Screener FAQ
What is the safest high-yield dividend ETF?
Based on our DARS 0-10 scoring, LYB currently ranks first among high-yield safe ETFs with a 6.0/10 safety score and 4.66% yield. Other strong candidates: T, SPYD, SPG.
Which dividend stocks have the highest safety score?

What dividend stocks pay monthly?
Monthly payers include REITs (O, STAG, ADC, NNN), BDCs (MAIN, ARCC, OBDC, GAIN), mREITs (AGNC, NLY), and covered-call ETFs (JEPI, JEPQ, QYLD, XYLD, RYLD, SVOL). Monthly income makes cash flow planning simpler than quarterly payers.
How is dividend safety scored?
The Infnits DARS score is a 0–10 rating built from five factors: yield zone (very high yields carry elevated cut risk), payout ratio (lower is safer), yield trend versus the 5-year average, instrument type (ETFs have built-in diversification), and company/fund size. Scores of 8+ are Strong, 6.5–8 Solid, 5–6.5 Mixed, 3.5–5 Weak, and below 3.5 Risky. Every score shows its reasoning transparently on the ticker's safety page.
