Anyone else hearing whispers about Verizon being selected for the government contract to replace all fiber optic wires for nation wide airports. Secretary Duffy has praised Verizon’s swift installation of a fiber link between Newark and Philadelphia in addition they all but said during the last cabinet meeting that they will go with full fiber optic. In addition, Verizon already has the 15 yr contract from the Biden admin, so modifications to the original contract could be taking place with price adjustments... Anyone else hearing this ?

I really like a vertical spread spread of 45/50 strike April 25 expiration. net debt of $1.67 and a max profit of 199% so let's just call it 2-1. All the technicals look good for the bullish trend to continue. OBV looks good, MACD is positive. just made new 52 wk highs on 2X avg volume. it's still showing very bullish trend Fibonacci Resistance is in between the $46.16 -$46.38 so as long as it closes above that I'm in. Well I'm in already but I'll add more. Let's also not forget that it pays a dividend on top of all that. I'm very confident that the vertical spread i mentioned will end up getting me pretty close to the max profit. Thought I will roll them out for longer dated spraeds if this continues up. GL!

This is my favorite speculative stock and the only stock I'm unreasonably bullish in for the long term

i've been rocking with them since $12.

I used to be a Sr.Account Executive for one of the top 3 providers for more than a decade and I can tell you this company not only resolves issues for the end user but also resolves major issues for providers the ROI for and $T is insane like money is no object insane.

Also, having leaders not in the news and more behind the scene is a positive for stability and growth. I will be scaling my stake in this company but slowly due to macro.

i see this company reaching $300B Market Cap or $5K+ per share in the next 10 years.

This stock is heading back towards $40. Where is the value in telecoms? They all need to slim down and innovate.
