Jul 21, 2026 report
This covers the Jul 21, 2026 report. The Oct 26, 2026 numbers are in the table above.
Verizon beats EPS by 2.7%, stock jumps 5.8% on dividend reassurance
Verizon reported Q2 EPS of $1.30, beating the $1.27 estimate by 2.71%. The stock surged 5.84% on the day as management highlighted restructuring efforts to protect the dividend. Growth remains weak (TTM revenue +2.9%, EPS -2.5%), but valuation is cheap (P/E 11.3x, forward P/E 8.9x). The key risk is Starlink's direct-to-mobile service, which could pressure pricing power.
