PG The Procter & Gamble Company
The Procter & Gamble Company has a solid dividend profile with no major red flags in the snapshot data.
Why we rate it 7.5
- Yield of 2.73% is in the typical sustainable zone (2-4%)
- Payout ratio of 64% is on the higher side — leaves less buffer for earnings volatility
- Current yield is in line with the 5-year average of 2.50%
- Mega-cap scale (>$200B) — market dominance reduces dividend pressure

The two questions a safety score doesn't answer
A safety score tells you how durable PG'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 PG 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 PG's 7.5/10 score is lower than you want, see PG alternatives — same-sector stocks ranked by how closely they match PG 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.
