Verizon, AT&T Stock Share Price Winners

AT&T was up 2.86% to $40.33 a share and Verizon closed at $52.67 per share, up 3.44%. Lots of news about the two companies, including the fact that both AT&T and Verizon are in the running to buy Yahoo’s core Internet assets. Also in the news last week–but with more detrimental effects—was Viacom.
