VZ FY2026 Q2 · Calendar Q3 2026

Verizon Communications Inc.

Verizon's Q2 2026 results reinforce a multiquarter turnaround narrative: postpaid net adds accelerated to 184K from 55K in Q1, churn hit a record-low 84 bps, and the consumer value proposition built around Simplicity, Verizon One, and the Loyalty program is translating into higher ARPU and better-quality additions. Beyond the core wireless story, two new strategic moves -- a 50-50 BT joint venture combining approximately $4B of international wireline revenue and a greater-than-$1B Google dark-fiber agreement for AI data centers -- open a high-margin infrastructure revenue stream beginning in 2027.

VZ FY2026 Q1 · Calendar Q2 2026

Verizon Communications Inc.

Verizon's Q1 2026 results support a thesis of durable earnings growth and resilient demand. The company delivered its first positive Q1 postpaid phone net adds in 13 years (55,000), reduced churn below 85 bps, and expanded adjusted EPS 7.6% YoY to $1.28, beating the $1.22 estimate. Management raised full-year EPS guidance to 5-6% while reaffirming revenue growth, pointing to convergence of mobile, fiber and fixed-wireless, a $5 billion OpEx savings plan, and a completed C-Band/AI stack as levers. The bull case rests on continued net-add momentum, cost transformation, and shareholder returns; the main questions center on ARPA trends, upgrade rates, FWA-versus-fiber mix, and execution of the Frontier integration.
