DON'T BUY

Not a big proponent of company. Company has lost business to other companies in sector. Company not paying as much dividend as others in sector. Dividend payments have drained capital spending ability.

WEAK BUY

It's a bond proxy. Has small earnings growth and dividend, but they are there. It's a super-long-term hold for 10 years that she's happy to hold for the income.

telephone utilities

DON'T BUY

Really disappointing in a year when Verizon should be working. Trading at low 8x earnings with a 6% dividend. Expected 5G to help this more. She keeps waiting but hasn't added to it.

HOLD

For a retired income investor? Attractive for income. PE below 10x, high dividend. If you're an income investor, be cautious about jumping in and out. You can't collect the dividend if you're not there. Best for an RRSP, as there's no withholding tax. If you can't put it in your RRSP, look to Canada for pipelines, BCE, or GWO.

DON'T BUY

It's stuck in the mud. People want T-Mobile. VZ raised their prices.

BUY

It reports Friday. The last quarter was widely panned, but Verizon offers value.

telephone utilities

BUY

It beat revenues and met earnings today, but shares are falling today. Trades at an 11x PE. Revenues will grow at 9%. Really likes it. Now is the time to buy. Market sentiment today is to blame.

TOP PICK

It's been struggling. If it returns to $48, it would buy even more. He models $59, or 12% upside. It pays a 4.78% dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $59.91)

telephone utilities

BUY

Outsized dividend. With rising rates, it loses some of its appeal, as other offerings will compete. As a core holding, it has long-term legs in the telecom market. No problems owning it.

telephone utilities

DON'T BUY

Broadly speaking, USA companies not as good investment as Canadian competitors. Divided strong that should increase. Does not see growth in USA telecom space. Rising interest rates will be hard for dividend stocks.

telephone utilities

BUY

Kinda boring, a good, long-term stock. Pays a 4.8% dividend, trading at 8x earnings which should grow around 3-5%. It doesn't matter what happens to interest rates or Russia. Verizon will be fine.

telephone utilities

DON'T BUY

It pays a large dividend, so it's attractive to dividend investors. However, the share price has tumbled recently which cancels that out. VZ has some legs in terms of capital, because they're involved in the 5G roll-out, but competition will eat into margins, namely AT&T but they cut their own dividend. In this environment, he passes on dividend payers and buys share-price growers instead.

telephone utilities

DON'T BUY

They report Wednesday. He wants to know about new subscriptions. He still won't buy it--just because the stock may have bottomed, doesn't mean it's worth buying. Buy if it goes higher and he doesn't see a catalyst here.
