Verizon needs 4,241 shares for $1,000 a month in dividends, about $43K cheaper than AT&T

Earning $1,000 a month in dividends takes 4,241 shares of Verizon, 9,091 of Comcast or 10,811 of AT&T, according to a TIKR analysis. At today's prices, that costs about $197,600 for Verizon, $227,500 for Comcast and $240,700 for AT&T. Verizon yields 6.1%, against 5.3% for Comcast and 5.0% for AT&T. It pays out 52% of its free cash flow in dividends, the most of the three, but that cash is growing. Free cash flow rose from $14.1 billion in fiscal 2022 to $20.1 billion in fiscal 2025. Comcast pays out 24% of its free cash flow, but its planned split into two companies by the middle of next year leaves future dividends unsettled. AT&T pays out 44% and plans to hold its dividend flat at $1.11 a share.

Amazon, Comcast and Netflix: three Nasdaq-100 stocks to buy in November

Motley Fool columnist Rick Munarriz named Amazon, Comcast, and Netflix as top Nasdaq-100 stocks to buy in November, citing different strengths in each. Amazon shares are up 17% in 2026. Third-quarter sales rose 12.1%, held back by the timing of Prime Day, while Amazon Web Services sales jumped 39%. Operating margin hit a record 13.9%, and the stock trades at 25 times next year's projected earnings. Comcast trades at under eight times trailing earnings and pays a 5.4% dividend yield. Its cable customer base keeps shrinking, but Munarriz points to its film studio, animation franchises, and theme parks, which it plans to spin off next year. Netflix is 53% below its June 2025 peak, yet has more than 300 million paying subscribers. It trades at 18 times trailing earnings.

Comcast beats General Mills as high-yield pick: 24% vs 85% of free cash flow paid out

Comcast is the better high-yield dividend stock than General Mills, according to a TIKR analysis of the two payers. General Mills yields 7.0% and Comcast 5.4%, and both held their quarterly dividends flat at $0.61 and $0.33 a share. General Mills' dividend took 85% of its free cash flow over the 12 months to August 30, 2026. Management plans to hold the rate while it cuts debt, which stands at 3.7 times EBITDA against a 3x target. Comcast's dividend took 24% of its $19.66 billion free cash flow over the 12 months to September 30, 2026. Analysts expect that to reach 36% this year as cash flow falls to $13.6 billion. Comcast plans to spin off NBCUniversal by the middle of next year. It has not said what either company will pay afterwards.

Disney over Comcast for 2027: $94.4B revenue and lower debt versus Comcast's break-up risk

Comcast and Walt Disney both face big changes, and a Motley Fool writer favours Disney as the safer buy for 2027. Comcast's fiscal 2025 revenue was flat at $123.7 billion, with net income of $20 billion and free cash flow of $19.2 billion. Disney's revenue rose 3.4% to $94.4 billion, with net income of $12.4 billion and free cash flow of $10.1 billion. Comcast trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 6.7x, against 14.8x for Disney. But Comcast plans to split its entertainment and technology businesses in 2027 and has paused share buybacks. Disney has a new chief executive, Josh D'Amaro. Its next earnings report is due November 17.
