How Verizon became the Dow's worst stock
CNN
Verizon reported earnings that topped forecasts Wednesday morning and issued a more upbeat outlook for 2022. That's some much-needed good news for the company, which has been the Dow's worst-performing stock this year, falling about 10%.
Overall, the Dow is up about 16% in 2021, making Verizon's underperformance really stand out. (Biotech Amgen (AMGN), another Dow component, is also down nearly 10% this year.)
Even though profits were better than expected and shares rose about 2% Wednesday, Verizon may still find it difficult to excite Wall Street much longer. Sales growth remains sluggish and the company's revenues grew just 4% from a year ago, missing estimates.

Boeing has had six years of production problems, safety issues, delivery delays and unhappy buyers of its aircraft. But President Donald Trump’s anger at the delays for the next generation of Air Force One jets could result in a huge blow to what remains of the company’s prestige and finances going forward.
