Is Verizon Communications stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Verizon Communications stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Verizon Communications's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Verizon Communications's P/E ratio
Verizon Communications's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, Verizon Communications shares trade at around 11x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Verizon Communications's PEG ratio
Verizon Communications's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.1863. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Verizon Communications's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Verizon Communications's EBITDA
Verizon Communications's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $48.8 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Verizon Communications's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Verizon Communications share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 58.79% of net profits
Recently Verizon Communications has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Verizon Communications shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Verizon Communications's case, that would currently equate to about $2.685 per share.
Verizon Communications'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 Communications's most recent dividend payout was on 30 April 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 April 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Verizon Communications's shares ever split?
Verizon Communications's shares were
split on a 1000000:93 basis on 1 July 2010
. So if you had owned 93 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1000000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Verizon Communications shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 100% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Verizon Communications shares which in turn could have impacted Verizon Communications's share price.
Verizon Communications share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Verizon Communications's shares have ranged in value from as little as $36.687 up to $47.36. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Verizon Communications's is 0.396. This would suggest that Verizon Communications's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
