Verizon CommunicationsVZBUYMar 14, 2018Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Oct 23, 2026. Market Open.
Starlink is a bit of a red herring -- Elon is a promoter, and this is a long-dated opportunity (if it happens at all).
Stocks overreacted to the downside. About 80% of the 1-day fall was made up in 5-6 days. Produces significant cashflow. CEO is more of an entrepreneur. Great opportunity. Yield is almost 6%.
A changed company. Older business model was volume-based, now has a bit more of an entrepreneurial spirit and is a bit more growthy. Cutting back on getting the customer at any price to a higher-quality customer. New focus is turning up in cashflow. Returning a lot of cash to investors, lots of buybacks.
Defensive play. Yield is 5.67%.
This is an S&P100 company and he holds this in his own RRSP and would buy more right here. Internet net neutrality rulings could be something to watch going forward. He is getting frustrated with it as well. Yield 4.8%.
