Payout risk check
OARK's last 12 distributions were fairly stable (consistency score 80/100).
Its share price moved -31.2% over the past year.
A 55.4% yield paired with a falling share price is the classic sign of NAV erosion: part of each distribution may be a return of your own capital rather than income the fund earned, and the share price can keep grinding lower even while the headline yield looks attractive.
