Verizon overview

Verizon Communications Inc., through its subsidiaries, engages in the provision of communications, technology, information, and streaming products and services to consumers, businesses, and governmental entities worldwide. It operates in two segments, Verizon Consumer Group (Consumer) and Verizon Business Group (Business). The Consumer segment provides wireless services across the wireless networks in the United States under the Verizon and TracFone brands and through wholesale and other arrangements; and fixed wireless access (FWA) broadband through its wireless networks, as well as related equipment and devices, such as smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and other wireless-enabled connected devices. The segment also offers wireline services in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States, as well as Washington D.C. through its fiber-optic network, Verizon Fios product portfolio, and a copper-based network. The Business segment provides wireless and wireline communications services and products, including FWA and wireline broadband, advanced communication services, corporate networking, security and managed network, local and long-distance voice, and network access services to deliver various IoT services and products to businesses, government customers, and wireless and wireline carriers in the United States and internationally. The company distributes its products and services through direct channels, company-operated stores, digital and omnichannel platforms, indirect agents, business solution resellers, and national retailers. The company was formerly known as Bell Atlantic Corporation and changed its name to Verizon Communications Inc. in June 2000. Verizon Communications Inc. was incorporated in 1983 and is headquartered in New York, New York.

Is it a good time to buy Verizon stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. However, this is not a recommendation. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

Verizon share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Verizon's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$37.1761 up to US$50.9142. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market ( average) beta is 1, while Verizon's is 0.224. This would suggest that Verizon's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

Verizon share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 57.63% of net profits

Recently Verizon has paid out, on average, around 57.63% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.97% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Verizon shareholders could enjoy a 5.97% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Verizon's case, that would currently equate to about 2.765 per share.

Verizon's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Verizon's most recent dividend payout was on 30 April 2026. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 April 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Verizon's shares ever split?

Verizon's shares were split on a 1000000:937889 basis on 1 July 2010. So if you had owned 937889 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1000000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Verizon shares - just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 6.2% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Verizon shares which in turn could have impacted Verizon's share price.

Frequently asked questions

• Is Verizon listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX)?

  No, Verizon is not listed on the ASX. It's traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the United States under the ticker symbol VZ. To buy Verizon shares from Australia, you'll need to use a broker that offers access to US markets.

• Can Australians earn dividends from Verizon shares?

  Yes. Verizon pays regular dividends to its shareholders, including those based in Australia. However, note that US dividend payments are usually subject to withholding tax, which may be reduced under the US–Australia tax treaty.

• How can I buy fractional shares of Verizon?

  Some online trading platforms let you buy fractional shares instead of full ones, which can make it easier to invest smaller amounts. Check with your chosen broker to see if they support fractional investing for US stocks.

• What fees apply when buying Verizon shares from Australia?

  Fees can vary between brokers, but you might encounter brokerage fees, foreign exchange costs and currency conversion charges when trading in US dollars. Always review the fee schedule before placing a trade.

• Do I need to pay currency conversion fees when investing in Verizon?

  Yes. Since Verizon shares are priced in US dollars, your Australian dollars will need to be converted. Most trading platforms automatically handle this, but they may charge a small conversion margin.

• What factors can influence Verizon's share price?

  Verizon’s share price can be affected by network performance, customer growth, competition in the telecommunications sector and broader market conditions. Economic data, interest rates and changes in tech trends can also influence its valuation.

• Can I use an Australian ETF to gain exposure to Verizon?

  Yes. Some US or global equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs) available on the ASX include Verizon in their holdings. If you prefer a diversified approach, investing through an ETF can give indirect exposure to Verizon’s performance.

• What’s the minimum amount needed to invest in Verizon from Australia?

  Minimum investment amounts depend on your broker and whether they support fractional shares. Many platforms have no minimum, while others might require a small initial deposit-often between AUD $1 and $500.

• How do I keep track of Verizon’s share performance?

  You can monitor Verizon’s price through your broker’s platform, financial news sites, or real-time market apps. Setting up price alerts or adding Verizon to a watchlist can help you stay informed.

• Is it safe to buy US shares through an Australian broker?

  Yes, provided you use a reputable, ASIC-regulated broker that offers international trading access. It’s also worth confirming whether client funds are held in segregated accounts for extra security.

• What percentage of Verizon is owned by insiders or institutions?

  Currently 0.051% of Verizon shares are held by insiders and 69.495% by institutions.
