The near-unanimous institutional exit from O, particularly the massive Parnassus selloff, signals a structural rotation away from net-lease REITs. Monitor Q4 2026 13F filings for continuation of this trend and any insider buying as a potential contrarian signal.
Executive Summary
A significant institutional selloff in Realty Income Corp (O) occurred in Q3 2026, with 7 sellers reducing holdings by a net $760.5M, led by Parnassus Investments exiting nearly 94% of its position. Only one small buyer (Concurrent Investment Advisors) doubled a modest stake. The cluster suggests a broad de-risking from net-lease REITs amid interest rate uncertainty.
