Bank of America warns Wall Street is due for a pullback; Motley Fool presents Realty Income and Visa as stocks it considers resilient. Realty Income’s yield is 5.7%, while Visa processed 71.7 billion transactions in fiscal Q3 2026, up 10% year over year.
Realty Income is a net-lease REIT with more than 15,500 properties across North America and Europe; tenants cover most property-level operating costs. Its occupancy never fell below 96% during the Great Recession, and it has raised its dividend every year for 31 consecutive years, according to the article.
Visa’s dividend yield is 0.7%, but the article emphasizes its growth: fiscal Q3 2026 revenue rose 14% to $11.6 billion, and its dividend grew at an annualized rate of more than 15% over the past decade. The article says Visa processes payments without taking the lending risk borne by card issuers; its price-to-sales and price-to-earnings ratios were slightly below their five-year averages.
