The firm serves about 93 million postpaid and 20 million prepaid phone customers via its nationwide network, making it the largest US wireless carrier. Fixed-line telecom operations include local networks in the Northeast, which reach about 30 million homes and businesses, including about 20 million with the Fios fiber optic network.

What the Analysts think about Verizon

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Verizon stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Verizon raised the lower end of its 2025 adjusted profit forecast to 1%–3% and lifted its annual free cash flow outlook to $19.5–20.5 billion after reporting Q2 revenue of $34.5 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.22, both ahead of analysts’ expectations.
The company added 293,000 net broadband subscribers in Q2 after receiving regulatory approval for its $20 billion Frontier Communications acquisition, supporting its strategy to expand in fiber-optic internet services and diversify its revenue.
Wireless service revenue increased 2.2% year-over-year in Q2, driven by robust adoption of higher-tier plans and streaming add-ons such as Netflix, demonstrating Verizon’s effectiveness in selling premium offerings.
Verizon posted a surprise net loss of 9,000 monthly bill-paying wireless subscribers in Q2, missing the anticipated 13,000 addition and highlighting ongoing customer churn after price increases in January.
At a March investor conference, Verizon cautioned that competitors’ aggressive off-season promotions would likely result in soft Q1 wireless subscriber growth, which led to a 7% drop in the share price and indicates increasing market competition.
Verizon ended its diversity, equity and inclusion programs in May to obtain regulatory clearance for the Frontier acquisition, raising concerns about potential impacts on employee morale and corporate reputation.
