Gordon ReidVerizon CommunicationsVZSELL ON STRENGTHSep 17, 2024

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.

You might be interested:

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.
