Realty Income (NYSE:O) has secured a $694 million long-term unsecured term loan from Goldman Sachs, which will be used to finance a municipal prepay transaction for San Diego Community Power. This financing, structured with fixed rates and cross-currency swaps, aims to lower the blended cost of debt to 4.34% and introduces euro exposure, aligning with the company’s European expansion strategy. While this move provides flexible funding for long-duration assets, investors are cautioned to monitor existing leverage, interest coverage ratios, and foreign exchange risks, especially given previous concerns about interest payments not being well covered by earnings.
