Verizon: Why I'd Rather Own This 5.6% Yield Than High-Yield Bonds
Verizon Communications Inc. offers a 5.61% qualified dividend yield, backed by 20 years of consecutive increases and robust free cash flow growth. VZ delivered record adjusted EBITDA, 24.4% YoY FCF growth, and raised 2026 guidance for EPS and FCF, signaling operational and financial momentum. The shift away from subsidized handset promotions is structurally improving margins, while new AI infrastructure deals and cost programs drive future cash flow.

Docusign remains a critical enterprise utility, rebounding post-Q2 with better-than-expected growth and strong operating margins.

AT&T: From Contained Downside To Unpriced Upside
AT&T is upgraded to Strong Buy, reflecting improved FCF guidance, pricing power, and earnings acceleration. T now guides FCF to ~$18B for 2026, with coverage and dividend growth prospects improving and buybacks set to retire ~5.5% of shares. Wireless ARPU and net adds are both rising, supporting a growth thesis with pricing power and a robust EBITDA trajectory through 2028.
Adyen: Fairly Valued On FCF, But Don't Ignore The Cash
Adyen N.V. remains a 'Buy' as its large cash reserves and healthy balance sheet support both organic and acquisitive growth. ADYEY reported 19% net revenue growth and 17% non-interest revenue growth in H1/26, with management guiding for >20% revenue growth in 2026. Recent acquisitions (Talon.One, Orb) and the launch of Adyen Agentic enhance ADYEY's growth prospects and strategic positioning.
MTY Food Group: 5 Reasons Why Mr. Market Is Wrong On This Canadian Restaurant Operator
MTY Food Group trades at just 6x FCF, offering a 16% FCF yield and deep value for a historically cash-generative, diversified, asset-light franchisor. Cold Stone Creamery and Wetzel's Pretzels alone are conservatively worth nearly MTY's entire market cap, highlighting significant undervaluation. Despite declining same-store sales, MTY's FCF/share, dividends, and buyback potential remain robust, with most brands performing steadily except Papa Murphy's.
Cerebras: Can It Challenge The Data Center Chip Market?
Cerebras' wafer-scale ASICs deliver industry-leading memory bandwidth and output speeds, positioning it to capture rising AI inference demand despite GPU dominance in training. The OpenAI deal, valued at over $20 billion, is expected to drive rapid revenue growth but creates significant customer concentration and requires heavy upfront capex. Near-term FCF margins will likely remain negative due to data center expansion, with positive FCF margins forecasted only by 2029 as scale and margins improve.
Chord Energy: Q2 Strengthens The Buyback And FCF-Per-Share Thesis
Chord Energy demonstrates disciplined capital allocation, prioritizing free cash flow per share through operational efficiency, aggressive buybacks, and a clean balance sheet. Q2 results validate the thesis: FCF exceeded expectations, oil production hit guidance highs, and share count fell meaningfully, driving per-share value growth. Management commits to returning at least 75% of adjusted FCF to shareholders from Q3, primarily via buybacks, while maintaining a $1.30 quarterly base dividend.
Central Garden & Pet Company: The 10% FCF Yield PE Arbitrage Nobody's Pricing In

Magnera Corporation: Executing But Abandoned

MAGN trades at 5.5x FY26E EBITDA versus peers at 9x, with a ~20% FCF yield, highlighting a significant valuation disconnect.
