On CAPS, 24.4% of the 131 All-Star members who have rated Realty Income believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include All-Stars TMFBuck and Entrepreneur58, both of whom are ranked in the top 20% of our community.

Late last week, TMFBuck followed the lead of high-profile hedge fund manager Bill Ackman and slapped an underperform call on the stock: "Poor player in commercial real estate that pays out 100% of cash to dividend. When commercial real estate market falls, I wouldn't want to be owning this."

In a pitch from two days earlier, Entrepreneur58 expands on the stock as a scary way to earn income:

Retail REIT that attracts small investors with dividends during a low rate environment. Its properties are rented to what management calls "less than investment grade" tenants. They call that JUNK in the bond market. When they eventually cut the dividend, the punters who bought it for the dividend will be in a panic to see who can get out the fastest.
