Realty Income remains a hold as rising rates and a hawkish Fed outlook constrain upside. O's current 14x P/FFO is reasonable versus AA bond yields of ~5%, which can support a multiple of up to 20x per Graham's framework.

Graham (GHM) saw its shares surge in the last session with trading volume being higher than average. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions may not translate into further price increase in the near term.
Graham Corporation is rated Buy with a $126 price target, reflecting 25% upside from current levels. Record FY26 results—$245.3M revenue, $532.6M backlog, 1.5x book-to-bill—set up FY27 for 18% revenue and 44% Adjusted EBITDA growth.
