Current trend

Shares of Verizon Communications Inc., one of the largest American telecommunications companies, are trading at 50.00.

Management continues to implement global projects aimed at increasing its investment appeal: thus, it announced the completion of the sale of subordinated bonds worth 2.25B euro and 600M pounds, in which several European organizations participated. As part of its cost-cutting program, the corporation is considering renegotiating the terms of its ten-year sponsorship deal with the National Football League (NFL), which is worth over 1.0B dollars. The contract provides for Verizon Communications Inc.’s exclusive right to serve as the NFL’s official 5G network partner, as well as the use of the league’s logo and brand in advertising campaigns for the entire term. Amid the need to reduce capital and operating expenses, management is attempting to determine a financially sound strategy to reduce debt and maintain margins, while the NFL insists on strict compliance, making any unilateral termination of the contract legally risky.

The quarterly financial report will be released at the end of April: revenue may increase from 33.8B dollars to 36.4B dollars, compared to 33.5B dollars last year, and earnings per share (EPS) are expected to decrease from 1.21 dollars to 1.09 dollars, compared to 1.19 dollars, respectively. The first indexed dividend payment is scheduled for May 1, and shareholders will receive 0.707 dollars per share, equivalent to a yield of 5.57% for the quarter, above the industry average of 3.77%.
