Description
Lucas and Luna dig into Verizon's 5.6 percent weekly drop even as the broader market and many dividend stocks rallied. They explore how rising competition, spectrum costs, and heavy debt are weighing on the telecom giant, while utilities and REITs like Realty Income benefit from lower Treasury yields. With the 10-year at 4.38 percent and the yield curve flattening, they debate whether Verizon's 6.5 percent dividend yield is a value trap or a buying opportunity, using specific data from June 2026.
