About Verizon Communications INC

Verizon Communications Inc. (ticker VZ) is a major U.S. telecommunications company listed on the NYSE/NASDAQ market in the United States. Formed through the combination of Bell Atlantic and GTE, Verizon has evolved into one of the leading wireless and broadband providers in the U.S., with a brand strongly associated with network quality, reliability and nationwide coverage. Its corporate headquarters is in New York City, while its operational headquarters are in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. ([verizon.com](https://www.verizon.com/about/our-company/verizon-fact-sheet?msockid=25d0f2ae494c6d481855e45f488f6c25)) Verizon’s business model is built around two primary operating segments: Consumer and Business. The Consumer segment offers postpaid and prepaid mobile services, customizable wireless plans, 5G access, and home connectivity products such as Fios Internet and fixed wireless access (FWA). The Business segment serves enterprises, public-sector customers and carriers with wireless and wireline communications services, including data, video, security, managed network services, local and long-distance voice, and IoT-enabled connectivity. Verizon also emphasizes its ability to serve both households and large corporate accounts across the country.

The company continues to highlight the quality and reliability of its 5G network, which is central to its differentiation versus AT&T and T-Mobile. More recently, Verizon’s strategic focus has shifted toward expanding fiber footprint and combining mobile and fixed broadband offerings, a move intended to improve customer retention, drive bundling and support long-term convergence economics.

In 2025, Verizon announced a CEO change, with Hans Vestberg handing leadership to Dan Schulman, while reaffirming the importance of its 5G strategy and the Frontier Communications acquisition as a cornerstone of broadband expansion. In its 2025 results, Verizon reported improved momentum in mobility and broadband, stronger commercial adds, and a larger fiber-plus-fixed-wireless footprint. Taken together, these updates point to a company in operational reset mode, focused on profitable growth, network monetization and deeper convergence across wireless and broadband services.
