Free cash flows were $ 3.6 billion. When the dividend payment ratio is 64.2%, there is enough income to cover the dividend.
The company’s convergence strategy integrating its wireless and wired networks (including 5G and fiber optical networks) to create detailed communication solutions has proven successful.

The leadership runs from 2% to 3.5% adjusted EBITDA growth and free cash flow from $ 17.5 billion to $ 18.5 billion in 2025. This provides the right pillow to the sustainability of the dividend.
So for investors who want to earn passive income from high quality companies, Verizon now looks smart purchase.
Telecommunications Giant AT&T offers a solid 4.1% yield, which means $ 1.11 per year. Dividends also look good to cover with 68.1% of dividend payments, which means that the company also has flexibility to increase dividends in the coming years. AT&T expects to update the stock purchase in the second 2025. In the fiscal quarter, the $ 10 billion repurchase program, and at least $ 3 billion was completed by 2025. Fiscal end, and the rest was assigned to 2026 fiscal.
AT&T also increasingly focused on financial disciplines. From 2020 The company reduced its net debt by $ 32 billion. The first 2025 In the fiscal quarter, it was with net debt and adjusted EBITDA in a ratio of 2.63, less than 2.68 in 2024. At the end of the fiscal.

AT&T also has an exclusive fiber and wireless business, both of which are quite resistant to recession. The company currently operates the largest fiber network in the US and hopes that by 2025 In the middle of the 19th century it will reach 30 million fiber sites and by 2029-50 million. This development already promotes strong customer growth-only 261,000 fiber networks additions to the first quarter alone. In addition, the modernization of the company’s wireless network and the fixed development of wireless communication contributed to the increase in the number of 181,000 customers per quarter.
AT&T is also useful to combine its services by creating a more adhesive and more profitable relationship with customers. AT&T fiber and wireless services have 15% higher life time values than autonomous customers.
Income investors seeking defensive dividend growth, this transformed telecommunications player is now an attractive choice.
Abbvie also offers an impressive 3.52% income and the annual benefit is $ 6.56 per share. Increased dividends for 53 consecutive years (including ITS Abbott laboratories heritage), Abbvie sports the prestigious status of the dividend king.
When 2023 Abbvie lost patented protection due to its most popular immunological drugs Humira, and many investors were concerned with the sustainability of its dividend policy. However, the company has successfully reduced the excessive trust in Humira and continues to flourish even under the fear of patent rock.
Humira sales decreased more than expected, and a year decreased by 49.5% per year to $ 1.1 billion from 2025. Fiscal quarter. However, her new generation of immunological drugs, “Chapter” and “Rhinvoq”, show impressive results that combined $ 5.1 billion, which is a big 65% per year. The leadership is now hoping that these two drugs are up to 2027. Will be reduced by $ 31 billion and Humira’s highest sales exceeds $ 20.7 billion.
In addition to immunology, Abbvie has successfully varied in areas such as neuroscience, oncology and aesthetics. The company also focuses on strategic investment, including $ 350 million. These transactions will be arranged in Abbvie in several fast -growing places.
However, Abbvie has recently announced that the cost of procedural research and development (IPR and D) and phase has adversely affected her second -quarter earnings. Although this is a short -term challenge, offers can eventually be the main growth engines.
When Abbvie proves its ability to navigate the main patent rocks, growing dividends, I think the shares are worth considering in 2025.
