Verizon $Verizon(VZ)$ is on my watchlist and I maintain a bullish outlook on the stock. The telecom giant demonstrated wireless service sales growth in Q3, despite being burdened by significant debt. With a dividend yield exceeding 7% at the current price, Verizon's robust financial profile should sustain—and potentially increase—its payout. Multiple upside catalysts further enhance its appeal. I anticipate the company will meet or slightly exceed the market consensus EPS of $1.09, driven by its stable core business and cost efficiency efforts. $VZ 20250417 37.0 CALL$
