## Elevator Pitch

- Lower rates can spur deal activity, growing the investment portfolio and hence leasable square feet, AFFOs, and dividends.
- Net new store growth in Realty Income's key clients can help boost rental incomes.
- Realty Income's stock is trading at a discount vs peers and also seems undervalued due to falling P/B multiples despite improving fundamentals as seen in rising book values.
- Seller momentum is slowing down on both O vs S&P500 and O vs the S&P500 Dividends Aristocrats Index. But there is no strong buy sign yet.
- A key downside risk I am watching out for in the upcoming Q4 FY24 earnings is a rising impairment provisions mix that is pressuring AFFO margins.
