  • Verizon (VZ) slips despite BT deal and analyst upside call
    July 7, 2026, 6:01 AM EDT. Verizon Communications (VZ) said it's entering a 50:50 joint venture with BT Group, pooling about $4 billion a year from international enterprise. The move follows recent spectrum buys, but shares have fallen 7.27% in the last 30 days and 13.47% over 90 days. Still, Verizon's 3-year total shareholder return is 43.95%. Analysts have a $50.50 target on the stock, above its last close at $42.07, suggesting potential upside. Verizon posted 1.83% revenue growth and has a 12.46% profit margin, with dividend payouts drawing investors. But revenue uncertainty and tough telecom competition remain concerns for the stock.
