Verizon Is A Buy Again (Rating Upgrade)
Last Friday, Verizon reported strong quarterly numbers powered by healthy user growth. Despite a massive debt load, Verizon's utility-like cash flow generation and undervaluation make it a solid buy, with a 5-year price target of $80.64 [expected CAGR return of 15.3%]. Given improving business trends, positive growth forecasts, balance sheet deleveraging, and attractive dividend yield, I am upgrading Verizon to a "Buy" rating.
