Verizon Communications (VZ-N) is undergoing a transformation from a traditional volume-based business model to one that emphasizes quality over quantity. With a new focus on cash flow, the company is returning significant capital to investors through buybacks, highlighted by its strong dividend yield of around 5.67%-6.7%. Recently, shares have been impacted by a 6.5% drop primarily due to a restructuring charge, which some may view as an opportunity to buy the stock at a discount. Despite recent positive trends such as a new CEO and impressive quarterly revenues, concerns loom regarding future growth due to external challenges like the global memory chip shortage. Experts suggest a cautious approach, balancing the collection of dividends with the consideration of profits, particularly in light of potential declines.

TOP PICK
4% dividend yield. Have dropped their price on internet access and are taking market share from the cable companies.
BUY
Very cheap. 7.8% dividend which should be safe.
DON'T BUY
Valuations look good, but prefers BCE.
DON'T BUY
Has been penalized along with the rest of the telecom sector. It is more financially sound than many. Better places to invest.
WAIT
Very solid company. Substantial earnings per share. Doesn't expect a move until the second half of the year.
TOP PICK
Strong balance sheet and steady growth. 16 X earnings.
BUY
A lot of cash. Buying competition at ten cents to the dollar.
BUY
Expects telcos have been shaken out and things are now turning positive. Was oversold. Prefers Verizon and/or Sprint Wireless.
BUY
Long term hold.
DON'T BUY
Not a fan. No big gains.
BUY
One of the largest wireless in US. 12 X earnings. Good company.
DON'T BUY
A lot of competition.
