This summary was created by AI, based on 6 opinions in the last 12 months.

Verizon Communications (VZ-N) has recently made headlines with the appointment of a new CEO, which has translated into a notable 18.6% increase in share prices over the past six months. Despite this positive momentum, there are mixed opinions on the stock's future performance, particularly in light of recent earnings reports which were said to be spectacular but may not be indicative of sustainable growth. Experts caution about external factors like the global memory chip shortage affecting revenues, with some suggesting it might be wise to take profits while still enjoying the healthy 6.7% dividend. There is a prevailing sentiment that VZ operates a steady, bond-like presence in the market; however, several experts point out a lack of growth potential, arguing that long-term investors should focus on growth rather than just income. Overall, VZ appears to be seen as a safe, income-generating investment, but one that might lack the excitement of significant upward mobility.

BUY

It has a new CEO and shares are moving up, 18.6% in the past 6 months.

PARTIAL SELL

Revenues last quarter were spectacular. Returns going forward may not be the same. Global memory chip shortage, as chips get redirected to AI. Consider taking profits, but don't sell it all (collect the healthy dividend).

DON'T BUY

Never buy a common stock purely for income. These are not bonds. Buy a common stock for growth, and added income is great. VZ is -5% the past months and will fall further.

DON'T BUY

Pays a 6.7% dividend, but lacks growth.

BUY

Has long owned this like a bond, for its steady, dependable dividend. Her compound annualized return is 7%. Has long owned it. Expects a boring report next week, no fireworks.

DON'T BUY

It acts like a bond. There's a lot of competition in telcos.

BUY

Verizon and AT&T have good yields and reporting better-than-expected earnings. Their businesses have little cyclicality.

DON'T BUY

It reports Friday. Some like its 7% dividend but he feels mixed about the risk/reward here. Doesn't have much faith.

DON'T BUY

He doesn't buy a stock purely for its yield, but it must show growth.

SELL ON STRENGTH

Finally above water.

Hasn't done much in 2024 relative to the market. General malaise with US and Canadian telecoms. Lots of people buy it for the dividend. Seasonally, not the right time. Will probably hang in here, meandering. Doesn't see big gains.

BUY

Likes it. The Frontier acquisitions was smart. The stock is cheap.

SELL ON STRENGTH

It's capital intensive and very company. So, it's a tough business and returns on investment are very low. He suggests selling on the current price spurt and sell.
