Verizon Communications (VZ) has long been a go-to dividend stock for income investors due to its consistent dividend, industry-leading network, and scale in the U.S. telecom market. It offers wireless, broadband, and other communication services to individuals, businesses, and the government. The wireless giant has a high dividend yield of 6.1%, a ,long dividend history, and a clearer picture of cash generation now that the 5G buildout is maturing.
At the same time, the company operates in a saturated U.S. wireless market where adding phone subscribers has become increasingly difficult. As a result, the question arises: Is Verizon stock still a buy for income investors in 2025?
