Verizon's stock is also slightly more attractive as a result of the service disruption. 10 stocks we like better than Verizon Communications › Over 1 million Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) customers lost cellphone service for several hours on Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026. The outage didn't just hurt the telecom giant's public image; it's also impacting Verizon financially. The company announced last week that it's offering a $20 credit to anyone who experienced problems. With this kind of bad news, you might think it's best for investors to stay away from Verizon for a while. I disagree. Here's why I just bought the stock despite Verizon's highly publicized outage. The bottom line is that Verizon's long-term growth prospects haven't changed. All the reasons to consider buying the stock before last week remain intact. Those reasons include the company's improving free cash flow and the likely growth coming by the end of the decade from the introduction of 6G wireless networks.
