The short version
In October 2025 Sven Carlin said there was nothing new to update on Verizon. In March 2026 they listed Verizon among risk-and-reward bets "for the dividend," and later that month called it an okay investment with market-like returns. In July 2026 they called Verizon an interest rate play with a 6% dividend and positive guidance, and estimated a 7% medium-risk return. In August 2026, with the price at 50 after being in the 30s, they lowered the expected return from 8% to 6% because the dividend yield had gone down. In October 2026 they pointed to a 6% yield but heavy debt, and placed it at high risk with a 7 to 8% return.

How to read this
Quotes are short excerpts from Sven Carlin's public YouTube videos, attributed to the speaker and linked to the timestamp. “Close that day” is VZ's split-adjusted closing price on the day the video was published (New York time); if markets were closed that day, the last close before it. If the stock has split since a quote, the card shows the price it traded at that day and, beneath it, the split-adjusted close the % change uses. “Since” compares that close with the latest close on 2026-10-28. It is a price observation, not the creator's realized return, and not investment advice. How the price change is calculated. Next to it we show SPY, the ETF tracking the S&P 500, over the same two dates — so a move can be read against the market rather than on its own: why we compare with SPY. Each quote also carries a label — Named as a pick, Risk acknowledged, Reducing — describing what kind of statement it was: see what the labels mean.
