## Resource

Episode 104 of Dividend Investing with Fexingo looks at Verizon's dividend resilience as Treasury yields drift lower in July 2026. Lucas and Luna dig into why the telecom giant's 5.8% yield remains attractive even with the Fed on hold, how Verizon's 90% payout ratio compares to other high-yield stocks like Altria, and what the market is actually pricing in. They also touch on the dividend ETF landscape, with VYM and SCHD showing steady gains, and ask whether income investors should look past payout ratios for regulated utilities and telecoms. A sharp, focused conversation for anyone building a dividend portfolio in a flat-rate environment. #Verizon #DividendInvesting #IncomeStocks #Yield #TelecomDividends #VYM #SCHD #DVY #PayoutRatio #DividendSafety #BondYields #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #InvestmentStrategy #CashFlow #PassiveIncome #DividendStocks Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
