<p class="has-drop-cap">Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) has started 2024 with financial resilience and strategic growth, particularly in its wireless service revenue and broadband momentum. The <a href="https://www.verizon.com/about/sites/default/files/1Q2-2024-Earnings-News-Release.pdf" target="_blank" aria-label="first quarter of the year (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">first quarter of the year</a> saw the company achieving a slight uptick in operating income, reaching $33.0 billion, marking a 0.2 percent increase from the same period in 2023.</p> 
<h3 id="total-wireless-service-revenue-up-3-3-year-over-year">Total Wireless Service Revenue Up 3.3% Year-Over-Year</h3> 
<p>Despite a modest rise, this growth underscores Verizon’s ability to navigate the ever-changing telecommunications landscape. The period also witnessed a 3.3 percent year-over-year increase in total wireless service revenue, amounting to $19.5 billion, alongside significant broadband net additions, including a notable performance in fixed wireless net additions by Verizon Business.</p> 
<p>The company’s financial health is further evidenced by its solid cash flow and adjusted EBITDA expansion. Although cash flow from operations decreased from $8.3 billion in the first quarter of 2023 to $7.1 billion in the same period in 2024, Verizon managed to increase its free cash flow to $2.7 billion, up from $2.3 billion in the previous year. </p>

<h3 id="verizon-beats-eps-expectations-misses-slightly-on-revenue">Verizon Beats EPS Expectations, Misses Slightly on Revenue</h3> 
<p>When juxtaposed with the expectations set for the quarter, Verizon’s performance presents a nuanced picture. Analysts had anticipated earnings per share (<a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">EPS</a>) of $1.12 and revenue of $33.23 billion. The actual EPS stood at $1.09, with adjusted EPS excluding special items reaching $1.15, slightly below the forecasted figures.</p> 
<p>Similarly, the reported revenue of $33.0 billion, though showing growth, fell marginally short of expectations. These discrepancies highlight Verizon’s challenges, including the competitive pressures in the telecommunications sector and the ongoing need to adapt to shifting consumer behaviors and technological advancements.</p> 
<h3 id="verizon-expects-wireless-service-revenue-growth-of-2-to-3-5-for-remainder-of-2024">Verizon Expects Wireless Service Revenue Growth of 2% to 3.5% for Remainder of 2024</h3> 
<p>Verizon remains optimistic about its trajectory for the remainder of 2024. The company expects total wireless service revenue growth of 2.0 to 3.5 percent and an adjusted EBITDA growth of 1.0 to 3.0 percent. Additionally, Verizon has set an adjusted EPS guidance of $4.50 to $4.70 and plans to invest between $17.0 billion and $17.5 billion in capital expenditures. <br><br>These projections reflect Verizon’s confidence in its strategic initiatives, including expanding its 5G network, enhancing broadband offerings, and capitalizing on emerging opportunities in digital transformation. </p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
