Verizon chairman and CEO Hans Vestberg joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss the company's quarterly earnings results, 2025 growth outlook, taking market share from competitors, what to expect in the new Trump administration, and more.
Verizon reported Q4 earnings and revenue that edged by estimates. It forecast 2.4% wireless service revenue growth in 2025.
Verizon Communications (VZ) reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter results Friday morning as the number of wireless subscribers rose.
The company added 568,000 postpaid phone subscribers in the fourth quarter.
Verizon Communications forecast annual free cash flow and profit below Wall Street estimates on Friday, as the U.S. telecom major spends heavily to expand high-speed internet services and attract customers in a saturating wireless market.
Price hikes and the iPhone 16 upgrade cycle helped the telecommunications company's revenue to climb 1.6% compared with a year ago.
Since my last writing, the combination of price correction and improving fundamentals has made the price-value gap too wide for Verizon Communications Inc. stock. VZ's stock price has significantly diverged from the broader market lately, yet fundamentals are stabilizing, as reflected in the latest dividend declaration and earnings forecast. The company will keep facing growth pressure.
VZ seems to be treading in the middle of the road and new investors could be better off if they trade with caution.
Besides Wall Street's top -and-bottom-line estimates for Verizon (VZ), review projections for some of its key metrics to gain a deeper understanding of how the company might have fared during the quarter ended December 2024.
I have been slowly buying shares of Verizon (VZ 1.15%) over the past few years. The big draw for me is the telecom giant's big-time dividend.
The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to many companies claiming AI capabilities. Although not all of these are worthy AI investments, telecom giant Verizon Communications (VZ 1.15%) may be an overlooked sleeper AI stock.
Verizon (VZ) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.
