What the Analysts think about Verizon
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Verizon stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Verizon stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Verizon added 184,000 monthly-billed postpaid phone subscribers in the second quarter, beating expectations as its simpler plans and bundles began to win customers. The company also raised its 2026 profit outlook. (Reuters)
Cash generation is improving: first-half free cash flow rose 16% year on year to $10.2 billion, and Verizon raised its full-year free-cash-flow growth target to 9–10%. That gives it more room to fund investment and shareholder returns. (Verizon)
Wireless service revenue is expected to be roughly flat for 2026, even as Verizon forecasts growth in its broader mobility and broadband services. That leaves the core wireless business with little near-term revenue momentum. (Verizon)
Second-quarter revenue narrowly missed analysts' expectations as customers held on to their phones longer, reducing equipment sales. Slower device upgrades could continue to weigh on reported revenue even if service subscriptions grow. (Benzinga)
Verizon's balance sheet and investment needs limit its financial flexibility: net unsecured debt was reported at $128.7 billion at the end of the second quarter, while full-year capital spending is forecast at $16.0–$16.5 billion. That leaves substantial demands on cash alongside dividends and other shareholder returns. (Insider Monkey, Verizon)
