Verizon Communications: The Business Model Is Broken

HOUSTON, March 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NRG stadium, home to football showdowns, basketball buzzer beaters and rodeo legends, recently received some major network enhancements from Verizon. Verizon engineers recently added 45 nodes (the equivalent of 15 full size cell sites) inside the stadium. These upgrades deliver 5G coverage using both Verizon's newly acquired C-band spectrum and its premium high-band mmWave spectrum. Additionally, Verizon deployed advanced performance control features, and upgraded coverage and performance in the outdoor parking lot in anticipation of major events this year.

2023 is flying by as two months are already in the books and that fact simply highlights to me the importance of staying invested in the stock market during the good times and bad. VZ stock is trading with a low forward PE of just over 8 and sports a very juicy yield getting close to 7% and a moderate payout ratio of around 51% making this dividend appear to be very safe going forward.
