Verizon Communications stock was trading at EUR 41.07 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 4:02 p.m. CEST. The company had invested USD 70.00 million in a nationwide artificial intelligence training initiative on September 23, 2026, according to Verizon.
Three dated Verizon milestones
On July 24, 2026, Verizon reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.30 for the second quarter of 2026, versus USD 1.27 consensus, while revenue reached USD 34.25 billion, according to Yahoo Finance. On September 9, 2026, Verizon declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.7075 per share, payable on November 2, 2026, as reported by Zacks.
On September 23, 2026, Verizon announced the USD 70.00 million AI Skills for America program. The funding combines USD 20.00 million previously committed to reskilling departing workers with USD 50.00 million in new funding, according to Reuters.
What does the AI investment change?
The initiative gives job seekers, educators, small businesses and displaced workers access to training resources from IBM, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, Coursera and OpenAI. Verizon said the program would launch nationwide, with additional community support in selected regional markets, according to Verizon.
The financial scale is modest beside Verizon revenue of USD 34.25 billion in the second quarter of 2026, equal to 0.20 percent of that quarterly total. Its investor significance is strategic rather than immediately earnings driven because the program links the carrier with workforce development and artificial intelligence adoption.
Next dates are October 9 and October 26
Verizon has scheduled October 9, 2026 as the ex-dividend date for the USD 0.7075 quarterly payment. The investor calendar lists October 26, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. ET for third-quarter 2026 earnings and identifies the event as the next reporting date, according to Verizon.
