What happened: Verizon’s growth concerns trigger market selloff
Verizon has warned of weaker Q1 wireless subscriber growth due to intensified competition, triggering a telecom stock selloff. Verizon shares fell over 7%, while AT&T and T-Mobile dropped 5.3% and 4%, respectively.
Chief Revenue Officer Frank Boulben noted that competitors continued aggressive promotions even as Verizon scaled back after a strong December. As the U.S. telecom market nears saturation, providers rely on bundled 5G and streaming deals, raising profitability concerns. AT&T also reported higher subscriber churn in January.
Verizon expects a slow start to 2025 phone upgrades due to economic uncertainty and limited device innovation but remains optimistic about single-digit annual growth. It aims to exceed last year’s 900,000 postpaid additions with its myPlan offerings. See also: Carla Sanderson.
