10 Stocks Expected To Post Impressive Earnings This Week

1. Verizon Communication (NYSE:VZ)

Verizon is a communications giant that has struggled to reward its shareholders in the last few years. The stock is currently trading below $40, a level that makes it quite an attractive investment.

VZ is aggressively expanding its Fixed Wireless segment. The segment is responsible for considerable subscriber growth as well as an uptick in sales per user. The telecom company intends to double its subscriber base by 2028, so the aggressive plans make sense. If the company can achieve that, it will have over 90 million connected households with 8 to 9 million subscribers. Investors will have their eyes on these numbers in the earnings report rather than the revenue and EPS.

The stock also has a 7% dividend yield that will keep attracting income investors despite the stock’s dismal performance in the recent past.

Verizon is not on our latest list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 57 hedge fund portfolios held VZ at the end of the third quarter which was 67 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the potential of VZ as a leading AI investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter timeframe. If you are looking for an AI stock that is as promising as VZ but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
