Buy

Reason

Goldman Sachs analyst James Schneider expects Verizon's stock to hold its gains following a quarter in which headline financial metrics were solid, with 2025 guidance raises for EBITDA and free cash flow. The firm believes wireless trends were better than feared, despite management not reiterating its prior guidance for improving net addition metrics. Given the guidance raise set against expectations for a reiteration, Goldman thinks the stock could outperform in the short term as it believes investors were negatively positioned given slower growth expectations. Goldman views Verizon's strong financial results in EBITDA and free cash flow as encouraging. On the negative side, the wireless environment remains competitive, and the broadband market appears relatively weak overall given a low move rate environment, the firm adds. Goldman has a Buy rating on the shares.

Morgan Stanley resumed coverage of Verizon with an Equal Weight rating and $47 price target. Morgan Stanley has balanced view of Verizon's "attractive" valuation and upside to free cash flow from bonus depreciation against a modest EBITDA growth outlook and risk to consumer wireless net adds expectations, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm could get more bullish if wireless churn improves and fiber expansion accelerates.
