NVDA NVIDIA Corporation
NVIDIA Corporation has a solid dividend profile with no major red flags in the snapshot data.
Why we rate it 7.1
- Low yield of 0.46% — typical of growth-tilted stocks
- Payout ratio of 4% leaves significant room to grow the dividend or absorb earnings dips
- Current yield is much higher than the 5-year average of 0.03% — usually means price has fallen sharply
- Mega-cap scale (>$200B) — market dominance reduces dividend pressure
Where NVDA ranks
We compute the same 0–10 safety score across 53 dividend-paying stocks and ETFs. Here's where NVDA 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 NVDA'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 NVDA 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 NVDA's 7.1/10 score is lower than you want, see NVDA alternatives — same-sector stocks ranked by how closely they match NVDA on both yield and safety, so you can see what a swap actually costs you.

Every Infnits dividend safety score is computed from the same factors (yield zone, payout ratio, trend vs 5-year average, instrument type, size). The history above is recomputed directly from each day's fundamentals snapshot, so the line reflects how the underlying signals actually moved — not retroactive smoothing.

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 NVDA's score.
