Verizon Communications Inc. shares rose 1.2% on the NYSE after Citigroup upgraded its price target to $55, citing confidence in the telecom giant’s growth, wireless subscriber growth, and network investments. The stock offers a defensive play with a high dividend yield, appealing to DACH investors seeking stability in a sector facing regulatory pressures and slower growth in Europe. With robust fundamentals, consistent cash flows, and strategic initiatives in 5G and enterprise services, Verizon maintains a favorable position despite competitive pressures and high debt levels from spectrum auctions.
