Verizon stock today: VZ slips as fresh SEC filings hit tape; rates and earnings loom
NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 2:26 PM ET — Regular session Verizon Communications Inc shares edged lower on Friday after a cluster of U.S. regulatory filings detailed year-end “phantom stock” transactions by senior executives. The stock was down 0.1% at $40.67 as of 2:26 p.m. ET, after trading between $40.32 and $40.90. The disclosures land as investors reset positions at the start of 2026, with interest-rate expectations back in focus. Verizon is widely held for its steady cash flows, making it one of the telecom names that can move with rates as investors compare dividend stocks with bond yields. Treasury
