Where ABEV ranks
We compute the same 0–10 safety score across 53 dividend-paying stocks and ETFs. Here's where ABEV lands inside that universe.
The universe is curated to the most-searched US dividend payers. We'll expand it as the data layer grows; sector percentiles only appear when we have at least 5 comparable peers.
The two questions a safety score doesn't answer
A safety score tells you how durable ABEV's payout looks. It does not tell you what you keep after tax, or whether something else does the same job better.
On tax: what you actually pocket depends on whether ABEV dividends are qualified — qualified distributions are taxed at 0%, 15%, or 20%, while ordinary ones are taxed at your full marginal rate, a gap that can reach 22 percentage points of the income on the same headline yield.
On substitutes: if ABEV's 6.8/10 score is lower than you want, see ABEV alternatives — same-sector stocks ranked by how closely they match ABEV on both yield and safety, so you can see what a swap actually costs you.
