Recap

Over the past three months, 5 congressional members have traded over $69,006.00 dollars worth of Verizon Communications stock, while the stock has decreased by 2.79% over the same timeframe.

The recent sell-side activity by congress could be a result of lost confidence in the company's stock due to the recent price decrease.

However, the sell-side activity is not overwhelming as only 66.67% of the total amount traded was purchase and 33.33% were sales. This makes it difficult to say if congress truly is bearish on Verizon Communications. This is why it's important to keep a balanced perspective and look at the company's performance holistically.

As always, investors should conduct their due diligence and consider other factors, such as a company's financials, analyst ratings, and broader market trends, before making any investment decisions.
