The value of your investments may go up or down. Your capital is at risk. It's been a while since I looked into Verizon, and since a few things happened in that time, here is an update. Probably the most important thing that happened has been rate cuts. This is very good news given the company’s debt and the fact that they are a dividend payer, but more on that in a bit. I also address Verizon's debt, dividend sustainability, profitability, potential buybacks and more before going through a valuation. After a huge investment cycle in 5G and the C-Band auction for it, they can make around $14 billion today. But, if you look at the interest, that basically doubled, even if the debt is up only like 15%. When interest rates get back to near zero, that can be an additional roughly $3 billion plus any potential from repayments. So, let’s say $16.5 billion, placing this at a price to free cash flow ratio of around 11. That’s pretty much normal for them in the past decade. The dividend, which is probably the main attraction to this kind of company, is currently at around 6%, costing Verizon around $11.4 billion. That, even for the currently lower cash flow, is pretty sustainable, but if they want to, they can even increase it when the rates are cut. But, I think the optimal thing they can do is focus on repaying the debt. For one, that would increase the cash flow as the interest would decrease, and they can snowball the repayments and also increase the dividend at the same time. And two, it would improve the market’s perception. The debt is obviously a reason of concern for the market, but it also goes into valuations. Plus, you have pension funds and other funds - which are probably the main investor in this type of company - that have limitations because of the level of debt, credit rating and so on.
