12:05 PM EDT, 07/21/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

VZ reported Q2 2025 revenue growth of 5.2% to $34.5B, driven by 6.9% Consumer segment growth and 2.2% wireless service revenue increase. The company faced mixed subscriber trends with 51k postpaid phone net losses in Consumer (improved from 109k losses prior year) and 42k Business additions (down from 135k prior year). Wireless trends are better than we feared, though we still see weakness in consumer broadband, which we believe will be an industry-wide trend. VZ raised its full-year guidance for adjusted EBITDA, EPS, and FCF, reflecting confidence in its strategy execution. The company's broadband business showed strong momentum with 293k net additions, reaching 12.9M total connections (+12.2% Y/Y). U.S. tax reform is expected to boost FCF by $1.5B-$2B this year through immediate equipment write-offs. Competition among major wireless carriers is intensifying, leading VZ to deploy price-lock promotions and broadband bundles for customer retention.
