VZ Dividend Summary
Verizon Communications is one of the Big Three US wireless carriers. It still sells the network more than the price. Monthly wireless bills fund the dividend. Fios fiber adds a second stream, but wireless is the franchise. Verizon is a Dividend Achiever, an income name first and a slow grower second. It pays from free cash flow after funding the network. Debt is the price of that spectrum and fiber. A US wireless giant held for the payout.
