Realty Income pays a monthly dividend that currently yields 5.8%. The real estate investment trust (REIT) has a flawless record of paying dividends. The company has increased its payment at least once a year since its public market listing in 1994 (132 times overall), including raising it for the past 112 consecutive quarters. It has grown the payout at a 4.2% compound annual rate during that period.

The REIT generates very stable cash flow. It owns a well-diversified portfolio of commercial properties (retail, industrial, gaming, and others) secured by long-term net leases. Those leases provide stable and steadily rising rental income backed by annual lease escalation clauses.

Realty Income has a very conservative dividend payout ratio and a fortress balance sheet. That gives it the financial flexibility to invest in new income-producing commercial properties. Those investments grow its rental income, allowing the REIT to continue raising its monthly dividend payment.

Enterprise Products Partners’ distribution currently yields 7.2%. The master limited partnership (MLP), which sends investors a Schedule K-1 Federal Tax Form each year, also has a perfect payment record. It has increased its distribution for 27 straight years, every year since its IPO.

The energy midstream giant produces very stable cash flow. The bulk of its assets operate under long-term fee-based contracts or government-regulated rate structures. The MLP pays out a conservative percentage of its stable cash flow in distributions, retaining the rest to invest in expansion projects.

Enterprise Products Partners is currently wrapping up a major multi-year expansion phase that began in 2022. Those capital projects are supplying it with significant incremental earnings. Meanwhile, with its capital spending on track to fall next year, it will produce even more free cash flow. That will allow the MLP to return even more cash to investors in 2026.
