Frequently asked questions
What is Verizon Communications Inc's stock price?
Verizon Communications Inc (VZ) trades at $46.94, on a P/E of 11.7x and a P/S of 1.4x. Those multiples show what the market is paying for each dollar of earnings and sales, which is the real starting point for judging whether the price is reasonable.
Is Verizon Communications Inc overvalued?
Verizon Communications Inc carries a Smart Value Score of 69/100 (Grade B), which we rate Buy. That score blends growth, quality, and valuation into one read. On valuation specifically, our conservative DCF puts intrinsic value at $36.77 against the $46.94 price, so on cash flow terms the market is paying a premium for Verizon Communications Inc's growth. The Buy rating reflects that growth and quality, while the DCF flags that the price already assumes a lot.
What is the price target of Verizon Communications Inc (VZ)?
The 12-month analyst consensus target is $50,160.00, about 106759.8% above the current $46.94. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.
What is the future stock price of VZ by 2030?
Our research-backed model puts the 2030 base case at $464.36, built from revenue projections, a growth-adjusted P/S multiple, net debt, and share dilution. It is a scenario rather than a prediction, and the bull and bear cases around it matter more than the single number when you are sizing a position.
What is the intrinsic value of Verizon Communications Inc (VZ)?
Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $36.77, a -23.4% margin of safety versus today's $46.94. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.
What is Verizon Communications Inc's revenue?
Verizon Communications Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $139.15B, and our model projects it reaching about $162.54B by 2030. Revenue scale anchors the valuation multiples and shows whether growth is reaching the top line, so it is best read alongside margin and growth trends to see if that revenue is getting more profitable over time.
Altman Z-Score?
Verizon Communications Inc's Altman Z-Score is 1.11, which places it in the distress. The Altman Z-Score gauges bankruptcy risk from profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency, and a higher reading points to lower financial distress risk.
