collaboration with BMW Group and KDDI that embeds Verizon’s 5G and LTE networks as the connectivity layer in all new BMW Group vehicles sold in the United States. See our latest analysis for Verizon Communications. Despite the BMW and KDDI collaboration and other recent alliances with BT Group and Aduna, Verizon Communications’ share price has eased, with a 30 day share price return of 12.45% and a year to date gain of 3.95%, while the 3 year total shareholder return of 51.44% points to stronger longer term momentum. If you are interested in how connectivity and infrastructure themes play out beyond Verizon, it could be worth reviewing our screener of AI infrastructure related stocks. You can start with 52 AI infrastructure stocks. After a strong 3 year total shareholder return and a recent pullback, Verizon Communications sits at an interesting crossroads. Is most of the easy upside already reflected in the price, or does the current valuation still leave meaningful room ahead? AdvertisementMost Popular Narrative: 16.6% Undervalued Compared with Verizon Communications’ last close at $42.12, the most followed narrative pegs fair value at $50.50, which frames the current pullback in a different light.  Verizon, for instance, had been on my wish list for a very long time, but I kept putting it off due to conflicting reports about the company. At the time (2023), I was able to buy it for approximately $31. Eventually, I did purchase it this week (May 5, 2026) at $47.50 because the company is showing strong figures, including for the coming years. I bought a very small batch, 5 shares. And yes, the psychology of the stock market: if I buy, it drops! I'll wait and see for now, and if it drops further later, I'll just buy another small amount to maintain the average purchase price. This purchasing method has already saved me a lot of money over the past few years!  Read the complete narrative. The fair value hinges on a clear earnings path, paired with steady revenue assumptions and firm margins. Curious which levers matter most in this Verizon Communications narrative. Result: Fair Value of $50.50 (UNDERVALUED) Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts. However, Verizon Communications still faces risks, including weaker share price momentum in the past 30 and 90 days and potential pressure if earnings or margins soften. Find out about the key risks to this Verizon Communications narrative. Another View: Verizon Communications Through the P/E Lens The user narrative paints Verizon Communications as 16.6% undervalued at a fair value of $50.50, but the earnings multiple tells a more cautious story. At a P/E of 10.1x, Verizon trades richer than its direct peers at 8.7x, even though it sits well below the broader global telecom average of 17x. The fair ratio for Verizon is 14.3x, which is materially higher than today’s 10.1x. That gap suggests the market could move closer to that fair ratio over time, yet the premium to peers introduces valuation risk if sector sentiment cools.
