It’s been in the same price range for a long time and now that AT&T stock is download perhaps we can expect it to be even more stable. Thoughts?

A good growth momentum from the beginning of the year. I think the highest value of VZ stock was around 60 dollars. Can VZ go over it in the near future?

I know VZ has its issues as a company but is T-Mobile that much better of a performer on the stock market?

Verizon Could Soon Unveil Its Latest Growth Catalyst, and It's a Game Changer However, Verizon could soon be making things easier for consumers. According to the Wall Street Journal, Verizon has partnered with Netflix and Warner Bros. to offer a... — read more 

I can’t seem to provide an answer myself. AT&T is down 31% in the last 5 years and VZ is down 40% in the same period. I think the higher stock price shouldn’t fool us.

I know everybody and their aunt are excited about the "best daily performance in almost 15 years" for the stock, but this is nothing but a blip. Verizon is a badly managed company and I don't see this lasting. In fact, the price is already going back... — read more 

83% is impressive and nobody can deny it. Barring something unexpected happening, this should be a sure bet for anybody who is focused on dividends, rather than stock growth. I don't know any other telecom stock that comes close, other than AT&T... — read more 

Seeing what has happened to AT&T and seeing the decline that VZ has had from the beginning of the year I have to be honest and say that I’m truly scared about what could happen in a few quarters. Is there any method to this madness? What are the... — read more 

The stock already went down in 2022, and I think that the time of volatility is over, at least for the time being. The stock looks better than most of the competitors, especially AT&T and It' only a matter of time when the rise of value will start... — read more 

VZ's stock value has never surged significantly, and given the current uncertain market conditions, it is unlikely to do so. With the industry undergoing changes, concerns about the stability of the stock and the company's dividend policy arise. It... — read more 

Stock price in the $30 range is disappointing. Perhaps 5G wireless services will reignite earnings, but I'm not confident that the quarterly financial results will be good. What are your predictions?

Adding a little over 40k wireless postpaid phone subscribers is not enough to balance out the disappointing outlook. I had high hopes for this quarter but I guess my faith in Verizon and its management was once more displaced. I think it might be... — read more 

Zacks considers it a trending stock and based on their statistics it is one of the stocks that is most viewed. Is now the time to catch the potential growing trend and buy VZ or is the road of the stock towards regaining its value still uncertain?... — read more 

Is this signal enough to walk away from VZ, aside from the bad business results and the uncertainty about how 5G will turn out, or are there still investors who see this as an opportunity? Run for the hills or take our chances with VZ?

I blame the management for this stock performing so badly over the past year. Some are pessimistic and do not even believe that VZ may see $40 again. We'll see, but in any case the company needs radical changes.

Stiff competition, weakened economy... These are not good signs. Some predict that the price could drop to $25, that is, that VZ will continue tanking. To add a few more shares or wait? I need some help deciding.

That says a lot about how this company is run. I no longer think that now is a great opportunity to buy and hold. It is very likely that I will get out of this stock soon. The question remains, why is Hans still the CEO? As soon as he opens his... — read more 

Performance of VZ stock is very poor. The ultimate disappointment. I think that disappointment will last as long as the current leadership is at the top of the company. After Buffett sold shares, I wonder why I'm still holding on to them? Maybe we... — read more 

I don't take an expert to see that certain parts of VZ”s business are a thing of the past. Not something that is unexpected, especially given the fact that the companies in the telecom industry are going through huge changes and transformation (just... — read more 

This is an honest question. To be clear, VZ does look a little more stable than T but not that much that it would cost twice as much to buy.

Maybe someone has something to say about this.

I went back to 4G because it turned out that 5G not only has no advantage for me over 4G, but also works much worse. I know many will say I'm wrong, but I'm pretty skeptical of Verizon's 5G wireless investments. Any thoughts?

My question obviously goes to long-term investors. I have a long-term, dividend-based portfolio and was thinking of adding some Verizon shares to it. It looks like a nice, stable stock, but you know, a few other opinions won’t hurt.

It's been like that for years now. It has managed to consistently underperform analyst expectations over and over again. I held on for a while because of the dividend but I've finally given up hope that something positive will happen any time soon. I... — read more 

What’s a better buy right now, Verizon or AT&T? Just looking at the dividend, AT&T and it’s 6.8% is the obvious winner - but the question is for how long it’ll be able to maintain those numbers with its debt as high as it is and constantly growing... — read more
