Verizon Communications demonstrated impressive performance in Q4, exceeding both earnings and revenue estimates. This success has elicited a positive response from investors, leading to a soaring stock price and strong forecasts for 2026. Key highlights of the company's successful quarter include robust subscriber growth under their new CEO and a projected surge in margins. The company also announced a quarterly dividend of $0.7075 and a $25 billion share buyback. This is despite doubts raised about the safety of Verizon's attractive 7% dividend yield. Owing to the company's solid performance, its stock price saw an increase of 11.8%. Verizon is also expected to exceed its financial guidance for 2025 due to their impressive quarterly net additions, the highest since 2019. Despite a cut in target by Wells Fargo amidst a wireless sector reassessment, Verizon remains strong. Their success is also evident in the increased share purchases by major players like Winnow Wealth LLC, National Pension Service, AustralianSuper Pty Ltd, Federated Hermes Inc., and Great Lakes Advisors LLC.
