What happened
Reached its target in 62 days.
The thesis — published December 3, 2025
Verizon is mainly a steady, income-focused stock that looks like it may be starting to improve. Recent market signals and higher interest from big investors suggest buying has picked up after a rough patch. News that other big carriers are adjusting their strategies also lowers near-term regulatory worry, which can make large telecoms less risky to own.
Primary drivers
- Recent buy signals and price strength suggest the stock may be stabilizing.
- Greater interest and heavier trading imply big investors are adding positions.
- Policy changes by peer companies reduce immediate regulatory risk for carriers.
- A high dividend gives steady income while waiting for price improvement.
How it played out
VZ: target reached in 62 days
Lyra published VZ at $41.05 on 2025-12-03, with an expected gain of 11% and a target of $45.56. The thesis pointed to recent buy signals and price strength, heavier trading and greater institutional interest, lower near-term regulatory worry for large carriers, and the stock's high dividend.
