Verizon: Buy This Dip For Richer Dividend Yield
VZ remains a compelling Buy due to its increasingly richer dividend yields, thanks to the market's overreaction to the top-line FQ3'24 miss. The telecom's core wireless services segment continues to perform well, with stable gross margins and increasing ARPA, as myPlan grows in popularity. VZ's reiterated forward guidance and raised consensus estimates imply continued top and bottom-line expansion, with it supporting the safe dividend investment thesis.
Verizon: Rally Can Extend Further
Verizon's stock has shown bullish stabilization post-2023 trough, but still underperforms YTD compared to the S&P 500, suggesting potential gains through mean reversion strategies. Mixed earnings report: EPS beat estimates but declined YoY; revenue missed estimates; significant net income drop due to competitive pressures and operational reorganization. Strong wireless subscriber growth, yet high-interest rates impact equipment sales; 2025 guidance indicates increased capital spending and modest EBITDA and revenue growth.
