Verizon: The Risk-Reward Just Got Interesting
Published: July 09, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
I rate Verizon Communications Inc. a Strong Buy due to its stable fundamentals, consistent revenue growth, and attractive undervaluation relative to sector peers. Verizon offers a 6.2% dividend yield, with 20 consecutive years of dividend increases, making it an appealing option for long-term income investors. Risks include high debt and market share pressures, but I believe Verizon's utility-like stability and dividend profile justify a strong buy rating.

July Dog Of The Dow's 'Safer' Buy: Verizon
Published: July 02, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
Verizon is the only Dow stock currently meeting the "dogcatcher" ideal: annual dividends from $1K invested exceed its single share price and are supported by free cash flow. Most Dow stocks are overpriced relative to their dividends, but market volatility could create more fair-priced buying opportunities as yields rise or prices fall. Analyst forecasts suggest top Dow Dogs could deliver average net gains of 23.33% by July 2026, but caution is warranted due to the historical inaccuracy of such projections.

New June Fortune 500 Industry Leaders Show 3 Ideal "Safer" Dividend Buys
Published: June 20, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive
Three Fortune 500 Industry Leaders—Energy Transfer, Verizon, and World Kinect—currently meet the 'dogcatcher' ideal of fair price and safer dividends. Analyst targets project 21% to 50% net gains for the top ten F500IL dividend dogs by June 2026, with average gains of 28.8%. Most top-yielding F500IL stocks remain overpriced, but a 60% market correction or dividend increases could make all ten fairly priced for income investors. Twelve F500IL stocks have negative free cash flow margins, making them unsafe for dividends; focus on the three 'safer' fair-priced options for now.
