When it comes to monthly dividend stocks, Realty Income (O +0.40%) is the clear leader. It bills itself as The Monthly Dividend Company, having paid 664 consecutive monthly dividends as of Oct. 2024. Since its initial public offering (IPO) in 1994, Realty Income has increased its dividend 132 times while raising the payout at a 4.3% compound annual rate, giving this REIT more than 30 years of dividend increases.

Realty Income has lots of room to grow despite most of its tenants being relatively slower-growth businesses. The company estimates the global market opportunity for the single-tenant net lease real estate it targets to be $13.9 trillion. That's a big opportunity to continue consolidating its tenants' properties under its ownership, growing the payout, and generally rewarding patient investors monthly, year in and year out.
