HOKA and UGG are strong brands that consumers recognize. DECK stock received management support through a share repurchase program. It bought 8 million shares, or over 5% of shares outstanding, in the first nine months of FY 2026.
Verizon Communications (VZ) added 11.83% to close near $44.50, a price not seen since last September. In Q4, revenue from wireless equipment grew by 45.7% Q/Q. To reward investors, it raised its dividend by 2.5% and plans to buy up to $25 billion in shares. For 2026, it expects to buy back $3 billion in shares at a minimum.
Charter Communications (CHTR) returned to the $200+ level, rising by 7.62% last Friday. The firm added 428,000 mobile lines in the fourth quarter. Revenue of $13.6 billion is -2.4% Y/Y. Capital expenditures will total around $11.4 billion.
In the quarter, Chater amended its long-term MVNO agreement with Verizon. This will support profitable growth for both firms.
Last year, Charter rolled out to 23 markets. In reality, its structure and partnership with Verizon are attractive.
