Better Buy: Realty Income vs. Digital Realty Trust
Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR) and Realty Income (NYSE: O) have treated dividend investors well over the years. Both real estate investment trusts (REITs) have increased their payouts every year since their public listings. They should be able to continue growing those payouts -- which both yield over 4% -- for the foreseeable future.
However, while they both offer high-yielding, growing dividends, some investors might only want to own one REIT in their portfolio. Here's a closer look at which one stands out as the better buy.
Matt DiLallo (Realty Income): While I own Realty Income and Digital Realty, I can't seem to get enough of Realty Income these days. I've been buying shares of the REIT almost every month this year. The big driver is its attractive, steadily rising monthly dividend.
