Verizon is projecting a robust growth trajectory for 2026, with significant increases in retail postpaid phone net additions and service revenue. The company's optimistic forecast highlights its strategic initiatives aimed at expanding its market presence, and the material points to an encouraging trend.
Verizon's Retail Postpaid Phone Net Additions Forecast
The telecommunications giant anticipates total retail postpaid phone net additions to fall between 750,000 and 10 million by 2026. This expected growth is set to contribute to a 20% to 30% increase in total mobility and broadband service revenue, potentially reaching around $93 billion.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) Target
In addition to revenue growth, Verizon is targeting an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) forecast of 490 to 495, which represents a substantial year-over-year growth of 40% to 50%. This ambitious financial outlook underscores the company's commitment to enhancing shareholder value.
Strategic Acquisition of Frontier
A key component of Verizon's strategy is the recent acquisition of Frontier, which will significantly expand its fiber access to over 30 million homes and businesses. This move is part of Verizon's broader goal to improve national mobility and broadband convergence, positioning the company for sustained growth in the competitive telecommunications landscape.
