Verizon (VZ) Stock Looks Reasonable After New Fiber Expansion News
Make better investment decisions with Simply Wall St's easy, visual tools that give you a competitive edge. Verizon Communications stock has quietly built a solid track record over the past three years, yet the current valuation checks point to a mixed picture rather than a clear bargain or obvious overvaluation. The share price has returned 72.7% over three years. This puts more weight on whether today's valuation still leaves enough room for attractive long term returns. On the upside, new partnerships and infrastructure investments in fiber and advanced connectivity can support expectations

The S&P 500 Yield Is the Lowest in History: 5 Members of the Legacy Index Yield 6% or More
Quick Read The S&P 500's combined dividend yield hit a record-low 1.04%, but five index members still deliver dividends of 6% or more, all rated Buy. General Mills (GIS) yields 6.9% at just 10x 2026 earnings, while Verizon (VZ) has raised its dividend for 20 consecutive years. Since 1926, dividends have contributed 32% of the S&P 500's total return, and payers have delivered more than double the returns of non-payers.

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

Verizon Communications, Inc. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon today announced a $25,000 reward program for information leading to the arrest and conviction of individuals involved in vandalism that have cut off thousands of Verizon customers from critical wireless and wireline communications services.

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.

How to read the score
It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean balanced news or that there is not enough evidence; the status label explains which.
Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.
Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.
It measures news already published. It is not a forecast, recommendation or price target.
