O Realty Income · ex-dividend date & dividend history

Not announced yet. Last year Realty Income announced its November dividend on Oct 14, 2025. This page is updated when it is.

The latest dividend was $0.2715 per share, with an ex-date of Wednesday, September 30, 2026. The last 12 dividends add up to $3.245 per share.

O pays monthly, 12 times a year. Pays every month, around the middle of the month.

To get the next dividend you have to buy before the ex-date. That doesn't make it free money: with everything else held still, the price is expected to open lower on the ex-date by about the dividend, since new buyers no longer get it (the market moves the price too). Buying before or after mostly decides whether the next payment reaches you as cash, which in a taxable account is taxed that year. The Ex-Dividend Price Drop Calculator works it out for any price and dividend.

No. Shares bought on or after the ex-date don't get that dividend. You need to buy by the trading day before it. Selling on or after the ex-date keeps the dividend.

About 3,698 shares. $1,000 a month is $12,000 a year, and O's last 12 dividends came to $3.245 a share: $12,000 ÷ $3.245. For $500 a month it's about 1,849 shares, and for $2,000 a month about 7,396. The dividend changes, so the number does too; the calculator above shows what that many shares would cost at your price.
