Latest Activity
Verizon reports at 7:00 AM ET with six straight quarters of EPS beats on the line, against consensus of $1.27 on $34.85 billion in revenue. The number that matters is wireless subscriber momentum, with Starlink's push into US mobile now hanging over the whole group.
All three major US wireless carriers closed down double digits on the same day, a rare sweep for names usually bought as defensive income. Moderna's 13.8% gain topped the board on the other side.
A 4.97% intraday slide to $40.87 is a rare one-day move for a $170 billion dividend anchor that investors own for stability. The $43 open is now the level to reclaim.
All three major US wireless carriers are at the bottom of the board at the open, with T-Mobile down 8.9% and AT&T and Verizon close behind. Optical names lead the other side, Applied Optoelectronics up 8.9%.
Charles E. Phillips, the former Oracle president who went on to run Infor, now has a board seat and a filing obligation at a $191.1 billion telecom hunting for enterprise software growth. His Form 3 means every future trade he makes in the stock is public, and the enterprise playbook he built is now inside Verizon's boardroom.
