Verizon price target cut to $50 after SpaceX buys wireless spectrum for Starlink Mobile.

Scotiabank lowered Verizon's price target from $51.50 to $50 following SpaceX's acquisition of 14 MHz of wireless spectrum in the 800 MHz band for its Starlink Mobile network. This deal intensifies competition in the U.S. telecom market, pressuring Verizon and AT&T shares. The spectrum purchase aims to enhance Starlink Mobile's capabilities as a nationwide carrier, pending FCC approval. Despite this, Verizon's stock showed a slight gain, trading at $46.35 with a market cap of about $193.5 billion.

Following the news of SpaceX's spectrum deal, Verizon shares on Pluang have dropped 6.47% to USD 42.69 as of Oct 09, 2026 20:41 WIB, below its 52-week high of USD 51.45. AT&T also declined by 7.75% to USD 22.70, with a market cap of USD 170.42 billion. Despite the sell-off, most Pluang users remain buyers, with 86% buying Verizon and 100% buying AT&T shares.
