Is Verizon Stock Cheap, Or Just Done Growing?

Verizon Communications (VZ) trades at about 12 times earnings, against an S&P 500 median of 22.4. A discount that wide usually follows a collapse. Not here. The stock returned 14.1% over the past twelve months, behind the index's 17.9%, and management has raised parts of its 2026 guidance in two straight quarters. So is this a good business on sale or a fair price for a company that has stopped growing.
