"Realty Income Investors Concerned as Third-Largest Customer Closes 1,000 Locations"

Realty Income, a retail REIT, faces potential impact from Dollar Tree's plan to close 1,000 locations as it is the company's third-largest tenant, representing 3.3% of its total annualized-contractual rent. However, with Dollar Tree and Family Dollar having over 16,000 locations combined, the impact on Realty Income is mitigated. The closures will occur over a multiyear period, allowing Realty Income time to seek new tenants, and its recent acquisition of Spirit Realty can help offset potential losses. With a long history of dividend raises and a proven track record of property occupancy, Realty Income remains an attractive investment for passive income seekers.
