VZ lost 17.1% in March 2020 and ranks 5th in our list of best low-risk stocks to buy right now. The top hedge fund holder of this stock is D.E Shaw’s DE Shaw which had $439 million invested in the stock at the end of September. An insider recently purchased 18.839 shares at around $53 in February 2020. The stock is up 3% since then. Mott Capital mentioned VZ in its Q4 2019 investor letter:

“Verizon (VZ) rose by 1.7% in the fourth quarter and by 9.2% for the year. Verizon is another company that should benefit as wireless subscribers upgrade their data plans from 4G to 5G. Additionally, the roll-out of 5G and the technology changes that it is likely to usher in will make having wireless data connections in the future more important than today. Again, Verizon appears to be a critical player in 5G and will continue to hold a place in the portfolio.”
