VZShares Verizon are falling after the company reported continued customer attrition and revenue declines.
According to a statement on Monday ,Verizon reported earnings per share of$1.15, beating analysts' expectations. However, operating income did not beat Wall Street forecasts , which remained at $33 billion, only about 0,2 % higher than the previous year.
Verizon has tried to reverse the decline in customers by offering premium plans, but it looks like this strategy is not entirely successful. The company lost 158,000 retail wireless customers in the first quarter of this year, which was less than the 212,900 expected . However, total wireless service revenue increased by 3,3 % to $19.5 billion.
Fixed wireless Verizon's is booming. Total broadband additions were 437 000, the most in more than a decade. The service, which offers Internet speeds comparable to cable, is becoming increasingly popular. 📶
Verizon currently has a solid dividend yield 6,8 %. It strikes me as a very interesting player in the telecom market.
What do you think of this company?
I also follow the company, it's great that they are trying to innovate and how technology is changing, but the question is, can they handle the change and the competition, the loss of customers is a pretty unpleasant thing.
I have this company in my portfolio, and I was looking at the attrition, and it's actually expected, and now it was less than expected. For the rest of the year, the company is forecasting positive results, so we'll see.
Really, yeah, so if it was kind of counted on and it's just some kind of reaction to probably a possible restructure in the company, then the drop is a good opportunity to jump in. I'm starting to think about that a lot. 😊
For me, a great company and I see the stock is at a pretty nice price. I'll check it out, thanks for the info.
Yep, they are at interesting prices at the moment.
Are you buying?
I plan on pricing it at $38-35 so we'll see.
