Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ-N) has faced mixed reviews from experts as it prepares to report earnings. The company has been recognized for its attractive 7% dividend yield, which draws interest from many investors. However, concerns have been raised regarding its growth prospects, as several analysts express skepticism about its potential for significant gains in the near future. The capital-intensive nature of its business and overall malaise within the telecom sector contribute to a cautious outlook. While some believe the stock is undervalued, others suggest selling on price surges due to weak recent performance, evidenced by a 4.67% drop following its latest report revealing weaker results across the board. Social media mentions have surged, but this does not seem to translate into robust investor confidence.

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.

SELL ON STRENGTH

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.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 25/23, Up 7%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with VZ is progressing well.  To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $36) to $39 at this time.  

BUY
Secure US yield play.

Yield is around 6.5%, typically lower beta. Were having a rough time, but recently moved above the 200-day MA. A lot of this is due to stabilizing interest rates.

PARTIAL BUY

Recent share price has been strong due to overselling after the pandemic. Lots of debt a concern for investors. Could be a good time for investors. Good treasury management has resulting in good debt load execution. Telecom demand not going away, however investors must weight against other options in the market. 

WEAK BUY

Telecom sector's had a bounce, along with infrastructure. He's very keen on infrastructure. Likes it better than BCE, as US companies have a bit more in terms of growth possibilities. Not a bad decision to own it. US telco playing field is more competitive than Canada's.
