Bond yields are racing higher as the U.S. Treasury and corporate issuers flood the market with new debt, and that shift is quietly rewriting the playbook for income investors. Cash-rich, high-dividend stocks in non-cyclical sectors can suddenly look more or less attractive depending on how they handle this funding squeeze. This article walks through 3 stocks exposed to these forces and shows where higher yields may help or hurt. The three stocks below are just a sample pulled from this idea,...

I'd buy Energy Transfer and Verizon stocks, and avoid Pfizer.

Corning stock’s AI story just got bigger with a multibillion-dollar fiber deal.

Samsara (IOT) trades near $40, about 88% of its 52-week high. Over the past year the stock has gone nowhere, up 1.3% against 17% for the S&P 500. The easy read is that the AI that analysts keep asking about is not showing up in the money. It is showing up. It arrives bolted to hardware, and paying upfront for more of that hardware as growth accelerates is why Samsara now expects a thinner cash margin and a fatter operating margin for fiscal 2027.

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) is sticking with its $0.7075 quarterly dividend per share, with the next payment due on November 2, 2026. There is no new increase this time, as the company has already raised the payout earlier this year. At $2.83 per share on an annualized basis, Verizon offers a dividend yield of about […]

Verizon Communications (VZ) trades near $48 a share and generated free cash worth 10.0% of its market value over the last twelve months. The median S&P 500 company manages 4.5%. A gap that wide usually means one of two things: a bargain, or a business the market expects to shrink. Verizon is neither, quite. The cash is real, and it is not all yours.

T-Mobile US (TMUS) stock fell 5.6% on 17 September to about $166, the lowest it has traded in a year. One session is not the problem: over the past twelve months the stock returned -28.5% while the S&P 500 returned 17.0%, and the year is what matters. A rising market did not do that. What changed is inside the business, and part of it is deliberate.

Comcast generates substantial free cash flow and pays a reliable dividend. Disney is hitting records across parks, streaming, and the box office.

Wall Street's quick math on T-Mobile's rate hike exposure produces a frightening number, but that number depends on a reading of the debt stack that the actual quarterly filing does not support.

Getting a new iPhone won't be cheap.

These three dividend stocks yield more than 5%, but strong cash flow, not just the payout, is what makes them worth owning now.

Verizon's share price has risen more than 25% since the beginning of 2026.

SpaceX’s vertically integrated strategy increases pressure on AST, which serves 60 carrier partners covering about three billion subscribers.

Verizon Communications (VZ) concluded the recent trading session at $48.33, signifying a -2.87% move from its prior day's close.

Earlier this month, Verizon expanded its 6G Innovation Forum by adding nine major partners, including AWS, Cisco, Intel, MediaTek, NVIDIA and others, and showcased ISAC-based crowd sensing, drone and vehicle tracking, and AI-powered fan experiences that use 5G Advanced and edge computing as a stepping stone toward future 6G capabilities. This broad, multi-partner push into 6G architectures and network-native sensing underscores how Verizon is working to position its network as a platform for...

Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL, XETRA:APC) higher iPhone prices are largely offset by carrier incentives, according to Bank of America, which reiterated its "buy" rating. The bank cited capital returns, expected leadership in AI at the edge, and opportunities from new products and markets. BofA...

Shares of the sneaker maker are trading around $36, the lowest by far for the 30 stocks in the price-weighted average.

Corning’s latest multibillion-dollar fiber agreement with Verizon adds another major customer commitment as AI infrastructure drives demand for optical connectivity.

U.S. wireless carrier promotions should provide a boost for Apple iPhone 18 Pro sales, a Wall Street analyst says. Apple stock rose slightly.

Payne Capital Management President & ‘Payne Points of Wealth’ Podcast Host Ryan Payne joins Yahoo Finance's Julie Hyman and Jake Conley to discuss Snap's (SNAP) new Specs. The group debates who the target buyer is and what the real-world use case is for Snap’s latest product.

Snap (NYSE:SNAP) is catching a bid Thursday morning after the company used a Los Angeles event to layer workplace software into its Specs augmented reality (AR) glasses. Snap stock is up 3% to $5.90, extending a modest bounce off recent lows for a name that has struggled to hold rallies in 2026. The move sits […]

Baby Boomers chasing income have learned the hard way that a double-digit yield can signal a collapsing business just as often as a generous payout. These five high-yield picks survive every red flag on the yield trap checklist, and the reasons why might surprise you.

Along with its stock, Verizon's telecommunications business is mature, with steady cash flows that support distributions.

AT&T (T) is up 4.4% over the last five trading days, while the S&P 500 is down 1.1%. Strength in a weak tape pulls money in. That five-day move is not the question. The question is what holding AT&T does to your money when the market moves, because over the past year it has tended to go the other way.

The recent outperformance of Verizon and AT&T is not the kind of leadership that typically accompanies a durable growth cycle. Both names posted mid-to high-single-digit gains over the past month, while many of the growthier, internet, and entertainment stocks that dominate the (XLC) have lagged or declined. Verizon is up 26% year to date, comfortably outperforming flashier sector peers like Alphabet up 10%, Meta Platforms up 2%, and Netflix down 17%.

Corning shares slid 14% on Monday following a $2 billion equity offering announcement.

T expands customer benefits with complimentary LifeMD memberships, offering virtual care, prescriptions and pharmacy services.
