📢 Income Warriors — look up!
$VZ just did it again — 22 straight years of dividend increases, keeping its payout streak alive while most growth tech melts down. Dividend still sitting ~6.5%+ yield with the hike to
$0.7075/qtr this year — safe and sustainable thanks to massive free cash flow.

Cash machine turned on: VZ generated an insane
$20B+ in free cash flow last year (up ~285%) and is guiding >
$21.5B in FCF for 2026.
That’s fuel for dividends + buybacks — including a fresh
$25B repurchase program with at least
$3B planned this year.
The new CEO isn’t playing — cost cuts + subscriber adds = real results: +616K net postpaid adds — best in years.
Meanwhile the stock trades like a discount telecom bond proxy at ~9–10x P/E, yet internet connectivity is the backbone of every AI dream
If you want cash NOW + slow, steady safety, this isn’t a “tech hype” bet — it’s capital allocation mastery.
