Realty Income

Rising interest rates have driven an ~8% decline in REITs over three months, with Realty Income down 14% and Agree Realty down 16%. Realty Income's larger, diversified portfolio, investment-grade balance sheet and 5.7% yield give it advantaged access to capital and make it better positioned short term. Agree Realty, smaller and U.S.-retail focused with a ~4.7% yield, may offer faster dividend growth but is more exposed to higher borrowing costs from acquisitions. For long-term, income-focused investors Realty Income is recommended; dividend-growth investors may prefer Agree but face greater near-term rate risk. » Plus sur finance.yahoo.com
