The term "shareholder yield" is often used to refer to combinations of buybacks and dividends. If a stock pays a 2% dividend and buys back 3% of its shares, then the "shareholder yield" for the year is 5%. In the case of O, it issues new shares almost continuously as part of acquiring new properties. If done properly, these acquisitions are still accretive to existing shareholders. However the new share issuance is likely being counted as a "negative buyback".
