SHEL
Shell plc
stock NYSE ADR

With about $110k invested and roughly $9k in projected income, the real question isn’t yield. It’s durability.
I ran a quick screen for larger companies that are consistently profitable, generating real free cash flow, and not stretched on debt. That narrowed the field quickly. Names like MO, PFE, EQNR, SHEL, and TROW surfaced.
Those are operating businesses with cash backing the dividend.
A significant portion of the current income is coming from options-based ETFs, where distributions depend more on volatility and structure than underlying earnings. That’s a different risk profile.
If the objective is a survival floor during a prolonged layoff, durability likely matters more than yield velocity.
Happy to share the full screen results if useful.
