Verizon (US92343V1044) starts the week on the NYSE as a mature telecom name with a strong income profile. The stock remains part of the S&P 500 index and is widely held in US dividend-oriented portfolios.

How analysts rate Verizon

Verizon is commonly covered by more than a dozen major sell-side houses, including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and UBS, which maintain regular views on the shares and the broader US telecom sector.

Across these houses, the consensus rating on Verizon tends to sit close to a neutral stance, with a mixed distribution between Buy, Hold and Sell recommendations that reflect moderate growth prospects and a relatively high leverage level compared with some peers.

What the consensus implies

Analysts usually base their Verizon views on a combination of service revenue trends, wireless subscriber additions, churn rates and capital expenditure plans for network upgrades, while factoring in the competitive backdrop against peers like AT&T and T-Mobile US.

Typical consensus models project low-single-digit revenue growth for Verizon over the medium term, coupled with a focus on margin stability and cash generation to support a sizable dividend payout, which has historically produced an above-average yield versus the S&P 500.

How Verizon makes its money

Verizon generates the bulk of its revenue from wireless services, including mobile voice and data plans for consumer and business customers across the United States. It also earns from equipment sales, such as smartphones and accessories, and from wireline broadband and enterprise connectivity services.
