What believers are saying

  • Phone growth is back: Verizon added 184,000 postpaid phones from April to June 2026.
  • Home internet is growing: it added 193,000 5G home and 155,000 fiber customers in the quarter ended June 2026.
  • School gets subsidized: Verizon's careers site lists $5,250 a year in tuition assistance for employees.

What critics are saying

  • More cuts are planned: in January 2026 leadership targeted $5 billion in 2026 savings, largely from job cuts.
  • Debt grew with Frontier: Verizon paid $9.8 billion cash and took on $12.9 billion of debt in January 2026.
  • Core revenue grows slowly: mobility and broadband service revenue rose 2.8% in the second quarter of 2026.

What makes Verizon Communications unique

  • Fiber reach doubled: buying Frontier in January 2026 gave Verizon about 30 million fiber passings in 31 states.
  • Big business runs on it: Verizon says it serves nearly all of the Fortune 500.
  • Satellites will fill its dead zones: in May 2026 it agreed to pool spectrum with AT&T and T-Mobile.

Verizon CEO says SpaceX would need up to $500B and six years to rival its network

Verizon chief executive officer Dan Schulman says SpaceX would need four to six years and $300 billion to $500 billion to build a full Starlink Mobile carrier network in the US. He made the claim on Verizon's third-quarter earnings call on October 26. Schulman said SpaceX would need 65,000 to 80,000 macro cell sites, plenty of spectrum, retail stores, and customer service. "There's no magic wand. There's no secret sauce. There's no shortcut," he said. SpaceX says it aims to become a "major mobile carrier in the US." Fear of the threat has hit telecom stocks; Verizon shares fell 10.14% to $41.65 on October 9, a day after SpaceX announced a spectrum deal.

Verizon CEO open to Starlink deals but rules out network access: "no benefit whatsoever

Verizon chief executive officer Dan Schulman said the carrier is open to working with satellite providers such as Elon Musk's Starlink, but will not let them use its network to compete for mobile customers. Speaking on Verizon's third-quarter earnings call, he said satellite service suits remote areas and could complement wireless offerings, directly or through a joint venture. He ruled out mobile virtual network operator deals: "I see absolutely no benefit whatsoever to extending an MVNO deal to any satellite provider." Schulman estimated a rival buildout by SpaceX would need 65,000 to 80,000 macro sites and cost $300 billion to $500 billion over seven to eight years. "We will punch back hard when that happens," he said. Verizon shares closed down 3.49% at $43.10 despite its strongest third-quarter wireless subscriber growth in five years. Revenue was $34.31 billion, short of the $34.74 billion consensus.

Verizon yields 6.26% and keeps raising its dividend, while AT&T's 4.88% payout stays frozen

Verizon looks like the stronger income stock than AT&T, according to a comparison of the two telecoms' payouts. Verizon yields about 6.26% and has raised its dividend 19 years in a row. AT&T yields about 4.88% on a payout frozen since its 2022 cut. Verizon raised its quarterly dividend to $0.7075 from $0.69. AT&T pays $0.2775 a quarter and plans to hold $1.11 annualised through 2028. Verizon paid $5.9 billion in first-half dividends against $10.2 billion of free cash flow, about 58%. Its EBITDA margin hit 40.1% as it cut phone subsidies. AT&T's leverage rose after its $23 billion EchoStar spectrum purchase. It does not expect to return to 2.5x until 2029.
