You don’t need to be a failing EV company to be among the F-rated stocks. Sometimes blue-chip names find themselves in a deep enough hole to earn an F-rating. Verizon (NYSE:VZ) is living that nightmare now.

The problem for Verizon is that it’s carrying too much debt. As of June, it had $157.3 billion in debt – a number growing from a year ago (when it was $151.2 billion.

Yes, Verizon has plenty of cash at more than $4 billion. But the debt, brought on heavy spending on wireless spectrum licenses for its 5G connections, makes the company vulnerable.

It’s no wonder that VZ stock is down 15% this year – a huge number for any blue-chip stock when the market is in the black. VZ earnings in the second quarter were down 3% from a year ago at $32.6 billion, and its profit margin and operating income also dropped.

VZ stock has an “F” rating in the Portfolio Grader.
