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.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Sep 7/10, Up 24.36%) Got out because he had too much exposure to telecom area. He should have held onto it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 07/10. Up 24.81%.) Sold his holdings mid-March.

DON'T BUY

Good dividend stock but he would rather focus on Canadian telcos at this time. If you buy US companies (outside of an RRSP), you don't get to keep a lot of the dividend so Canadian telcos make a lot more sense.

DON'T BUY

New CEO today. You are better off to buy VOD-O who own 45% of VZ. Value of VZ is not reflected in VOD. Should be a big bump over the next year for VOD. He owns VOD.

DON'T BUY

He would go with A T & T (T-N). Would be careful with this one. Trading at about 16X earnings. Has run up very recently on the hype of the iPhone. Apple charges them $625 per phone, which they have to that make back on their plans.

WEAK BUY

Good dividend. A lot of the cash flow goes to capital expenditures. Likes it but a slow grower.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Chart shows a nice upward trend and it just broke out of a long-term resistance, which is very important. Seasonally telecommunication sector does very well until the end of January. If you’ve got it, hang in there and Buy on weakness.

COMMENT

Verizon or Cisco (CSCO-Q)? He would choose Cisco as you can make some money off this at these levels. Verizon has a very good yield. Spent a lot of money in CapX, which has been paying off.

BUY

Almost a pure wireless business now and looks pretty good.

HOLD

Telecom sector is a good spot to be in. It’s in the top 5 in the US. Broke through its Dec/09 hi end of it breaks through the Dec/08 high of about $33 and then it wouldn't have any resistance. At top range of the RSI and looks overbought but could still go higher. 6% yield. Stoploss of $28-$29.

BUY

Verizon (VZ-N) and AT&T (T-N) are major telecoms. Yield in excess of 6%, which is attractive in an environment where a 10-year bond is 2.75%. Could be a trap where you go for yield but capital depreciates. Doesn't think this is the case. Great cash flow, which they pay in dividends but also build out networks. The drag is their wire line business.

TOP PICK

Likes it because of the wireless division and their fiber-to-the-home business. Almost 6.5% dividend. This is more than Canadian telecoms so he thinks this will bring the stock price up.

COMMENT

Fundamentally it has shown consistent growth. Everybody loves wireless. Chart shows it has formed a trading range and it is currently testing the top of it. If you are holding up her dividends, continue.

COMMENT

$30 is pretty close to its all-time highs but it could go to $26 before it got to $35. As far as US telecom stocks go, it is not a bad long-term play.

DON'T BUY

Difficulty with large telecoms generally is that they are tied to their wire line legacy business. As that drags them down, wireless builds them up so it is a bit of a wash. Spending huge amounts of money on capital spending in the wireless area. Huge dividend but growth is stagnant.
