June quarter sets the tone

The latest quarter showed revenue of $34.25 billion, down from $34.50 billion a year earlier, while operating profit came in at $7.18 billion versus $8.17 billion in the prior-year period.

Net income was $3.95 billion in the June quarter, compared with $5.12 billion a year earlier, and the company posted $1.30 in EPS against a $1.27 estimate cited in recent market commentary.

Income remains the anchor

Verizon's quarterly dividend stood at $0.7075 per share, equal to an annualized $2.83 and a 5.7 percent yield. The payout keeps the income case central even as revenue and profit moved lower year over year.

Analysts quoted in recent market coverage put the consensus rating at Hold, with an average price target of $50.84 and FY 2026 EPS guidance at 4.990 to 5.040.

More on Verizon services

Wireless service, broadband, and business connectivity remain the core of the group's revenue base. Those lines matter because they determine whether the next quarter can stabilize margins after the June-period profit decline.
