Verizon separately disclosed changes to a $30 million executive stock award.

Viavi Solutions (VIAV) stock slides 8% as it unveils Verizon-linked AR tool — what’s next

NEW YORK, Jan 8, 2026, 15:08 EST — Regular session Viavi Solutions Inc shares fell about 8% to $17.03 in afternoon trading on Thursday, after touching a session low of $16.98. About 3.0 million shares had changed hands by 3:08 p.m. EST.

Reuters Earlier on Thursday, the company said it had integrated RF Viewer — an augmented reality tool that overlays data on a live video

Verizon stock near $40: payrolls report, dividend date and Jan. 30 earnings in focus

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 20:26 EST — Market closed. Verizon Communications Inc (VZ) shares fell 0.4% to $40.13 at Wednesday’s close and ticked up to $40.15 in late trading.

Yahoo Finance+1 The modest move leaves Verizon heading into the next session with one clear company catalyst: its fourth-quarter report on Jan. 30. Verizon said it will post results and give a business update on a webcast starting at 8 a.m. Eastern time. Verizon Macro could still do the heavy lifting first. The S&P 500 ended down

Verizon stock slides despite record Dow rally as dividend date, Jan. 30 earnings near

New York, January 5, 2026, 20:05 (EST) — Market closed Verizon Communications Inc shares ended Monday down 0.7% at $40.23, underperforming a broad Wall Street rally that lifted the Dow to a record high. Yahoo Finance+1 The move matters for Verizon holders because the telecom stock trades largely as an income play, with a quarterly dividend that implies an annualized yield of about 6.9% at Monday’s close. With the next dividend and the fourth-quarter report both on the near-term calendar, small shifts in rate expectations and risk appetite can move the stock at the margin.

Verizon stock slips below $40 as Wall Street rallies; dividend and Jan. 30 earnings in focus

New York, January 5, 2026, 14:39 EST — Regular session Verizon Communications Inc. shares fell about 1.3% to $39.99 in afternoon trading on Monday. The dip stands out because Verizon is widely owned as a defensive, income-oriented stock. In a risk-on session — when investors favor higher-risk assets — money can rotate away from dividend payers. Reuters The stock faces two near-term markers: Verizon’s Jan. 12 ex-dividend date and its Jan. 30 quarterly earnings report. Traders also have Friday’s U.S. monthly nonfarm payrolls report on the radar for clues on the path of interest rates. Verizon Wall Street’s main indexes

U.S. stock markets are closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day and reopen on Friday. Zacks The pause matters for Verizon because the stock is widely held for income and tends to trade with shifts in rate expectations. Investors are using the holiday break to reset positions ahead of a heavy early-January calendar. Verizon’s dividend yield — the annual payout relative to the share price — sits well above the broader market.

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 20:03 ET — Market closed Verizon Communications Inc. shares finished the year’s final trading session little changed on Wednesday, closing up 0.1% at $40.73 after trading between $40.67 and $40.96. Verizon’s investor relations site lists a fourth-quarter earnings webcast for Jan. 30 at 8:00 a.m. ET. The late-January report is the next major catalyst for a high-dividend stock that often tracks shifts in interest-rate expectations. Investors use the results to gauge whether Verizon can keep cash generation steady while U.S. wireless competition remains intense. Timing matters because the market will reopen on Friday after a
