Verizon (VZ) Surged +11.83%: High-Yield Telecom Giant Tests Key Resistance, $47 Target in Sight
Latest Close Data
Closed at $44.52 on 2026-02-01, up +11.83% from previous close. The price is now ~6.0% away from its 52-week high of $47.35.
Core Market Drivers
The significant surge was driven by strong, broad-based institutional and retail capital inflow, as evidenced by the massive 1.24B share volume (4.48x ratio). A key supportive factor is the attractive 6.11% dividend yield, drawing income-focused investors in a potentially stabilizing rate environment.
Technical Analysis
The technical picture turned decisively bullish.
-
Volume exploded to 1.24B shares, confirming the breakout move.
-
The MACD (0.713) has crossed into positive territory with a strong bullish histogram, signaling powerful upward momentum.
-
The RSI-6 (91.13) is deeply in overbought territory, suggesting a near-term pullback is possible, but the high reading confirms intense buying pressure.
Key Price Levels
-
Primary Support: $40.80 (Previous resistance turned support).
-
Strong Resistance: $45.00 (Immediate technical and psychological barrier).
-
Immediate Pivot: $44.50 (Today's close; watch for consolidation or continuation).
Valuation Perspective
Trades at a Forward P/E of 9.31, slightly above its historical 2-year average of 9.04 but within one standard deviation. The P/S of 1.36 remains reasonable for the telecom sector, supported by stable cash flows.
Analyst Targets
Coverage from 23 analysts shows a Strong Buy/Buy consensus. The average price target is $47.64, implying ~7% upside from current levels, with a high target of $70.00.
Weekly Outlook
Expect consolidation near the $45 resistance after the explosive move. The primary range for the week is $42 - $46.
A decisive break above $45 could target the 52-week high at $47.35. A failure to hold $42 would signal a deeper retracement toward $40.80 support.
