Verizon, others could benefit as changes approach, Barron’s

On Tuesday, legislators from the two parties agreed on a tax proposal with several business-focused provisions. They could spur greater investment spending, but also amount to a corporate windfall, Nicholas Jasinski writes in this week’s edition of Barron’s.

Those include Verizon Communications (VZ), Intel (INTC) , EOG Resources (EOG), and Carnival (CCL).
