Why I believe Verizon is a good buy right now

Fundamentals

EPS: 4.22

P/E ratio: 10.43 — lower than the market value

PEG ratio: 2.17 — reasonable given the company’s financial stability

Price-to-sales ratio: 1.37

EV/EBITDA: 7.29 — healthy operating efficiency


Dividend profile

Dividend yield: 6.16%

ROE: 18.23%

ROIC: 8.44%


Financial health and efficiency

Operating margin: 21.54%

Sales yield: 73.11% 😍

Free cash flow yield: 9.17%

Price to free cash flow: 4.92

EV to EBITDA: 11.66

$VZ (-0,32 %) generates significant cash relative to its market value


Debt and risk

Debt to equity ratio: 1.51 🤐

Quick ratio: 0.46 and current ratio: 0.63 — these are low, but typical for this type of companies

Solvency ratio: 6.47% 🤐

Beta: 0.38 — low volatility

Alpha: 0 — neutral excess return


It’s appealing to long-term investors who prioritise cash flow and capital preservation. While its debt level is notable, the company’s constant revenue, high free cash flow, and attractive yield make it a strong candidate for a stable portfolio.


What are your thoughts on $VZ (-0,32 %) ?

I'm fully invested and will hold the stock for a longer period. It's fundamentally well-positioned and a solid dividend payer.

@Dividendenopi Totally agree. I'm curious to see how they handle debt over the next few quarters.

I exited last year. I don’t like the gigantic debt. Once 5G gets old, Verizon needs to invest again massively in 6G. They will have all the time such high debt level. In times of economic expansion it’s not worrisome, but what happens if we’ll get another financial crisis like 2008 or 2020? Therefore not taking such high risks, playing safe is for me a better option.

@Thoranos Fair. The debt is definitely something to watch, but I think Verizon’s cash flow gives them some flexibility to manage it over time.
6G will make use of the 5G infrastructure. No heavy investments are expected in that regard
