Your Two Minute Earnings Preview for Verizon (VZ) Stock
Today’s quick video takes a closer look at Verizon (VZ) stock ahead of their earnings report. This telecom giant has been on a surprisingly volatile ride over the past few months as interest rate concerns have hit this high dividend payer. But with an imminent earnings report, investors will want to focus on fundamentals in the short term for clues about this stock’s path ahead.
Fortunately for investors, the stock finds itself in a solid industry rank position, including a rank in the top third overall. The company also has a strong history in earnings season, and this includes a streak of seven straight reports without a miss.
It isn’t all roses for VZ though, as the company has just a Zacks Rank #3 (hold), and a ‘C’ for its VGM score. Additionally, the stock has a negative Earnings ESP and a sluggish estimate trend, so not a great overall picture for this company, and especially when you add in the rate hike pressure and its impact on high dividend payers like Verizon.
