The Qblue Global Equities Responsible Transition Fund Portfolio Manager | “A strong earnings report highlighting subscriber growth and robust 2026 guidance sparked a major re-rating of the stock. Strategic expansion through the Frontier acquisition is successfully transforming its profile into a diversified connectivity platform, supported by defensive qualities and high dividend yields.” | BULL | Q1 2026 Mar 31, 2026 | View Pitch |
Pelican Bay Capital Management Tyler Hardt, CFA | “We also exited our Verizon (VZ) position to free up cash for a new investment. We initially became concerned when Verizon announced the acquisition of Frontier Wireless and plans for extensive capital investment in their fiber network. Our original thesis was that capital expenditures (CAPEX) would decline, and earnings would rise above $5 per share as the company completed its 5G network deployment. The Frontier acquisition directly challenged this thesis. Our fears were confirmed in early April when Verizon announced a three-year rate freeze for all customers, including existing ones. This will significantly restrain average revenue per user (ARPU) growth and should drive EPS down to $4 per share. Combined with an additional $20 billion in debt from the Frontier deal, we decided it was time to sell our shares for $45. BSD Analysis: Verizon is a deep-value telecom oligopolist whose stock is a high-yield, high-cash-flow arbitrage opportunity. The core thesis is a massive 62.8% discount to its Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) intrinsic value of $109.20 per share. The company's business is structurally sound, generating $17.0 billion in trailing twelve-month Free Cash Flow. The current low P/E ratio of 8.63x is well below the telecom industry average of 16.16x, suggesting the market is significantly undervaluing its growth outlook and strong cash position. This is a defensive stock whose high dividend and robust cash generation provide a significant margin of safety, with the market likely to re-rate the stock as its 5G and broadband expansion continues.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jul 11, 2025 | View Pitch |
