What is Verizon Communications (VZ), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
Customer connections are the core unit of demand: mobile plans, device access, residential broadband, video and voice, plus private networks, communications, security and managed services for organizations.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Customer connections are the core unit of demand: mobile plans, device access, residential broadband, video and voice, plus private networks, communications, security and managed services for organizations. Verizon also sells wireless hardware and network access to mobile virtual network operators, so revenue is broader than subscriber fees alone.
The Consumer group contributes the dominant share of segment revenue, while the Business group adds enterprise connectivity and operational services. Consolidated results therefore measure a consumer-led connectivity platform with a meaningful business network arm, not merely a handset seller or a pure enterprise technology vendor.
What do the latest results show for Verizon Communications (VZ)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q2 FY2026, carried revenue of $34.25B.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Annual revenue advanced while net income softened. The latest quarter then brought lower revenue, operating profit and net income than the preceding quarter; the earnings result used for estimate comparisons still cleared consensus, while revenue fell short of expectations.
Management separately expects mobility and broadband service revenue to grow and wireless service revenue to improve later in the reporting cycle. That outlook is guidance rather than an explanation for the latest weakness, and the reported figures do not identify which operating driver caused the profit contraction.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

What are the financial strengths and risks for Verizon Communications (VZ)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $1.75B at the Jun 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $10.44B for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Verizon consistently produces substantial operating cash flow, and recent periods retained cash after capital spending. That recurring cash generation is the financial counterweight to the continuing cost of maintaining and expanding the network.
Debt vastly exceeds cash and investments, liquid coverage ratios are thin, and the cash balance has dropped sharply from its recent peak. A sustained decline in service economics or cash generation would therefore matter quickly because network spending and balance-sheet obligations leave limited room for operating disappointment.
How much cash does the business generate or use?
Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.

What should you watch next at Verizon Communications (VZ)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Oct 20, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Watch whether wireless service revenue actually improves, whether mobility and broadband service growth follows management’s raised outlook, and whether revenue begins clearing expectations alongside earnings. Cash after capital spending also needs to remain robust, while the next balance sheet will show whether the steep reduction in liquid resources was temporary or persistent.
What management is planning

We now expect to grow mobility and broadband service revenue 2.5% to 3% for the full year.

How does Verizon Communications compare with its peers?
Short answer
Verizon Communications's score ranks 11th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Verizon combines consumer mobile plans and devices with residential fixed connectivity, then layers enterprise private networking, communications, security and managed services onto the same corporate base. Consumer revenue dominates, so the economic profile differs from a business-network specialist; yet the Business group gives Verizon a broader customer and product mix than a consumer mobile provider alone.

Common Questions About VZ (Communication Services)
Research dated 2026-09-12; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 3 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
Why does Verizon Consumer matter more than Verizon Business?
Consumer supplies the dominant share of segment revenue through mobile service, devices and residential connectivity. Business broadens the offering through enterprise networks and managed services, but it does not determine the consolidated revenue base to the same degree.
How do Fios and mobile plans shape Verizon’s revenue base?
Mobile plans anchor recurring service demand, while Fios adds residential internet, video and voice. Hardware sales and connected-device access add transaction-driven revenue around that recurring connectivity base.
Why can Verizon generate cash while carrying heavy debt?
Operating cash flow has remained well above capital spending across the reported periods, leaving cash after network investment. Even so, debt towers over liquid resources, making continued cash conversion essential rather than optional.
What would confirm Verizon’s wireless service outlook?
Confirmation would come from improving wireless service revenue, continued mobility and broadband service growth, and revenue meeting expectations without sacrificing cash after capital spending. Repeated revenue misses or weaker operating cash generation would challenge that narrative.

The 80 rows below are exactly the facts the evidence-backed sections of this page printed — the 10-second verdict, the MoonshotScore, price and market value, the five questions with their receipts, and the records behind this page. Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
