Verizon Stock (VZ) News Today: Frontier Deal Approvals, 5G Tower Partnership, Dividend Outlook and 2026 Catalysts (Dec. 21, 2025)
Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) heads into the final full trading week of 2025 with investors focused on two big themes: the march toward closing its Frontier Communications acquisition and the company’s push to keep network investment efficient while protecting cash flow. With U.S. markets closed on Sunday, December 21, 2025, the most recent trading print reflects Friday’s session, when VZ was around $39.82. That price level keeps Verizon in familiar territory for late 2025: a high-dividend, value-leaning telecom stock that tends to move more on deal progress, competitive dynamics, and cash-flow confidence than on headline-grabbing product launches.
