What the filing says
Verizon reported Q2 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $13.7B (40.1% margin, highest ever), with mobility/broadband service revenue up 2.8% YoY to $23.4B. The company added 184K postpaid phones and 550K+ total mobility/broadband connections in Q2, more than double H1 2025 pace. Verizon raised full-year guidance for adjusted EPS to $4.99–$5.04 (6–7% growth), free cash flow growth to 9–10%, and expanded share buybacks to $4.5B. First-half free cash flow surged 16% to $10.2B despite $9.5B in acquisition spending. However, consolidated net income fell 22.9% to $3.9B due to $1.8B in special charges, including a $746M loss on divesting international wireline business.
Why this rating
Operational momentum and guidance raises are material for Verizon's scale, but offset by one-time charges. Relative to $182.4B market cap, $1.8B special items and $23.4B service revenue changes are moderate. Execution risk on sustained growth remains.
