Verizon on Thursday said it expects to record a severance charge in the range of $1.7 billion to $1.9 billion in the third quarter as a result of a previously announced voluntary separation program.
Verizon Communications (VZ) reachead $43.75 at the closing of the latest trading day, reflecting a +0.23% change compared to its last close.
Verizon (VZ) has been one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com users lately. So, it is worth exploring what lies ahead for the stock.
Verizon recently delivered its 18th consecutive annual dividend increase. The telecom giant has been able to continue growing its dividend due to its improved free cash flow and balance sheet.
Verizon Communications Inc.'s focus on annual dividend hikes strains its balance sheet, adding $420 million in payouts over the lat two years. The $20 billion Frontier Communications acquisition increases Verizon's debt to $167 billion, with uncertain benefits and regulatory approval not expected until 2026. The market has signaled that blind dividend hikes are ineffective without growth or debt reduction, making Verizon a risky investment despite potential yield appeal.

A couple of things to mention.
Since my "Best Time in History to Buy Verizon" article last September, VZ has been up 35%, outperforming the S&P and Nasdaq. Verizon's 6.4% yield is very low risk, supported by a low payout ratio, strong balance sheet, and $49 billion in expected retained free cash flow through 2029. Verizon remains attractively valued, but it's 18% undervalued. It offers a 29% upside in the next year and 51% in the next 2.5 years, which would be 3.5 years.
A media report has it that the telecom is about to go shopping. It apparently has its eye on a business worth close to $10 billion.
