Verizon: Narrow Margin Of Safety Per Graham P/E And Number

The article from Seeking Alpha discusses Verizon Communications Inc.'s financial health and investment potential through the lens of Benjamin Graham's investment criteria. It highlights that Verizon's stock, despite its high dividend yield of 7.1%, does not meet Graham's stringent standards for a margin of safety due to its high debt levels and a price-to-earnings ratio that exceeds Graham's recommended threshold. The analysis points out that while Verizon has a robust business model with significant free cash flow, its enterprise value to EBITDA ratio is higher than what would be considered safe by Graham's standards, suggesting limited growth prospects and potential risks due to its capital-intensive nature. The article concludes that while Verizon might be attractive for income-focused investors, it lacks the margin of safety that value investors like Graham would seek, primarily due to its financial leverage and market valuation.
