Several of our recent articles have profiled some Dividend Aristocrats which have been outperforming.
This article will focus on AT&T's rival, Verizon, (NYSE:VZ), which also has been outperforming the market over the past year, quarter and year to date. In fact, VZ also has outperformed AT&T so far in 2016, and is the top performing stock among the Dow 30 stocks in 2016, gaining over 9%. Although VZ doesn't have a high dividend growth rate, management has raised the dividend every year for the past nine years. The increase generally occurs in October. With its outperformance, VZ is only around 1% below its 52-week high, and is right around analysts' mean price target of $50.71.
