Dr. Yaman Ege: "Realty Income offers a compelling value‑oriented profile thanks to consistent FFO growth and dividend stability. Yet, consumer spending uncertainty and the ongoing transformation of the retail sector could introduce short‑term volatility. Investors should mitigate risk by monitoring lease‑term extensions and tenant diversification."
