Is Verizon Stock Counting On Money That Has Not Arrived Yet?

Verizon Communications (VZ) stock has risen 24% in the past year, but revenue has not yet followed. The company scrapped fees and launched new plans, reducing churn and costs. Q2 2026 revenue fell 0.7% year-over-year to $34.3 billion, with equipment revenue down nearly 20%. Management expects service revenue growth to improve and new contracts to boost revenue in 2027. The stock's high price may be at risk if revenue targets are not met.
