If you believe VZ’s low-growth, high-leverage profile will improve enough to justify a higher multiple, then a valuation-driven long case is reasonable because VZ trades far below both MSFT-implied and DCF values; otherwise, relative valuation still favors MSFT because the profitability and growth gap is too wide.
VZ’s current price of $46.81 sits below its historical band and far below MSFT-implied price of $109.39, implying 133.7% upside only if it were re-rated toward MSFT-like multiples. The market is valuing VZ much more cheaply on P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue, but that gap reflects VZ’s lower growth and profitability profile.
