Can AI Infrastructure Drive Verizon's Next Long-Term Growth?

Verizon Communications Inc. VZ is positioning its fiber network and existing infrastructure for the growing demand for AI connectivity. The company recently signed a more than $1 billion agreement with Google. Per the deal, Google will use Verizon's dark-fiber routes to connect data centers. The rapid expansion of AI workloads is increasing the need for high-capacity, low-latency connections between data centers. Verizon, with its extensive long-haul and metro fiber network, is well suited to match these requirements. The company is also continuing to deploy fiber at scale. This supports Veriz

TDS Stock Down 20.2% in 3 Months as Fiber Growth Meets Fresh Risks

The stock's weakness comes even as TDS Telecom accelerates its fiber deployment and management raises its 2026 fiber service address target.

AT&T Barely Moves With The Market It Belongs To

Photo by Mohamed_hassan on Pixabay Five years of data say the stock has largely gone its own way, and what that is worth to a portfolio has nothing to do with the past week. AT&T (T) stock has risen 4.8% over the last five trading days while the S&P 500 slipped 0.1%, and a name that climbs in a flat market is hard to leave alone. What decides its worth to you is not next week's move but how much of its return is its own story rather than the index you already own. A Correlation Of 0.18 Says The Index Is Not Doing The Work Over the past five years AT&T's correlation to the S&P 500 has been 0.18

How Investors Are Reacting To Verizon (VZ) Amid Starlink Mobile Threat and New Funding Moves

In early August 2026, Verizon Communications completed US$3.75 billion of fixed-to-floating, callable junior subordinated notes due 2057 and 2059 and expanded its Verizon Family app through a new Fi Mini pet-tracking integration, while also addressing recent service-disrupting vandalism and supporting public safety operations. At the same time, investor attention has sharpened around mounting competitive pressure from SpaceX's planned Starlink Mobile offering, which aims to challenge Verizon's core wireless business model. We'll now examine how the prospect of Starlink Mobile's direct-to-cell

AT&T Yields 4.7% and Trades At 8 Times Earnings. Is the SpaceX Threat Really Worth That Discount?

AT&T (NYSE: T) appears to face a significant threat from Space Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX). COO Gwynne Shotwell announced that SpaceX's connectivity segment, Starlink, will compete with AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile as a full-fledged wireless carrier. Admittedly, such a move appears bleak for AT&T shareholders, since Starlink can cover the entire planet if the law allows, whereas AT&T can cover only the populated parts of the U.S. However, AT&T's 4.7% dividend yield stands out compared to SpaceX, which offers no dividend.
