Frontier Says Verizon Transaction Is Expected To Close By Q1 Of 2026

Verizon Communications's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.74% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 48.59 million shares sold short, which is 1.15% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.79 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730825126_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Verizon Communications has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Verizon Communications's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Verizon Communications's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.66%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About Verizon Communications?

Verizon Will Not Raise Frontier Bid

<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/iss-recommends-frontier-shareholders-abstain-voting-verizons-takeover-bid-2024-11-01/">https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/iss-recommends-frontier-shareholders-abstain-voting-verizons-takeover-bid-2024-11-01/</a>
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Nov 1 (Reuters) - Prominent proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services on Friday recommended Frontier Communications shareholders abstain from voting on Verizon's $20 billion takeover bid and instead support the adjournment proposal.
Shareholders must decide whether a sale to Verizon, which likely would not close for at least another year, represents a better risk-adjusted alternative to the company's standalone option, the proxy advisory firm said in a report.
"Given the possibility of substantially more value down the line, and the lack of urgency to approve a transaction ... it seems reasonable for shareholders to exercise the optionality of abstaining for the time being," ISS said.
Verizon said in September it would buy Frontier at an offer price of $38.50 per share, as the U.S. telecom giant looks to build its fiber subscriber base and better compete with rivals such as AT&amp;T <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/T.N">(T.N), opens new tab</a>.
The takeover, however, has faced opposition from some Frontier shareholders. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/verizon-bid-frontier-faces-investor-skepticism-sources-say-2024-10-14/">Reuters first reported</a> last month that some of the fiber-optic internet provider's largest shareholders were concerned about the deal.
Glendon Capital Management, which owns nearly 10% of Frontier, said last month it had decided to vote against the deal at the current price, as it "significantly undervalues" Frontier's assets and earnings trajectory.
ISS said the firm finds it unlikely that Verizon would "dramatically raise its bid for Frontier at this stage."
<a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/frontier-communications-asks-shareholders-accept-verizons-takeover-bid-2024-10-25/">Last week</a>, Frontier urged its shareholders to vote for the proposal, saying that it had reviewed interest from other potential buyers and found Verizon's proposal as the most favorable option.
The offer was "highly attractive" and creates significant value for stockholders, it had then said.

10 Communication Services Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Many tax benefits under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act are set to expire in 2025 which has led to ongoing discussions about their future and potential extensions ahead of next week's presidential election. Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris have presented their ideas on corporate tax policy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41611073/trump-vs-harris-how-their-fiscal-plans-could-add-trillions-to-the-us-national-debt">while on the campaign trail.&nbsp;</a>
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law in 2017 and significantly overhauled the U.S. tax code. Under the TCJA, corporate tax cuts reduced the average effective tax rate for large corporations from 22% to 12.8% with many of the largest and most profitable corporations seeing the largest tax breaks. However, the TCJA has been criticized for disproportionately benefiting higher-income individuals and corporations and its long-term impact on federal revenue.&nbsp;

As an example, Facebook parent Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) saw its effective tax rate drop from 28% to 18%, saving the company $8 billion in tax expenses during the 2018 to 2021 period, according <a href="https://itep.org/corporate-taxes-before-and-after-the-trump-tax-law/">to a study</a> by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. Meta's profits rose by 372% in the same three-year period.&nbsp;
The same study revealed profits for the largest, continuously profitable U.S. corporations rose by 44% after passage of the TCJA while their federal tax bills dropped by 16%.
Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) serves as another example of large corporate tax savings under the TCJA. The company saved $11 billion in taxes from 2018 to 2021 after its effective tax rate dropped from 21% to 8%. Verizon's U.S. profits grew by 18% in the three year period while its federal income taxes dropped by 52%.
Many key elements of the TCJA are set to expire in 2025 and the presidential candidates have differing opinions on future corporate tax policies.&nbsp;
Trump's Plan: Trump has called for extending most of the TCJA policies and making them permanent. He has also proposed reducing the corporate tax rate from the current 21% to 20% for all corporations with a further reduction to 15% for companies that manufacture all of their products in America. 
Another Trump proposal would allow businesses to claim research and development tax deductions in the year expenses are incurred, rather than amortizing costs over a period of years.&nbsp;
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget <a href="https://www.crfb.org/blogs/donald-trumps-proposal-lower-corporate-tax-rate-15">estimates</a> Trump's proposed lower corporate rates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41205433/trumps-proposals-could-nearly-double-us-debt-burden-compared-to-harris-but-both-can">could reduce</a> the federal government's revenue by about $200 billion through 2035.&nbsp;
Harris' Plan: Harris has proposed a very different set of corporate tax adjustments. Harris wants to raise the corporate rate from the current 21% to 28% and increase the corporate alternative minimum tax rate to 21%. A corporate tax rate of 28% would rank among the highest in major economies and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40736085/s-p-500-earnings-could-face-major-swings-under-harris-or-trump-tax-plans-goldman-sa">could impact</a> the GDP negatively, as well. 
Harris' proposals also include a $50,000 tax deduction for small business startup expenses, an increase from the current $5,000 deduction. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that Harris' proposals would reduce the federal deficit by $1 trillion over the next decade.&nbsp;
Election Ahead: The tax proposals put forth by Trump and Harris offer vastly different approaches and could have significant impacts on American businesses. It should be noted that these are campaign proposals, subject to change and would require Congressional approval to be implemented after the election.&nbsp;

AT&amp;T&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41485572/at-t-q3-earnings-strong-postpaid-phone-adds-adj-ebitda-growth-4-4b-impairment-charge-and-more">upgrade rate dropped</a> to 3.5%, down from 3.9% a year ago; Verizon&#8217;s fell to 3.0% from 3.4% and T-Mobile&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41501756/t-mobile-reports-strong-q3-results-service-revenues-grew-5-yoy-fcf-grew-29-raised-fy24-guidance">slipped slightly to</a> 2.6% from 2.7%.
These declines came despite overall net postpaid phone subscriber growth that met Verizon and AT&amp;T&#8217;s expectations and exceeded T-Mobile&#8217;s estimates.

While this data suggests the expected super cycle in smartphone upgrades has yet to materialize, analysts remain optimistic.
A super cycle had not been modeled for the September quarter and instead a forecast for muted iPhone revenue growth of 3%. Looking ahead, there is an expectation more robust growth of 4% in three of the four quarters in fiscal 2025, with the March 2025 quarter seeing a 7% boost due to the launch of a new iPhone SE.
The super cycle is anticipated to fully materialize in 2026, driven by the iPhone 17 and Apple&#8217;s AI advancements.
Apple is rolling out its Apple Intelligence features in phases, starting Oct. 28 with iOS 18.1, which includes limited AI functionalities.
The iOS 18.2 will follow, introducing ChatGPT integration and advanced capabilities like Visual Intelligence and Genmoji, which will further drive future sales.
Regarding current trends, IDC data shows that Apple smartphone shipments rose 3.5% year over year in the third quarter of 2024, with global smartphone shipments up 4%.
However, U.S. carrier-subsidized phone upgrades declined by around 7% year-over-year, which only partially correlates with global sales.
This trend may be influenced by Apple&#8217;s increasing use of installment plans to finance iPhone purchases, potentially reducing the impact of carrier subsidies. Despite the muted start to the current iPhone cycle, analysts believe the AI ramp will meaningfully accelerate sales within a year, with the stock likely reflecting that momentum ahead of time.
Crockett projected fourth-quarter revenue of $94.83 billion and EPS of $1.62.
AAPL Price Action: Apple stock is down 0.22% at $230.30 at publication Thursday.

AAPL

Apple's AI-Powered Future: iPhone Growth Surge By 2026 With New iPhone 17, AI Integration, Analyst Says

Keybanc Captial Markets analyst Brandon Nispel downgraded Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) stock from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VZ/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Overweight to Sector Weight</a>.
Nispel rerated and reduced his estimates following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41450868/verizon-q3-earnings-wireless-subs-boost-with-5g-offers-1-7b-severance-charge-hit-to-profit-reiterat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">weaker-than-expected</a> results. While the analyst&#8217;s prior outlook largely remains, he adjusted his rating based on limited EBITDA growth potential for 2025 (projected at 1.5% compared to 2.2% in 2024) and a likely decline in free cash flow (expected to fall to $17.5 billion in 2025 from $20.2 billion in 2024). 
Verizon&#8217;s potential acquisition of Frontier Communications Parent, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FYBR#NASDAQ">FYBR</a>), which he noted as a poor capital allocation decision, and slowing improvements in postpaid phone net additions combined with higher device subsidies, indicated higher costs for the same growth.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41515616/monopoly-maker-hasbro-inventory-falls-39-in-q3-cfo-vows-to-finish-2024-with-improved-profitability" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Monopoly Maker Hasbro Inventory Falls 39% In Q3, CFO Vows To Finish 2024 With Improved Profitability</a>
Nispel expects limited EBITDA acceleration in 2025, barring significant price adjustments. Free cash flow is expected to decline to $17.5 billion due to increased capital expenditures (with 2025 guidance at around $18 billion) and higher cash taxes, with minimal offsets from lower interest expenses or restructuring efforts.
The analyst noted Verizon&#8217;s acquisition of Frontier Communications will restrict its ability to repurchase shares in the near term, which could otherwise generate a 6%+ yield. He considered share repurchases a better capital allocation strategy than the Frontier Communications deal, which he expects offers a 6% internal rate of return but carries more risk.
While Verizon is shifting from negative to positive postpaid phone net additions, device subsidies have increased, suggesting that the cost of growth is rising, Nispel said.
Verizon maintained its 2024 guidance of 2.0%-3.5% year-over-year wireless service revenue growth and 1.0%-3.0% adjusted EBITDA growth, expecting results to hit or exceed the midpoints. Capital spending guidance remains $17.0 billion-$17.5 billion. For 2025, the analyst expects decelerating wireless revenue growth, lower EBITDA growth of around 2% and declining free cash flow due to higher capital spending and taxes.
The analyst&#8217;s fair value of $42 reflects a multiple of 6.5 times his 2025 adjusted EBITDA estimates, compared to industry averages of 6.4 times for cable companies and 7.4 times for telecoms.
Nispel expects fourth-quarter revenue of $35.36 billion and EBITDA of $11.98 billion. The analyst expects fiscal 2024 revenue of $134.47 billion and EBITDA of $48.85 billion. He projects fiscal 2025 revenue of $136.36 billion and EBITDA of $49.6 billion.
Verizon stock lost close to 5% in the last five days.
Price action:&nbsp;VZ stock is down 2.48% at $41.80 at publication on Thursday.

Verizon Faces Slower Growth, Declining Cash Flow In 2025, Analyst Downgrades Stock

T-Mobile US Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) shares were climbing in early trading on Thursday, after the company announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41501756/t-mobile-reports-strong-q3-results-service-revenues-grew-5-yoy-fcf-grew-29-raised-fy24-guidance">strong third-quarter results</a>.
The company reported its results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Oppenheimer On T-Mobile US</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59282ae6290fa7000185325b/timothy-horan">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59282ae6290fa7000185325b/timothy-horan">Timothy Horan</a> maintained an Outperform rating, while lifting the price target from $215 to $250.
T-Mobile US reported revenues of $20.2 billion, up 4.7% and beating expectations by 120 basis points (bps), Horan said. The company generated "industry-leading" service revenue growth of 5.1%, driven by the highest ARPA (postpaid average revenue per account) growth in seven years and higher-than-expected postpaid phone net additions, he added. &nbsp;
The company's postpaid phone net additions of 865,000, which came in 65,000 higher than the estimate, was more than that of Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) and AT&amp;T Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) combined, the analyst stated. The company is on track for around 3 million phone adds this year, he further mentioned.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Scotiabank On T-Mobile US</h1>
Analyst Maher Yaghi reiterated a Sector Perform rating while raising the price target from $236 to $237.
"T-Mobile reported another strong quarter with continued industry-leading subscriber growth coupled with stringent focus on operating costs leading to a slight beat on EBITDA which supported another guidance increase," Yaghi wrote in a note.
The company continued to be well positioned to maintain industry-leading growth rates on both phone adds and cash generation "as we still see additional growth potential in suburban, rural and enterprise segments in mobile as well as a path towards additional market share gains in broadband," the analyst stated.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">KeyBanc Capital Markets On T-Mobile US</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59f8cd40efacff000111b43b/brandon-nispel">Analyst</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59f8cd40efacff000111b43b/brandon-nispel"> Brandon Nispel</a> reaffirmed an Overweight rating while raising the price target from $230 to $252.
T-Mobile US reported total service revenue of $16.73 billion, up 5.1% year-on-year, beating consensus of 4.7% growth, Nispel said. The company's adjusted EBITDA of $8.22 billion came in higher than consensus of $8.12 billion, he added.
Postpaid phone net adds of 865,000 topped consensus of 749,000, driven by better-than-expected churn, the analyst stated. "We think one of the most impressive achievements is TMUS driving accelerating postpaid phone subscriber growth in the last two quarters, while also raising pricing driving ARPU/ARPA higher," he further wrote.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs On T-Mobile US</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5805f8a2846faa000106ab15/james-schneider">Analyst James Schneider</a> maintained a Buy rating while lifting the price target of $220 to $250.
Postpaid phone net adds came in higher than Street expectations, while fixed wireless access net adds of 415,000 also beat consensus of 405,000, Schneider said. Postpaid phone churn came in at 0.86% versus consensus of 0.90%, he added.
T-Mobile US raised its full-year guidance for postpaid net customer adds to 5.6-5.8 million, from its prior projection of 5.4-5.7 million, while its postpaid phone net add guidance stands at 3 million, the analyst stated. The company also raised its core adjusted EBITDA guidance to $31.6-$31.8 billion, from $31.5-$31.8 billion. "T-Mobile's guidance implies room for upside," he further wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Benchmark On T-Mobile US</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ca96e4b85e930001f446dd/matthew-harrigan">Analyst Matthew Harrigan</a> reiterated an Equal-Weight rating while raising the price target from $250 to $255.
The company's core EBITDA grew by "a very strong" 8.9% to $8.222 billion, Harrigan said. "Postpaid net customer additions testified to the appeal of T-Mobile's real and perceived 5G leadership with a 1.575M advance, including best-in-a-decade postpaid phone additions of 865K," he added.
The ARPA change "suggests management's guidance is quite credible with possible actual upside if T-Mobile continues to gain momentum among affluent urban market seeking the superior 5G network," the analyst stated.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">RBC Capital Markets On T-Mobile US</h1>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5846ee55ee7bf6000154d12b/jonathan-atkin">Analyst Jonathan Atkin</a> reaffirmed an Outperform rating and price target of $232.
The company's free cash flows were 11% above consensus, "driven by higher profit and timing of working capital," Atkin said.
"The company has continued its momentum in gaining share across different markets and consumer cohorts," the analyst stated. Management raised its full-year guidance for postpaid net additions by 150,000 at the midpoint and core adjusted EBITDA by $50 million at the midpoint, he added.
TMUS Price Action: Shares of T-Mobile US had risen by 4.96% to $231.99 at the time of publication on Thursday.

Earnings Beats

T-Mobile's Customer Growth Outpaces Verizon, AT&T Combined: Analysts Raise Forecasts

WIIM

Verizon Communications shares are trading lower after Keybanc downgraded the stock from Overweight to Sector Weight.

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) shares are trading lower by 2.66% to $41.72 during Thursday&#8217;s session and are lower by 4.5% this week. The stock is trading lower this week after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41450868/verizon-q3-earnings-wireless-subs-boost-with-5g-offers-1-7b-severance-charge-hit-to-profit-reiterat">mixed third-quarter results</a>.
What Happened: While Verizon delivered mixed results, it showcased resilience in key business areas despite a challenging macroeconomic environment.
Verizon reported flat year-over-year revenue of $33.33 billion, falling slightly short of Wall Street expectations of $33.43 billion. This stagnation in sales growth was largely due to a drop in wireless equipment revenue, which offset growth in other areas such as service and fixed wireless connections.
The company posted an adjusted EPS of $1.19, marginally exceeding analysts&#8217; consensus estimate of $1.18. Notably, Verizon&#8217;s total wireless service revenue climbed by 2.7% year-over-year to $19.8 billion, driven by pricing adjustments and increased adoption of its fixed wireless services.
The company added 239,000 postpaid phone subscribers, while total retail postpaid net additions stood at 349,000.

Verizon&#8217;s broadband business also showed strong momentum, with 389,000 total broadband net additions for the quarter. The company now has 11.9 million broadband subscribers, reflecting a 16% increase from the prior year. Its fixed wireless service, a key growth driver, saw 363,000 net additions.
What Else: On the cost front, Verizon&#8217;s net income dropped to $3.4 billion from $4.9 billion a year ago, largely due to a $1.7 billion charge tied to severance payments from its voluntary separation program and other headcount reduction measures. 
However, the company's consumer segment showed improved profitability, with the EBITDA margin rising by 60 basis points to 43.4%, thanks to higher service revenue and fewer upgrades. The Business segment's EBITDA margin, however, contracted by 30 basis points to 21.8%, pressured by declining wireline revenues.
Verizon's adjusted EBITDA for the quarter reached $12.5 billion, an increase from $12.2 billion in the same period last year. However, its year-to-date free cash flow declined slightly to $14.5 billion from $14.6 billion a year earlier.
Looking ahead, Verizon reiterated its full-year guidance, forecasting wireless service revenue growth in the range of 2.0% to 3.5%. The company also reaffirmed its adjusted EPS target of $4.50 to $4.70, aligning with the market consensus of $4.57.
Following the earnings report, several analysts made adjustments to their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VZ/earnings">price targets</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy VZ Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Verizon Communications&#8217; case, it is in the Communication Services sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, VZ has a 52-week high of $45.36 and a 52-week low of $33.34.

Keybanc Downgrades Verizon Communications to Sector Weight

Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) stock rebounded Wednesday after a selloff following the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41450868/verizon-q3-earnings-wireless-subs-boost-with-5g-offers-1-7b-severance-charge-hit-to-profit-reiterat" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter print</a> Tuesday, also getting a boost from AT&amp;T Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) quarterly print.
The sales growth was flat year-over-year, reaching $33.33 billion, marginally missing the&nbsp;analyst estimate of $33.43 billion. Declines in wireless equipment revenue offset the company&#8217;s Service and other revenue growth.

EBITDA Growth, $4.4B Impairment Charge And More</a>
Analysts rerated Verizon after its quarterly print. BofA Securities analyst David W. Barden maintained a Neutral rating with a price target of $45.
RBC Capital analyst Jonathan Atkin maintained a Sector Perform with a price target of $46. Scotiabank analyst Maher Yaghi reiterated a Sector Perform rating with a price target of $47.00, down from $47.25.
BofA Securities: Verizon&#8217;s solid third-quarter results position the company to meet or exceed the midpoint of its service revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth guidance, although shares have declined, Barden noted.
According to the analyst, investors are likely reacting to Verizon&#8217;s 2025 capital expenditure guidance of $17.5 billion-$18.5 billion, which suggests potential free cash flow challenges. He said that the company discussed priorities such as fixed wireless access (FWA), fiber to the home (FTTH), convergence, and capital allocation at a recent event.
Verizon raised its FWA subscriber target to 8-9 million by 2028, driven by C-band deployment in suburban and rural areas and the use of mmWave spectrum to target multi-tenant dwellings.
Verizon aims to pass 30 million homes with fiber by 2028, including Frontier&#8217;s current passings, and eventually grow this to 35-40 million. The company highlighted that consumer-led convergence can drive revenue and margins through reduced churn and cross-selling opportunities.
Verizon outlined capital allocation priorities, focusing on investing in the business, growing the dividend, and improving the balance sheet. It also increased its leverage target to 2-2.25 times and will consider buybacks at or below this level.
Barden noted that Verizon has leveraged its premium network to build a premium-value subscriber base. According to the analyst, Verizon&#8217;s long-term strategy is to use its network as a service model as the foundation for the emerging 5G economy. In the near term, it faces competitive pressure that will likely increase promotional spending and impact margins as it awaits the 5G economy to take off.
RBC Capital: Verizon&#8217;s third-quarter revenue reached $33.3 billion, flat Y/Y and slightly below expectations due to weaker wireless equipment sales caused by fewer handset upgrades. Adjusted EBITDA rose 2.1% Y/Y to $12.5 billion, surpassing estimates by 0.6%, while adjusted EPS of $1.19 came in slightly ahead, beating by $0.01.
Free cash flow was $6.0 billion, exceeding expectations due to the timing of capital expenditures, while operating cash flow was impacted by cash taxes and non-recurring charges. Capital expenditures for the quarter were $3.9 billion, lower than anticipated.
The rerating reflects Verizon&#8217;s network position and concrete dividend yield, offset by potentially increasing competitive intensity in the wireless business. Atkin noted that the company&#8217;s underlying wireless subscriber momentum and service revenue trajectory are enhancing and should benefit further from differentiated promotions.
The potential for expanded promotional activity as carriers and cable Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) compete for share in a saturated market and the concomitant impact on wireless margins, along with the company&#8217;s reliance on wireless service revenue growth through price increases, keeping him on the sidelines.
Scotiabank: Verizon&#8217;s third-quarter results aligned with Yaghi&#8217;s expectations and the consensus. Total revenue reached $33.3 billion, flat Y/Y, compared to the analyst&#8217;s estimate of $33.6 billion and the consensus of $33.4 billion.
Lower handset upgrades pressured wireless equipment revenues and offset wireless service revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA came in at $12.5 billion, in line with his and consensus estimates of $12.4 billion. Growth was supported by wireless gains and lower handset upgrade rates, as the new iPhone has yet to spark a noticeable increase in upgrades. 
While consumer postpaid phone net adds turned positive at +81K (~60K from second lines), management must show sustained recovery over the next few quarters, especially without the boost from second lines seen in the second and third quarter. The increase in fiscal 2025 capex guidance by $750 million came as a surprise, indicating that free cash flow (FCF), while healthy, may not see growth next year.
Yaghi noted Verizon&#8217;s past investments provide the company with avenues to improve growth, including its 5G services, C-band acquisition and deployment, TracFone acquisition, wholesale MVNO access, etc. The analyst noted Verizon&#8217;s nationwide broadband coverage is still in the early innings. FTTH coverage is extensive enough to offset non-Fios losses to cable, as per the analyst.
However, the integration of TracFone is causing leakage on the prepaid side for a few more quarters and, combined with a weaker positioning in consumer postpaid offerings (due to the company&#8217;s decision not to join the fray to subsidize handsets heavily), is forcing pressure on its revenue outlook, Yaghi added.
Price action: VZ stock is up 2.66% at $42.61 at the last check on Wednesday.

Verizon will not raise Frontier Communications bid, CNBC says

In times of market uncertainties, high-dividend yield stocks are ideal investment choices for their qualities like stable passive income, protection against inflation, and price appreciation. Thus, investors could consider fundamentally sound, high dividend yield stocks Verizon Communications (VZ), Pfizer (PFE), and Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) for steady passive income. Read more... High-dividend yield stocks allure investors with attractive yield levels, regular income streams, and growth potential in the long run. These stocks also have the potential to optimize investment portfolios against economic volatility and offer wide long-term growth prospects.
Against this backdrop, it could be wise to invest in fundamentally strong high dividend yield stocks Verizon Communications Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/VZ/">VZ</a>), Pfizer Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PFE/">PFE</a>), and Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/EPD/">EPD</a>) could be ideal buys for steady passive income.
The U.S. economy shows mixed signals, urging investors to seek stable investment alternatives. Amid this, high dividend yield stocks stand out as they offer a combination of reliable income and gradual capital appreciation, suitable for investors seeking passive income and protection from economic volatility.
During the third quarter, the <a href="https://www.bea.gov/news/2024/gross-domestic-product-third-quarter-2024-advance-estimate">U.S. economy's real gross domestic product</a> increased at an annual rate of 2.8%, according to the "advance" estimate of the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The growth in the current quarter was propelled by solid consumer spending and favorable government spending. The growth was lower than the second quarter real GDP of 3.0%.
The GDP growth was also below the 3.1% estimate of economists. Further, continuous import growth, outpacing export growth, contributes to the economic slowdown. <a href="https://www.conference-board.org/brief/global-economy/gdp-q3-2024#:~:text=Real%20GDP%20growth%20remained%20healthy,anticipated%20roughly%203%20percent%20growth.">For the fourth quarter</a>, the real GDP growth is also expected to be slow as hurricane effects and inventory destocking limited the expansion. Also, speculation of another rate cut and inflation continue to be a concern.
Therefore, against the economic uncertainties, high-dividend yield stocks pose a bright investment prospect for investors. The benefit of dividends makes a stock more appealing to investors, providing potential for regular dividend earnings and capital appreciation. Also, investing in high dividend-yield stocks ensures that the company is performing well financially.
Given the economic trends, investing in high dividend yield stocks with dividend yield above 5%, such as VZ, PFE, and EPD, could be wise for future gains.

3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Buy for Steady Passive Income

Low P/E S&P stocks stand out as undervalued picks in a volatile market, offering income and potential growth. Amid this backdrop, investors looking for low P/E stocks might consider Merck & Co. (MRK), Verizon Communications (VZ), and The Kroger Co. (KR), as they are well-positioned to deliver steady returns. Read more… S&amp;P stocks with <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/price-earningsratio.asp">low price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios</a> can offer attractive entry points for value-focused investors, especially those seeking established blue-chip companies with long-term growth prospects. Below, I have highlighted three such S&amp;P stocks that have low P/E ratios, namely, Merck &amp; Co., Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/MRK/">MRK</a>), Verizon Communications Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/VZ/">VZ</a>), and The Kroger Co. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/KR/">KR</a>).
Now, you might wonder why a low P/E ratio. Well, lower P/E ratios often indicate undervaluation relative to its peers in the industry, particularly for companies with stable cash flows and strong market positions. This valuation measure becomes particularly appealing amid market volatility due to temporary or sector-specific challenges.
Specific sectors like healthcare, industrials, and financials are showing favorable P/E ratios relative to historical averages in the current market. These sectors often <a href="https://fullratio.com/pe-ratio-by-industry">benefit from cyclical market upswings</a>, and their stable earnings profiles can provide a cushion against economic slowdowns.
In sum, S&amp;P stocks with low P/E ratios are drawing attention as attractive investment opportunities for long-term and income-focused investors. Given these favorable trends, let's analyze the fundamental aspects of the MRK, VZ, and KR to understand them better:
Merck &amp; Co., Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/MRK/">MRK</a>)
MRK is a global healthcare company offering health solutions through its prescription medicines, including biological therapies, vaccines, and animal health products. It operates through two segments: Pharmaceutical and Animal Health.
On October 23, MRK announced that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has voted to update the adult-age-based pneumococcal vaccination guidelines and to recommend CAPVAXIVE in adults 50 years of age and older. This recommendation is an important step forward to access and vaccination rate improvement.
In the same month, MRK and Exelixis, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/EXEL/">EXEL</a>) signed a clinical development collaboration to evaluate the combination of EXEL's investigational tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) zanzalintinib with MRK's anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA&#xAE; (pembrolizumab) in Phase 3 pivotal trial for the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer in combination with WELIREG (belzutifan) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
This collaboration is for an unmet clinical need with two approved therapies and should pave the way further for zanzalintinib development in RCC.
In terms of forward non-GAAP P/E, MRK is trading at 12.98x, 37.8% lower than the industry average of 20.88x. Likewise, the stock's forward EV/EBIT and Price/Cash Flow multiples of 11.79 and 9.88 are 28.6% and 36.9% lower than their respective industry averages of 16.50 and 15.68.

The company has an impressive surprise history; it surpassed the consensus revenue and EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.
Over the intraday, the stock has declined marginally, closing the last trading session at $101.87.
MRK's <a href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/">POWR Ratings</a> reflect its promising outlook. The stock has an overall rating of A, which equates to a Strong Buy in our proprietary rating system.

This transaction will save costs for VZ and create greater vendor diversity in the market.
On September 5, VZ entered into an agreement with Frontier Communications Parent, Inc. (FYBR) to acquire Frontier in an all-cash transaction valued at $20 billion. This acquisition will considerably expand VZ's fiber footprint and intelligent edge network for digital innovations like AI and IoT in the market.
In terms of forward non-GAAP P/E, VZ is trading at 8.92x, 34.9% lower than the industry average of 13.72x. Likewise, the stock's forward EV/EBIT and Price/Cash Flow multiples of 11.98 and 5.00 are 21.6% and 40.5% lower than the industry averages of 15.28x and 8.39x, respectively.
In the fiscal third quarter that ended on September 30, 2024, VZ's service revenues and other increased marginally year-over-year, amounting to $27.99 billion. The company's consolidated adjusted EBITDA came in at $12.49 billion, up 2.1% year-over-year, and its EPS stood at $0.41, up 355.6% year-over-year.

On October 8, KR announced that Boost by Kroger Plus will include Disney streaming options as part of its annual memberships. The company's members can choose from Disney+ Basic (With Ads), Hulu (With Ads), or an ESPN+ subscription as part of an inclusion benefit.

사후지불 전화 순증가 239,000대는 골드만삭스의 225,000대 예상과 시장의 231,000대 예상치를 초과했다. 소비자 매출은 $254억으로 골드만삭스의 예상과 일치했지만, 시장의 $256억 예상에는 미치지 못했다.
기업 매출은 $74억으로 두 예상치와 일치했다.
버라이즌은 2024년 가이던스를 재확인하며 무선 서비스 매출 성장률을 2.0%에서 3.5%로 예상했으며, 이는 골드만삭스와 시장 예상 3.2%와 일치한다.
조정된 EBITDA 성장률은 1.0%에서 3.0%로 예상되며, 골드만삭스의 2.2% 및 시장의 2.3% 예상과 비교된다.
조정된 EPS 전망은 $4.50에서 $4.70으로 유지되며, 골드만삭스의 $4.61 및 시장의 $4.59와 일치한다.
자본 지출 가이던스는 $170억에서 $175억으로 설정되어 골드만삭스의 $173억 및 시장의 $172억 예상과 거의 일치한다.
슈나이더는 실적이 예상과 일치한 후 주가 반응이 약화될 것으로 예상하며, 기업의 사후지불 전화 순증가가 그의 예상치를 초과했지만 소비자 추가 가입자는 약간 부족했다고 언급했다.
그는 실적 발표 전 투자자 포지셔닝이 비교적 중립적이었으며, 긍정적인 가격 전략이 EBITDA 성장을 지원하고 경쟁 환경이 더 우호적으로 변하면서 강세론자들 사이에 낙관론이 작용했다고 지적했다.
이번 분기가 예상과 일치하고 가이던스가 변경되지 않으면서 슈나이더는 투자자들의 관심이 버라이즌의 향후 초고속 인터넷 발표로 이동할 것으로 예상했다. 여기서 광섬유와 고정 무선이 회사의 향후 초고속 인터넷 확장 전략에서 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 예상된다.
주가 움직임: 버라이즌의 주식은 화요일 동부 시간 오후 3시 17분에 4.55% 하락하여 $41.71로 거래되었다.

미국 통신사들을 겨냥한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41200026/chinese-hackers-breach-at-t-verizon-networks-in-major-wiretap-data-theft-putting-us-national-securit">해킹 캠페인</a>이 공개된 지 일주일이 지나도 의회는 그 함의를 평가하고 있다. 중국의 솔트 타이푼(Salt Typhoon) 그룹이 AT&amp;T(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>), 버라이즌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) 및 루멘 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>)에 침투한 것으로 보도되어, 법원에서 승인된 감청과 관련된 민감한 정부 데이터가 노출되었을 가능성에 대한 우려가 제기되고 있다.
월스트리트 저널이 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/u-s-officials-race-to-understand-severity-of-chinas-salt-typhoon-hacks-6e7c3951" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>한 바와 같이, 의회 위원회는 이들 세 회사의 최고경영자들에게 침입 사건에 대한 자세한 설명과 시스템 보안 조치에 대한 서한을 보냈다.
하원 에너지 상업위원회의 의장인 캐시 맥모리스 로저스(공화-워싱턴) 의원은 이 회사들이 다음 주까지 전체 브리핑을 제공할 것을 요청했다.
&#8220;이런 종류의 침해 사건은 빈도와 심각도가 증가하고 있다&#8221;고 이 편지에 적혀 있다. &#8220;위원회는 이 사건이 어떻게 발생했는지, 그리고 귀사가 향후 서비스 중단을 방지하고 고객 데이터를 보호하기 위해 어떤 조치를 취하고 있는지 더 잘 이해할 필요가 있다.&#8221;
존 무레나르(공화-미시간) 의원과 라자 크리슈나무르티(민주-일리노이) 의원은 하원 중국 특별위원회를 대표하여 이 침해 사건이 심각한 국가 안보 문제를 야기할 수 있다는 우려를 제기했다.
&#8220;우리는 지금까지 직면한 적 없는 사이버 적과 맞서고 있으며, 국가의 사이버 보안 접근 방식을 긴급하게 강화해야 한다&#8221;고 그들이 <a href="https://selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/10.10.24_Letter%20to%20Verizon%20ATT%20and%20Lumen.pdf">성명</a>에서 밝혔다.
워싱턴 주재 중국 대사관은 이번 공격과의 연관성을 부인했다. &#8220;중국은 모든 형태의 사이버 공격에 단호히 반대하고 이를 반대한다&#8221;고 대변인이 말하며, 중국 정부가 이러한 침해 사건 뒤에 있다는 주장을 반박했다.
한편, 상원 정보위원회 위원이며 사이버 보안 문제의 주요 옹호자인 론 와이든(민주-오리건) 상원의원은 법무부와 연방통신위원회(FCC)에 서한을 보냈다.
&#8220;정부가 많은 책임이 있다&#8221;고 와이든이 썼으며, 법 집행 기관 인증위원회(CALEA)에 따른 감청 시스템의 취약성에 대한 오랜 무대책을 비판했다.
1994년에 통과된 CALEA는 통신 제공업체들이 법 집행기관이 통신을 가로챌 수 있는 시스템을 유지하도록 요구한다. 2005년에 인터넷 기반 서비스와 초고속 서비스를 포함하도록 법이 확장되었으며, 민간 기업들이 준수를 보장할 책임을 지게 되었다.
그러나 버클리의 선임 연구원인 니콜라스 위버(Nicholas Weaver) 박사와 같은 컴퓨터 보안 전문가는 리즌(Reason)의 보고서에 <a href="https://reason.com/2024/10/11/chinese-hackers-used-u-s-government-mandated-wiretap-systems/">따르면</a> 이러한 &#8216;백도어&#8217;가 수년 동안 심각한 보안 위험을 초래한다고 경고해 왔다.
다른 사이버 보안 전문가들은 솔트 타이푼 침해 사건이 백도어 접근의 내재적 위험을 드러낸다고 말한다.
&#8220;백도어의 문제는 잘 알려져 있다&#8221;고 존스 홉킨스 대학교의 암호학 교수인 매튜 그린( Matthew Green)이 말했다. &#8220;어떤 채널이 한 당사자에게만 전용되면 결국 다른 당사자에게 발견되고 남용될 것이다.&#8221;

美 의원들, 중국 해킹에 대해 AT&T, 버라이즌 및 루멘에게 답변 요구

중국 정부와 연관된 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/04/38346345/chinese-hackers-may-control-your-water-and-are-laying-in-wait-fbi-warns-3-startups-to-watch">사이버 공격</a>으로 인해 주요 미국 광대역 제공업체들이 해킹을 당한 것으로 보이며, 이로 인해 법원 승인에 의한 도청 요청 시스템이 위험에 처할 수 있다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 솔트 타이푼(Salt Typhoon)으로 알려진 이 해커들은 몇 달 동안 이러한 네트워크에 액세스하여 심각한 국가 안보 위험을 초래했을 수 있다. 이 침해는 다른 인터넷 트래픽 섹션으로도 확장되었다고 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/cybersecurity/u-s-wiretap-systems-targeted-in-china-linked-hack-327fc63b">월스트리트 저널</a>이 보도했다.
AT&amp;T(NYSE:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/t" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for T" data-google-interstitial="false">T</a>), 버라이즌 커뮤니케이션스(NYSE:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/vz" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for VZ" data-google-interstitial="false">VZ</a>) 그리고 루멘 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>)는 이번 침해로 네트워크가 손상된 회사들 중 일부이다.
잠재적으로 치명적인 보안 침해로 간주되는 이 공격은 주로 정보 수집을 목표로 했다. 이러한 침해 규모와 해커들이 관찰하고 유출한 데이터의 양은 아직 조사 중이다.
관련 기사 보기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41181916/mark-cuban-offers-to-help-elon-musk-boost-x-revenue-says-tesla-ceo-is-concerned-about-declining-user?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">마크 큐반이 일론 머스크에게 X 수익 증대를 도와주겠다고 제안, 테슬라 CEO가 사용자 감소에 대해 우려한다고 말하다: &#8216;그가 나에게 전화하길 바란다&#8217;</a>
문제가 된 이 감시 시스템은 범죄 및 국가 안보 수사와 관련된 국내 정보 요청을 준수하기 위해 사용된다고 이보도가 밝혔다.
연방법에 따르면, 이 통신 및 광대역 회사들은 법원 명령을 통해 전자 데이터에 대한 접근을 당국에 허용해야 한다.
이 공격에 대한 지식이 있는 한 개인은 미국 정부가 이 침해를 역사적으로 매우 중요하고 우려스럽게 보고 있다고 말했다.

왜 이것이 중요한가요 (Why It Matters): 이번 사이버 공격은 중국 해커와 연관된 일련의 침해 사건 중 가장 최근의 사건이다. 올해 4월, 연방수사국(FBI) 국장 크리스토퍼 레이(Christopher Wray)는 중국과 연관된 해커들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38330156/fbi-chief-warns-xi-jinpings-ccp-linked-chinese-hackers-are-planning-to-physically-wreak-havoc-on-us">미국의 핵심 인프라에 침투하고 있다</a>고 경고했다. 여기에는 통신, 에너지 및 수도 부문이 포함된다.
5월에는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38659657/major-hacking-incident-exposes-data-of-military-personnel-in-uk-ministry-of-defence-breach-is-china">영국 국방부가 주요 데이터 유출 사건을 겪었고,</a> 활동 중인 군인들의 민감한 정보가 유출되었다. 이 사이버 공격의 배후에는 중국 국가가 있는 것으로 의심되었다.
8월에는 다가오는 선거의 보안에 대한 우려가 커졌고, 도널드 트럼프의 대통령 캠페인이 사이버 공격의 피해를 입은 후 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40305575/after-trump-campaign-blames-foreign-sources-hostile-to-the-us-for-cyberattack-ex-white-house-officia">미국에 적대적인 외국 소스</a>가 침입의 원인으로 지목되었다.
2020년부터 활동 중인 솔트 타이푼 그룹은 중국 기반의 국가 주도 해킹 그룹으로, 주로 간첩 활동과 데이터 절도를 목표로 하며, 특히 네트워크 트래픽을 캡처하는 데 중점을 두고 있다.
마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)는 현재 솔트 타이푼 침입을 조사 중이며, 다른 사이버 보안 회사들과 함께 조사하고 있다.

中 해커들이 AT&T 등의 네트워크를 침해, 주요 도청 데이터를 훔쳐 美 국가 안보에 위협: 보도

버라이즌 커뮤니케이션스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>)는 이전에 발표한 <a href="https://www.verizon.com/about/investors/sec-filings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">자발적 퇴사 프로그램</a>으로 인해 3분기에 17억~19억 달러의 퇴직금 충당금을 책정할 것으로 예상한다.
2024년 6월, 버라이즌은 2025년 3월 말까지 직원 4,800명을 축소하고 이들 직원 중 절반 이상이 2024년 9월에 퇴사한다는 계획을 공유했다.
9월에 버라이즌은 특정 부동산 자산을 매각하고 비전략적 사업 부문에서 철수할 계획을 발표하여, 이로 인해 2024년 3분기에 2억 3천만 달러~3억 8천만 달러의 자산 및 사업 합리화 비용이 발생할 것으로 예상하고 있다.
7월에는 버라이즌이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39883078/verizon-q2-earnings-wireless-revenue-and-broadband-subs-gain-traction-sales-fall-short-of-expectati" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">매출이 0.6%</a> 증가하여 328억 달러를 기록했지만, 컨센서스 예상치인 331억 달러에는 미치지 못했다고 보고했다. 이 회사는 1,150만 명의 브로드밴드 가입자들을 확보하여 17.2% 증가했으며, 후불 전화 순증가 수는 148,000명으로 컨센서스 예상치인 118,000명을 초과했다.
지난주 버라이즌은 광섬유 및 무선 서비스를 강화하기 위해 프론티어 커뮤니케이션즈 패런트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FYBR#NASDAQ">FYBR</a>)를 200억 달러에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40727235/verizon-to-acquire-frontier-in-20b-deal-reaffirms-fy24-outlook" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">인수하기로 합의</a>했다.
버라이즌의 주식은 지난 12개월 동안 28% 상승했다. 투자자들은 Invesco Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJD#NYSE">DJD</a>) 및 SPDR Series Trust SPDR Portfolio S&amp;P Sector Neutral Dividend ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPDG#NYSE">SPDG</a>)를 통해 주식에 노출될 수 있다.
주가 움직임: 버라이즌의 주식은 목요일 0.25% 상승한 43.86달러에 마감했다.

월요일 주목해야 할 주식: 버라이즌, SAP, 보잉 그리고 2종목

S&amp;P 500 기업들 중 약 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39769910/goldman-sachs-q2-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-investment-banking-fees-up-21-hikes-dividend" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">14%가 6월 분기 실적을 발표</a>했으며, 더 넓은 지수를 구성하는 기업들의 혼합 실적 성장률은 여전히 ​​양호하다. 이번 주에는 기술 보고 시즌이 공식적으로 시작될 것이며, 이는 최근 주에 가파른 하락세를 보인 시장의 향방을 잠재적으로 결정할 수 있다.
지난주 주요 사건: 기술주의 실적 시즌은 지난주 칩 장비 제조업체 ASML 홀딩 N.V.(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)의 실적 발표로 와만하게 시작되었다. 이 회사의 주가는 약한 3분기 전망과 중국 칩 금지를 둘러싼 지정학적 우려로 인해 약 16% 하락했다. 넷플릭스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)의 지침은 투자자들을 실망시켰지만 증권사 측 분석가들이 결과에 열광하면서 주가는 크게 하락하지 않았다.
투자자들은 뱅크 오브 아메리카(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), 모건 스탠리(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) 및 골드만삭스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) 등 나머지 대형 은행들의 실적 보고서에 환호했다. 투자 은행 사업의 반등과 강력한 트레이딩 매출이 은행들의 매출을 강화하는 데 도움이 되었다.
팩트셋(FactSet)의 최신 실적 전망 조사 <a href="https://advantage.factset.com/hubfs/Website/Resources%20Section/Research%20Desk/Earnings%20Insight/EarningsInsight_071924.pdf">보고서</a>에 따르면 이들 기업 중 80%가 예상보다 높은 주당 이익을 보고했는데, 이는 5년 평균인 77%와 비교된다. 평균 상승 여력은 약 5.5%이지만, 이는 5년 평균 상승률 8.6%보다 낮다.
관련 정보: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-tech-stocks">지금 가장 핫한 기술주</a>
실적 트렌드: 팩트셋에 따르면 S&amp;P 500 기업들의 2분기 혼합 실적 증가율은 현재 9.7%로 전주의 9.1%보다 높아진 것으로 추정된다. 이 추정치가 달성되면 분기 실제 성장률은 2021년 4분기 이후 보고된 전년 동기 대비 가장 높은 성장률을 기록할 것이라고 덧붙였다. 2분기 역시 4분기 연속 성장을 기록할 것으로 보인다.
S&amp;P 500 11개 부문 중 8개 부문이 전년 동기 대비 실적 성장을 기록할 것으로 예상되며, 그 중 통신 서비스, 의료, IT, 금융 부문 4개 부문이 두 자릿수 실적 성장을 기록할 가능성이 높다. 반면, 소재 업종을 중심으로 3개 업종의 실적 감소가 예상된다.
이번 주의 이슈: 이번 주에는 다우 30 지수 구성요소 7개를 포함해 S&amp;P 500 기업 138개 기업들의 실적 보고서가 나올 것이라고 팩트셋의 보고서가 밝혔다. 이번 주의 실적 발표 목록에는 통신, 자동차, 철강, 칩, 주택 건설, 방위, 항공 및 기술 산업의 기업들이 포함된다.
테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)와 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)은 S&amp;P 500과 나스닥 지수에서 높은 비중을 차지하고 있어 주목받는 기업들 중 하나이다. 테슬라는 전년 동기 대비 주당 순이익이 91센트에서 62센트로 급격히 감소할 것으로 예상되는 반면, 매출은 훨씬 완만하게 0.80% 감소한 247억 3천만 달러를 기록했을 수 있다. 이 이익성에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 일론 머스크의 회사가 어려운 수요 환경에서 생산량을 늘리기 위해 의존해 온 가격 인하에서 비롯된다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39810457/as-tesla-stock-bounces-back-fund-manager-says-elon-musk-led-company-offers-good-set">분석가들과 펀드 매니저들은</a> 회사가 해당 분기에 양호한 납품 실적을 보고한 후 낙관적이다. 하반기에도 반전이 있을 것으로 예상된다.
알파벳의 실적은 AI를 활용한 거대 기업들 중 최초로 분기별 실적을 발표하는 기업이기 때문에 중요하며, 이는 나머지 기업들의 실적 속도를 정할 수 있다.
지난주 주요 지수가 사상 최고치에서 후퇴하면서 주식시장이 큰 타격을 입었다. Benzinga Pro 데이터에 따르면 나스닥 100 지수의 성과를 추적하는 지수인 Invesco QQQ Trust(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)는 금요일 0.89% 하락한 475.24달러에 마감했다. 이 ETF는 7월 10일에 도달한 502.96달러의 사상 최고치보다 낮게 거래되고 있다. SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)도 금요일 0.66% 하락한 548.99달러로 마감했다.
이번 주 주목할 만한 실적 발표 기업은 다음과 같다:

테슬라, 알파벳, GM 및 포드가 이번 주 실적 발표 주도하며 상승세 유지 위해 고군분투

수요일에 주요 미국 지수는 하락마감했다. 다우존스 산업평균지수는 거의 1.1% 하락한 38,441.54에, S&amp;P 500은 0.7% 하락한 5,266.95에, 나스닥은 0.6% 하락한 약 16,290.58에 마쳤다.
하루 동안 소매 트레이더와 투자자들의 관심을 끈 최고의 종목들은 다음과 같다:
팔란티어 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>)
팔란티어 테크놀로지스의 주식은 약간의 하락을 보여, 0.52달러 하락한 20.94달러에 마감했다. 이 주가는 하루 종일 20.64달러에서 20.99달러 사이에서 변동했고, 52주 범위는 13.56달러에서 27.50달러 사이를 유지했다. 팔란티어의 주가는 회사가 이턴 코퍼레이션(Eaton Corporation)과의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/39065153/whats-going-on-with-palantir-technologies-stock-today" target="_blank" rel="noopener">파트너십을 확대</a>하고 인공 지능 플랫폼(AIP)을 이턴의 운영에 통합하면서 상승했다.
AST 스페이스모바일(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASTS#NASDAQ">ASTS</a>)
AST 스페이스모바일의 주식은 69.23% 상승한 9.02달러에 마감했다, 이날 주식은 일일 최고가 9.35달러에서 최저가 5.68달러를 기록했다. 이 주식은 52주 신고가 9.35달러에 도달했고, 52주 신저가 1.97달러에 비해 크게 성과를 거두었다. 이러한 급증은 버라이즌 커뮤니케이션스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NASDAQ">VZ</a>)와의 협력 소식 중에 발생했으며, 이는 셀룰러 직접 연결 AST 스페이스모바일 서비스를 통해 모바일 연결에 잠재적으로 혁명을 일으킬 수 있다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/39053365/once-the-dollar-breaks-down-peter-schiff-warns-of-run-away-inflation-investors-are-completely-unprep?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">달러가 붕괴하면, 피터 쉬프트가 투자자에게 경고: &#8216;투자자들은 완전히 준비되지 않았다&#8217;</a>

월트 디즈니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)
월트 디즈니의 주식은 1.52% 하락한 100.88달러에 마감했다. 이날 주식의 최고가는 102.08달러, 최저가는 100.77달러이며, 52주 범위는 78.73달러에서 123.74달러 사이다. 디즈니 광고 영업부(Disney Advertising Sales)에서 디지털 이니셔티브를 감독하는 고위 임원인 리사 발렌티노(Lisa Valentino)가 진행 중인 사전 협상 중에 <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">사임</a>하면서, 이 회사의 광고 부문 내 연속성과 전략에 대한 잠재적인 우려에 디즈니 주가가 하락했다.
테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)
테슬라의 주식은 0.32% 하락한 176.19달러에 마감했다. 이날 주식의 최고가와 최저가는 각각 178.15달러와 173.93달러이며, 52주간의 최고가와 최저가는 각각 299.29달러와 138.80달러다. 이날 주식은 일론 머스크가 전 대통령인 도널드 트럼프에게 차기 미국 대통령의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/39070289/elon-musk-in-the-white-house-tesla-ceo-could-land-advisory-role-for-donald-trump-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">자문위원</a>이 될 수도 있다는 소식이 나오자 주가가 하락했다.

CNN 비지니스의 공포와 탐욕 지수란?
공포와 탐욕 지수(Fear &amp; Greed Index)는 현재 시장 심리를 측정하는 지표입니다. 이는 두려움이 높을수록 주가에 압력을 가하는 반면, 탐욕이 높을수록 반대 효과가 나타난다는 전제에 기초한다. 지수는 7개의 동일 가중치 지표를 기반으로 계산된다. 지수 범위는 0에서 100까지이며, 0은 최대 공포를 나타내고 100은 최대 탐욕을 나타낸다.
