This Reliable Dividend Stock Is Up Over 8,851% Since Its IPO. Here's Why It's a Buy Now.
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. How Realty Income has outperformed the S&P 500 for decades 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. Why Realty Income can continue beating the market 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.

Shares of meatpacking giant JBS rise slightly in debut on the NYSE
Shares of Brazilian meat giant JBS gained 1.6% in as they made their debut Friday on the New York Stock Exchange. Trading in New York has been a long-held goal for JBS, which was founded 72 years ago and is now one of the world's largest meat companies. Half of its annual revenue comes from the U.S., where it has more than 72,000 employees. JBS is America's top beef producer and its second-largest producer of poultry and pork. JBS's minority shareholders voted last month to approve the company's plan to list its shares both in Sao Paulo and New York, casting aside opposition from environmental groups, U.S. lawmakers and others who noted JBS' record of corruption, monopolistic behavior and environmental destruction. JBS said a dual listing would give it broader access to investors and more competitive interest rates, which would help it finance its growth. It has also said a U.S. listing would subject it to more oversight from regulators. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved JBS's planned listing last month. Still, the proposed listing has received significant pushback. Earlier this week, Mighty Earth, an environmental group, said it sent a letter to the NYSE board urging it to decline the listing. Mighty Earth contends that JBS is illegally profiting from deforested land in Brazil. Glass Lewis, an influential independent investor advisory firm, was also among those recommending that JBS's shareholders reject the planned listing. In its report, Glass Lewis said the recent return of brothers Joesley and Wesley Batista to the JBS board should concern investors. The brothers, who are the sons of JBS' founder, were briefly jailed in Brazil in 2017 on bribery and corruption charges. Glass Lewis also objected to the company's plan for dual share classes, which give the Batistas and other controlling shareholders more voting power.
