NEW YORK, NY — Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) today announced exceptional second-quarter 2026 financial and operational results, showcasing how its customer-first strategic transformation is driving sustainable growth and momentum. Intense operational discipline and improved unit economics translated directly into subscriber growth, lower churn, strong operating cash flow and industry-leading free cash flow¹ generation. With these results, Verizon raised its full-year guidance for the second consecutive quarter. Verizon also expanded its full-year share buyback target to up to $4.5 billion.
“We’re putting customers at the center of every decision we make,” said Dan Schulman, Verizon CEO. “With recent updates including our new Simplicity plans, Verizon One converged offerings, and an industry-leading loyalty program, we are gaining subscribers and earning long-term retention based on real value rather than subsidized promotions. Our second-quarter results provide clear, compelling evidence that this transformation is driving a structural inflection point across our entire business. We are accelerating across our key metrics, achieving a step-change in churn reduction while lowering our customer acquisition and retention costs. By compounding lower churn with healthier unit economics, we have generated the strongest operating position we have seen in years. Our core connectivity business is gaining momentum, and with the emergence of AI infrastructure revenue, we are fundamentally reshaping Verizon’s growth trajectory.”
2Q 2026 Highlights
Mobility and Broadband
•Mobility and broadband service revenue reached approximately $23.4 billion, representing a 2.8 percent increase year-over-year.
•In second-quarter 2026, Verizon reported total postpaid phone net additions of 184,000, with the best Consumer second-quarter postpaid phone net additions in five years.
•Total core prepaid2 net additions were 73,000, representing eight consecutive quarters of positive net additions.
•Verizon delivered 348,000 broadband net additions in second-quarter 2026, a year-over-year increase of 12.3 percent. This includes total fixed wireless access net additions of 193,000 and 155,000 fiber broadband net additions.
•Verizon now has approximately 17.1 million fixed wireless access and fiber broadband connections.

Consolidated Financial Results
•Total operating revenue was $34.3 billion, down 0.7 percent year-over-year, as sequential improvement in mobility and broadband service revenue was offset by a nearly 20 percent, or over $1.2 billion, decline in equipment revenue. This decline resulted primarily from significantly lower upgrade volumes, as the average time customers keep their mobile devices continues to increase, and the company's strategic decision to reduce spending on device subsidies. It is another demonstration of Verizon’s more disciplined approach as the company structurally evolves its business model.
