Gregory Williams has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Verizon’s strong financial performance and strategic financial management. The company reported better-than-expected results in the second quarter of 2025, with significant improvements in EBITDA and free cash flow, largely attributed to favorable tax reforms. These financial gains have allowed Verizon to allocate additional resources towards debt reduction, which is crucial for its upcoming acquisition plans.
Despite a competitive market environment, Verizon has shown resilience through effective cost management and strategic pricing, which have helped maintain solid margins. The company has also raised its EBITDA guidance, although conservatively, indicating potential for further growth. Williams acknowledges the challenges in subscriber growth but remains optimistic about Verizon’s financial strategies and market positioning, which underpin the Buy rating.
In another report released yesterday, Citi also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $48.00 price target.
