Verizon is slashing jobs to save its dividend — pair trade AT&T long against Ver
Created
Thesis
Verizon is clearly on the defensive — cutting thousands of jobs and handing stores to franchisees to protect its dividend, which signals underlying stress. Meanwhile AT&T just beat subscriber estimates, showing it's winning the wireless battle. With Verizon's earnings looming on July 24, this is the moment where the market will price in which carrier is actually growing versus which is in retreat. Rather than betting on the whole sector, the trade is to back the winner (AT&T) while betting against the loser (Verizon), which dampens broad market risk.
Strategy approach
Build a paired-trade strategy that goes long T and short VZ with equal dollar weighting on the D1 timeframe. Enter 1 day before VZ earnings (July 23 close). Exit 5 trading days after earnings or when the pair's spread mean-reverts by 2 standard deviations, whichever comes first. Size each leg at 50% of normal equity allocation to keep dollar neutrality.
