NNN REIT (NNN) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.87 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.83 per share. This compares to FFO of $0.84 per share a year ago.

ORLANDO, Fla. , May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NNN REIT, Inc. (NYSE: NNN) (the "Company" or "NNN"), a real estate investment trust, today announced financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

The average dividend yield of stocks in the S&P 500 index (^GSPC 0.15%) is just 1.3% or so today, even though the index fell into correction territory earlier in 2025. That speaks to both the still-high level of the market and the volatility that is rampant right now.

Gold is experiencing a strong rally, with rising demand due to economic uncertainty and market volatility. However, despite its appeal as a safe haven, I prefer dividend stocks over gold. Gold has a long history of preserving wealth, but it lacks the consistent returns and cash flow that dividend stocks provide. I believe high-quality dividend stocks are better investments. Real estate, energy, and utilities offer the highest yields, and I particularly favor midstream energy companies and safe net lease REITs. These stocks offer steady income and growth potential.

Investing in dividend stocks is a great way to make some extra cash. The top ones pay a lucrative income stream that steadily rises, enabling you to turn idle cash into a growing stream of passive income.

NNN REIT, with 35 years of uninterrupted dividend growth, has a strong financial position and high occupancy rate despite recent share price declines due to rate hikes. The company focuses on retail properties with triple-net leases, ensuring tenants cover taxes, maintenance, and insurance, providing stable income and growth opportunities. NNN's solid balance sheet, minimal short-term debt, and high dividend yield of 5.4% make it an attractive investment, especially with expected interest rate cuts.

NNN stands out for long-term investors due to its disciplined investment approach and strong balance sheet management, thriving even in uncertain markets. The recent market volatility from Trump's tariff announcements underscores the value of stable, defensive investments like NNN, which has a proven track record. NNN has a 40-year history of rewarding shareholders and boasts 35 consecutive years of annual dividend increases, offering a nearly 5.6% starting yield.

You don't need to be a millionaire to retire comfortably; most retirees are doing well with significantly less than $1.5 million in savings. The Federal Reserve's survey shows that 86% of retirees aged 65-74 are managing financially, with many living comfortably on savings between $50,000 and $249,000. Social Security benefits and reduced spending in retirement contribute significantly to financial security, making high savings targets less critical for many.

REITs have been in the doghouse for years. However, that could all be changing soon—don't miss the window. I also discuss one near-zero net debt REIT offers inflation protection, recession resistance, and deep value.
