Better Buy: Verizon vs. AT&T
Depending on your investment goals, dividends may or may not be a huge factor in which stocks you purchase. Dividends can be powerful tools for investors, particularly for those approaching or in retirement, as they provide steady cash flow streams that may allow them to avoid selling stocks to raise cash at inopportune times.
When building an income-focused portfolio, you may be tempted to sort potential stock picks by their dividend yields. Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and AT (NYSE: T) will appear fairly high up on such filtered lists. But which of these high-yielding telecoms is the better buy now? Or should income investors keep shopping?
These businesses need no introduction, as they are two of the largest phone carriers in the U.S. Each also has a business and consumer internet segment. In the U.S., these areas aren't considered growth industries because they are fairly saturated markets.
