What the filing says
Verizon reported Q3 2026 results with 406,000 postpaid phone net additions (820% YoY increase), adjusted EBITDA of $13.8B (highest ever, +8.0% YoY), and adjusted EPS of $1.31 (+8.3% YoY). The company raised full-year 2026 guidance for the third consecutive quarter: postpaid phone additions to 1.1–1.2M (vs. prior 750K–1.0M), adjusted EPS to $5.04–$5.06 (+7.0–7.5% YoY), and free cash flow growth to ~12% (vs. 9–10% prior). Separately, Verizon signed a $2.0B+ commercial AI infrastructure deal with AWS for distributed compute and generative AI workloads.
Why this rating
Q3 results and guidance raise are solid operational wins (strong subscriber/margin momentum, margin expansion to 40.2%, FCF +14.3% YTD), but the $2B AWS deal is ~1.1% of market cap—material but not transformational. Execution de-risking within existing strategy.
