AT&T, Verizon and Pfizer trade below $50 as dividend yields near 6%
The three NYSE dividend payers offer yields ranging from 4.4% at AT&T to 6.2% at Pfizer, with Verizon having increased its payout for 20 straight years.
Yahoo Finance highlights AT&T, Verizon Communications and Pfizer as dividend stocks that trade below $50 per share, positioning them as candidates for investors seeking meaningful stakes for less than $1,000.
According to the outlet, AT&T’s yield is 4.4% and Verizon’s is 5.8%, while Pfizer screens at a 6.2% yield at about $28 per share. The article also notes Verizon has raised its payout for 20 consecutive years.
The piece adds that a $3,000 spread across the three names would generate roughly $160 to $165 in annual passive income at a blended 5.5% yield, and it emphasizes that dividend coverage and cash flow matter more than share price alone.
Yahoo Finance also points to operating results in its profile of AT&T, citing service revenue growth of 5.1% in Q2 2026 and a 20.3% increase in operating income to $7.34 billion, alongside expansion to 38.6 million fiber locations with a target of 40 million by the end of the year.
