Verizon maintained its quarterly dividend at $0.7075 per share as of September 2026. The company has increased its dividend gradually for 20 consecutive years rather than pursuing aggressive growth. Free cash flow rose 16% in the first half of 2026, exceeding the 10% year-over-year inclusion threshold, while debt management and network investment remain factors in future dividend decisions.
