VZ
Published: August 10, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha

Verizon offers a strong, reliable dividend yield with nearly 20 years of consecutive increases and utility-like, predictable cash flow.

Verizon: Underwhelming Guide Up
VZ
Published: July 28, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

Verizon's Q2 results beat low expectations, but growth targets remain weak, with only a slight EPS guidance increase to 1-3%. The wireless giant boosted free cash flow guidance, but this is largely due to tax legislation, not improving core financials, and offering no long-term benefit. The pending $20B Frontier acquisition brings high debt and ongoing losses, with no EPS accretion expected until 2027, adding risk and distraction.
