LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 6, 2023 / The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Verizon Communications Inc.

SHAREHOLDER ACTION ALERT: The Schall Law Firm Announces it is Investigating Claims Against Verizon Communications Inc. and Encourages Investors with Losses In Excess of $500,000 to Contact the Firm

VZ's stock is currently yielding 7.7% annually, and the firm has a long history of returning value to its shareholders in the form of dividends. Our updated valuation using multi-stage dividend discount models and scenario analysis suggests a fair value of $39 per share on the high-end and $33 on the low-end. Based on our valuation and the latest developments around VZ's business, we believe that our previously established "buy" rating is still justified.
