Verizon upgraded to buy on strong postpaid growth, cash flow, and dividend potential.

Verizon was upgraded to a buy due to record postpaid phone additions, rising free cash flow, and improved earnings guidance. The company reported 406,000 net postpaid phone adds in Q3, 8% adjusted EBITDA growth, and $7.8 billion in free cash flow, supporting its 6.3% dividend yield with room for modest growth. While risks include high leverage from the Frontier acquisition and emerging satellite competition, Verizon's discounted valuation and share buybacks provide a solid investment floor.

Following Verizon's upgrade to buy on strong subscriber growth and cash flow, the stock trades at USD 43.33 on Pluang as of Oct 27, 2026 21:42 WIB, up 0.52% for the day. The dividend yield stands at a robust 6.57%, slightly above the article's 6.3%, while the market cap is $178.65 billion. Pluang investors show strong confidence with 96% of order activity on the buy side, reflecting interest in Verizon's value proposition.
