Is VZ a buy? — what our data shows
Verizon is one of America's biggest phone and internet companies — it keeps millions of homes, businesses, and smartphones connected every day through its massive network of cables and wireless towers.
What our data shows
Our data on Verizon is focused on one thing: congressional activity. Six different U.S. lawmakers have filed paperwork reporting a trade in Verizon stock — names like Pete Sessions, Lloyd Smucker, and Jennifer McClellan among them. Worth knowing: these filings tell us a trade happened, but they don't tell us whether the lawmaker was buying or selling, so we can't read too much into the direction. We also tag Verizon under the 'power grid' theme, which makes sense — running a nationwide network of this scale is an enormous energy consumer, and anything happening in the power infrastructure space touches Verizon directly.
The takeaway
The congressional filings put Verizon on the radar, but the real thread worth following is how the power grid story develops — because Verizon's network ambitions live or die on reliable, affordable energy.
