Trump's Tariffs Got You Down? These Telecom Stocks Might Just Be Your Super Serum!

Avengers Assemble... Your Portfolio!

Alright folks Captain America here reporting for duty on the financial front. Seems like these 'tariffs' that President Trump announced on April 2nd have thrown the market into a bit of a tizzy. Stocks are doing a nosedive faster than Falcon trying to catch up to me on my morning jog. The S&P 500 has taken a beating and some folks are worried about a full blown recession. Now I'm no Tony Stark when it comes to finance but even I know that ain't good. As I always say "We have to be careful. The world is changing."

Verizon: Can You Hear Me Now? Good!

But fear not true believers! Bank of America traders have been doing their homework and they've pointed out some telecom stocks that might just be the shield your portfolio needs. First up we got Verizon. Now I know what you're thinking: 'Cap isn't that just phones?' Well yes but in this crazy mixed up world reliable communication is more important than ever. And Verizon's stock has been climbing faster than I can climb a Hydra base up over 10% this year! Plus they offer a dividend yield of 6.1%. That's more reliable than my moral compass! And with most analysts giving it a 'buy' rating it sounds like a pretty solid choice for uncertain times. Like I always say "I can do this all day."

SBAC: Reaching New Heights!

Next we have SBAC Communications a company that builds and maintains wireless infrastructure. Translation? They're the folks behind the towers that let you make those all important calls and download cat videos at lightning speed. Their stock is up over 12% this year even outperforming Verizon. Citizens analyst Greg Miller calls tower stocks a 'safe haven' and I gotta say I'm inclined to agree. In these trying times investing in something reliable like communication infrastructure makes sense. Their dividend isn't quite as high as Verizon's at 1.9% but most analysts are still optimistic about their potential. You know something is only untill people tell you it is? And people are very keen on SBAC.

Dividend Yields: Investing Like It's 1945!

Now I'm just a simple soldier but even I understand the appeal of a good dividend yield. It's like getting paid extra for doing nothing but holding onto the stock. Both Verizon and SBAC offer dividend yields giving investors a little extra cushion during these rocky times. It's like getting a pat on the back from your investment saying 'Hang in there Cap! We'll get through this together!'

Iron Man's Insight Cap's Caution

Of course I'm not telling you to go emptying your bank account into these stocks. Do your own research talk to a financial advisor and remember that even the best investments can have their ups and downs. But in a world where uncertainty reigns supreme these telecom stocks might just offer a little bit of stability. As Tony would say “Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk.” In this case you gotta research before you invest!
