About Verizon
Wireless services account for 75% of Verizon Communications' total service revenue and nearly all of its operating income. The firm serves about 94 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 that reach about 30 million homes and businesses, including about 20 million served by the Fios fiber-optic network. Verizon closed its acquisition of Frontier Communications in January, adding networks that reach another 15 million locations, including 9 million with fiber. These networks serve about 11 million broadband customers. Verizon also provides telecom services nationwide to enterprise customers, using a mix of its own and other networks.

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
Broadband is adding scale while cash generation remains strong. Verizon reported 341,000 broadband net additions in the first quarter and expects at least $21.5 billion of 2026 free cash flow, supporting network investment and the dividend. (Verizon)
The Frontier acquisition has increased financial risk. Verizon reported $142.5 billion of unsecured debt and $130.1 billion of net unsecured debt at the end of the first quarter, even though it aims to repay most of Frontier’s debt by year-end. (Verizon)
The customer-recapture strategy may weaken pricing power. Verizon’s new plan starts at $45 per line, with a $30 switching promotion, waived activation and upgrade fees, and 3% loyalty rewards, so better subscriber numbers may come with lower revenue or margins per customer. (Verizon)
