O 10-K Analysis: The $6B Acquisition Treadmill Behind 9% Revenue Growth
Realty Income reported 9% revenue growth and 98.9% occupancy in its FY2025 10-K — but the revenue bridge tells a different story. Same-store rent grew just 1.27%, while acquisitions funded by $2.4 billion in new equity contributed more than half of all growth. We decompose the acquisition treadmill, quantify the 5.4 percentage point dilution drag that halves per-share returns, and assess whether the private capital pivot can break the cycle before a $10.3 billion debt wall arrives.
