Scotiabank lowered its Verizon Communications price target from USD 52.00 to USD 50.00 on October 9, 2026, while maintaining a Sector Outperform rating, according to Benzinga. Verizon Communications stock was trading at EUR 38.68 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026 at 4:34 p.m. CEST.
Target cut sets the tone
The Scotiabank change leaves the target USD 2.00, or 3.85 percent, below its previous level. The firm kept its Sector Outperform view, so the adjustment changes the valuation yardstick without removing its positive rating.
Benzinga listed 17 analysts in its consensus data, with an average target of USD 49.00. That average is USD 1.00 below the Scotiabank target and gives investors a second reference point ahead of the company update.
