This Reliable Dividend Stock Is Up Over 8,851% Since Its IPO. Here's Why It's a Buy Now.
Most years, a majority of professional money managers fail to outperform the S&P 500 index. Since its stock market debut in 1994, Realty Income has more than quadrupled the market with an 8,851% total return. At recent prices, Realty Income offers a 5.6% dividend yield. 10 stocks we like better than Realty Income › Enormous sums of money flowing through Wall Street banks have been attracting the world's most talented financial minds for generations. You might be shocked to learn that in any given year, most fail to outperform the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index. Last year, a little over one-fifth of actively managed U.S. funds outperformed the benchmark, and that figure gets much slimmer over time. Over the past 20 years, absolute returns from all but 8% of all large-cap funds in the U.S. underperformed the benchmark. The average American fund manager can't hold a candle to the S&P 500 index, but there's a reliable dividend stock that has outperformed the benchmark by a mile. Since its initial public offering (IPO) in 1994, Realty Income (NYSE: O) stock has risen a little faster than the S&P 500 index. If we add up monthly dividend payments that have risen every quarter since its IPO, Realty Income has trounced the benchmark with an 8,780% total return. Folks who invested $1,000 into the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust at the time of Realty Income's IPO and kept the dividends have seen their investment grow past $22,000. The benchmark index has produced magnificent gains, but it can't hold a candle to Realty Income's long-term returns. Folks who invested $1,000 in Realty Income in 1994 are already halfway toward a down payment on a starter home in California. Realty Income is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that finished March with 15,627 commercial properties in its portfolio. Instead of managing its properties, it has tenants such as Tractor Supply and Home Depot sign net leases that make them responsible for taxes, maintenance, and any other variable costs associated with building ownership. Realty Income's weighted average remaining lease term is over nine years, and investors can look forward to this REIT recapturing those tenants and raising their rent further when their existing leases expire. Since 1996, the company has released about 6,000 properties at a renewal recapture rate of 103%. With annual rent escalators written into long-term leases and an impressive lease renewal recapture rate, Realty Income's cash flows are highly predictable. Recently, the company raised its monthly dividend for the 131st time to $0.269 per share. Despite steadily raising its payout for over 30 years, the well-managed REIT earns enough to raise it much further. Management posted first-quarter adjusted funds from operations (FFO), a proxy for earnings used to evaluate REITs, that rose to $1.06 per share. That's more than it needs to comfortably meet a dividend commitment currently set at $0.807 per quarter. The bond rating agencies adore Realty Income's portfolio of over 15,000 buildings and its track record for steadily growing earnings that goes back to 1970. An A3 rating from Moody's and an A- rating from S&P Global recently helped the company borrow 1.3 billion worth of euros with terms that will make your head spin. The notes it sold don't need to be repaid for about eight years on average, and the average yield to maturity is just 3.69%. Access to heaps of super-cheap capital is an advantage that Realty Income's smaller peers aren't likely to duplicate next year or in the next decade. This means it can offer competitive terms and continue attracting the best tenants for the long run. Even after 55 years in business, the vast majority of commercial buildings are still owned by the companies that operate them. In the U.S., less than 4% of the addressable market for net lease REITs was owned by Realty Income and its publicly traded peers. This figure is less than 0.1% in the E.U. With a favorable competitive position that shouldn't be too difficult to maintain, and a huge addressable market, Realty Income could continue raising its dividend payout every three months for another 30 years. The yield it offers is already a juicy 5.6% at recent prices. Adding some shares of this reliable dividend payer to a diverse portfolio looks like a smart move for just about any investor right now.

How Are We Feeling About AI?
Top view black coffee in a white glass placed on an old cement table with coffee beans. In these chaotic times, a lot of outcomes boil down to a very simple thing – trust. I've heard from a number of experts over the last year, that trust is essential for AI deployment and integrating LLMs into business processes. We look at this all the time in terms of consumer technologies, and how they are adopted. It makes sense to take the temperature of the public right now, as it applies to this rapidly moving industry and how it's getting traction in our lives. Some telling information comes from a Pew research study where a significant majority of the public, in response to questions, said they think that AI will have a negative effect on the country, and will harm them personally. Charts from the study show that this number goes in the opposite direction for experts in AI, people who are better versed in the technologies and have a front row seat to how they work. Now, in terms of personal harm or benefit, it makes sense that the experts would have a rosier picture in mind, because they stand to gain more from this industry continuing to take off. You can see granular sentiments too, in terms of how AI will affect jobs, the economy, medical care, education, entertainment, the environment, personal relationships, and more. And don't forget elections, where a full 0% of the public respondents said AI would be a good influence, and only 11% of experts made that proposition. I also wanted to include this interesting anecdote from a colleague of mine, Juan Enriquez, when he spoke at Imagination in Action in April. I'll try to do his remark justice, without quoting him verbatim, but essentially, Enriquez explained that he sees his outlook change on AI over over time – using days of the week. On Mondays and Tuesdays, he said, he's enthusiastic about our AI future. On Wednesdays, he's not sure. On Thursdays and Fridays, he thinks the world's ending … and then he takes the weekends off. It's definitely good to take the weekends off, as many of us can attest. Enriquez also spent a good portion of his talk going over how the history of IT applies to today. He started out with punch cards, and their use in the textile industry, and paid homage to figures like Charles Babbage and Alan Turing, who he said simply lacked the 'horsepower' to put their ideas into practice. He also gave a nod to the first AI psychotherapist, Eliza, in 1966, and suggested that many people prefer to talk to a machine. 'Why?' he asked. 'Because it's more empathetic. So think about that one for a second. You're beginning to interact with machines on very personal stuff, and when you interact with that machine, it turns out that that machine is more empathetic than the humans that you're used to dealing with.' In addition, Enriquez covered the pace of AI, speaking of tightening compression cycles and adoption curves that are getting shorter. It reminds me of part of a report by Mary Meeker that I covered just recently, where she talked about ChatGPT assuming user velocity more quickly than the Internet, or the personal computer, or the main frame. This is a critical part of anlysis that many of us share in thinking about how big the scope of AI application will be. Here's another major point that Enriquez made that I think was fundamental: To call it 'AI,' he said, is a mistake, he said, referencing innovations like two chatbots talking to one another. 'It's really AIs,' he said. In other words, each iteration of this principle is its own entity, with its own digital brain, its own sphere of influence and its own neural build. Just like us! 'We may want to ask ourselves, as we're asking these questions, how far should we go?' he said. 'How fast should we go? What happens if we can't understand what those machines are doing or saying?' 'Some people are calling it intelligence,' Enriquez said. 'Some people are calling it artificial learning. Some people are calling x, y, z, but what you're actually looking at is something that looks an awful lot like an evolutionary tree of life … how do these things talk to one another? How are they operating this stuff? Maybe there are some common principles, but you're really looking at different results when you try different versions of this stuff, and those results will probably diverge more and more.' Enriquez asked us to ask the question: what can't AI do, and why? 'A Turing test for robots is, take a robot, drop it off anywhere in the city, have it be able to get into the house, find the kitchen, make a cup of coffee,' he said. 'So think about that. You've got to navigate to the house. You've got to figure out where the kitchen is, and then, God bless us, we have a lot of ways of making coffee. So are we going to use a French press? Are we going to use a Turing machine? Are we going to boil the thing, are we going to use Nescafe? Are we going to grind the beans? Where are the beans? Where are the filters? Right? The consequences of the machine being able to make a cup of coffee in a city is that all labor becomes 25 cents an hour.' You can watch the presentation for more, but I thought those questions were relevant to our general sentiment on AI. What things can it do to convince us that it's beneficial to us humans? Making coffee? Helping with medical diagnosis? In the end, I think that time will tell what will win us over in terms of recognizing our digital brethren as helpers and assistants, rather than just a vaguely scary concept.

Those who invested in Aurubis (ETR:NDA) five years ago are up 66%
Aurubis AG (ETR:NDA) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 14% in the last quarter. On the bright side the returns have been quite good over the last half decade. It has returned a market beating 51% in that time. So let's assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 5 years and see if they've moved in lock-step with shareholder returns. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement. Over half a decade, Aurubis managed to grow its earnings per share at 32% a year. The EPS growth is more impressive than the yearly share price gain of 9% over the same period. So it seems the market isn't so enthusiastic about the stock these days. The reasonably low P/E ratio of 8.82 also suggests market apprehension. The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). We're pleased to report that the CEO is remunerated more modestly than most CEOs at similarly capitalized companies. But while CEO remuneration is always worth checking, the really important question is whether the company can grow earnings going forward. Before buying or selling a stock, we always recommend a close examination of historic growth trends, available here.. When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return. As it happens, Aurubis' TSR for the last 5 years was 66%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return. Aurubis provided a TSR of 15% over the last twelve months. But that return falls short of the market. The silver lining is that the gain was actually better than the average annual return of 11% per year over five year. This could indicate that the company is winning over new investors, as it pursues its strategy. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Take risks, for example - Aurubis has 2 warning signs (and 1 which is concerning) we think you should know about. But note: Aurubis may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with past earnings growth (and further growth forecast).
