Key figures, earnings dates and further reports help investors track the long-term development of Verizon stock.
What analyst data indicate
Consensus data compiled by MarketBeat show that Verizon reported first-quarter 2026 earnings per share of $1.28 on revenue of $34.44 billion on 04/27/2026, beating the consensus EPS estimate of $1.21. The same source cites company guidance for full-year 2026 EPS of $4.95 to $4.99.
Analyst commentary characterizes Verizon as a value and income name, with the investment narrative shifting from headline 5G subscriber growth toward cash flow maximization, debt reduction and capital discipline heading into mid-2026. This positioning underpins expectations of relatively stable, if unspectacular, earnings growth over the medium term.
Focus on consensus and dividend profile
According to MarketBeat, Verizon’s next earnings release is estimated for 07/24/2026, based on its historical reporting cadence. The same consensus framework suggests that Wall Street expects full-year EPS slightly above the midpoint of management’s guidance range, reflecting modest operational leverage.
Dividend-focused investors often view Verizon stock as a defensive core holding, supported by recurring wireless service revenue, a large postpaid subscriber base and a track record of regular dividend payments. Analysts describe this profile as suited to investors prioritizing yield and stability over high growth.
How Verizon makes its money
Verizon generates most of its revenue from wireless services in the United States, including mobile plans for consumers and businesses, device sales and related services. The group also operates wireline and fiber networks, selling broadband and enterprise connectivity, and continues to invest selectively in 5G and fiber infrastructure.
