Verizon CEO Dan Schulman boosts customer growth and cash flow but faces revenue and debt challenges.

In his first year as Verizon CEO, Dan Schulman significantly improved postpaid customer growth and cash flow, with record profits and reduced churn. However, revenue growth remains modest at 1.5%, equipment sales declined, and the company carries $166 billion in debt. Schulman’s strategy includes cost cuts, AI contracts, and fiber expansion, but competition from satellite services like Starlink poses a threat. Investors will watch Verizon’s 2027 outlook and service revenue growth in the coming quarters.

Verizon Communications Inc (VZ) trades at USD 43.73 on Pluang as of Oct 28, 2026 21:51 WIB, down 0.46% for the day. Despite CEO Dan Schulman's efforts to boost customer growth and cash flow, the stock shows a cautious sentiment with 63% of Pluang orders selling and a dividend yield of 6.44%. Investors appear to weigh the company's $166 billion debt and competition from satellite services like Starlink against its solid market cap of $182.09 billion.
