When Realty Income reports on 2026-11-02, track revenue growth year over year against the current 5.36% pace and check whether the F-Score profitability block holds its 4/4 reading. ROE at 8.97% — 70% below the sector median — is the figure most worth watching for any directional shift.
Pull the most recent annual filing on SEC EDGAR and focus on the leverage disclosures: Debt/EBITDA sits at 4.17×, and the Leverage and Liquidity block scored only 1/3 on the F-Score. Management's discussion should clarify how refinancing risk and capital allocation are being managed at that debt load.
Pick two or three names from the same-sector table in section 06 and line up one metric — P/E, Debt/EBITDA, or revenue growth YoY. O's P/E of 37.2× runs 23% above the sector median, so placing it beside other entries in the table gives a clearer sense of where that premium sits relative to the range.

The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
