Verizon Communications stock is set for its next major test after the company scheduled third-quarter results for October 26, 2026. The report follows second-quarter adjusted EPS of USD 1.30, which exceeded the USD 1.27 consensus, while revenue declined 0.7 percent year over year to USD 34.25 billion.

October 26 brings the next test

Verizon said on September 28, 2026, that it will publish third-quarter 2026 results on October 26, 2026, with materials available at 7:00 a.m. ET and a webcast at 8:30 a.m. ET. The date gives the market a defined checkpoint for service revenue, wireless additions and the integration of Frontier.

The second-quarter numbers show a mixed operating picture. StockTitan reported that Q2 2026 GAAP net income was USD 3.9 billion and GAAP diluted EPS was USD 0.92, while adjusted EBITDA rose 7.2 percent to USD 13.7 billion and adjusted EBITDA margin reached 40.1 percent. Cash from operations for the first half was USD 18.4 billion, up 9.9 percent year over year.

Analysts lower the target

On October 2, 2026, MarketBeat reported that Scotiabank lowered its Verizon price target from USD 52.50 to USD 51.50 while retaining a Sector Outperform rating. The change places more emphasis on execution at the October earnings release because the target reduction came despite the Q2 EPS beat.

The broader analyst view is more measured. MarketBeat lists a Hold consensus from 20 analysts, including 12 Holds and 8 Buys, with an average target of USD 50.90, a high of USD 56.00 and a low of USD 44.00. The average target is 10.8 percent above the reference price of USD 45.92.
