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.

<h3>Verizon Communications Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<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.

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.

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.
