COP Conoco Phillips
Conoco Phillips has a solid dividend profile with no major red flags in the snapshot data.
Why we rate it 7.8
- Yield of 2.88% is in the typical sustainable zone (2-4%)
- Payout ratio of 55% is comfortable — typical for mature dividend payers
- Current yield is meaningfully above the 5-year average of 2.47% — could be a value opportunity or a stress signal
- Large-cap scale (>$50B) — established business with predictable cash flows
Where COP ranks
We compute the same 0–10 safety score across 53 dividend-paying stocks and ETFs. Here's where COP 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 COP'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 COP 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 COP's 7.8/10 score is lower than you want, see COP alternatives — same-sector stocks ranked by how closely they match COP on both yield and safety, so you can see what a swap actually costs you.

How we score dividend safety
The Infnits dividend safety score is a 0–10 rating derived from yield zone, payout ratio (when applicable), yield trend versus 5-year average, instrument type, and company size. Each factor is independently transparent — see the reasons above for exactly which factors contributed to COP's score.
