Published: July 16, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

My Diagonal Put options strategy delivered a 58% ROI in about three months, demonstrating the potential for outsized returns with active management. Verizon's financial position is solid, with steady EPS growth, debt reduction, and new growth drivers like the Frontier acquisition and AI Connect.

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.
