EPS beat and higher 2026 guidance tend to support multiple expansion or multiple re-rating, even with a revenue miss; near-term stock reaction is mixed by analyst target cuts, but improved cash flow and AI-fiber growth thesis can sustain upside.
What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Verizon delivered a mixed Q3: earnings beat at $1.31 per share but revenue missed estimates at $34.313 billion. The company raised its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $5.04-$5.06, signaling improving margins and cash flow amid an ongoing transformation.
