Verizon (NYSE:VZ) Q3 earnings are out and the wireless company isn’t seeing much movement from VZ stock Friday following the release. That’s likely due to its adjusted EPS of $1.25 and a revenue of $32.90 billion. These both just barely beat out Wall Street’s estimates of $1.24 and $32.75 billion.
Here’s what else investors need to know about the Verizon Q3 earnings report.
- Adjusted EPS is up 2.46% from $1.22 in the same period of the year prior.
- Revenue comes in roughly 1% higher than what was reported in the third quarter of 2018.
- Part of the successful Verizon Q3 earnings report has to do with its growing consumer phone users.
- The company notes that it saw this increase by 239,000 customers during the quarter.
- For comparison, this segment saw an increase of 112,000 during the same time last year.

Going into the fourth quarter, we are energized by the strong performance of the business and we are confident in our strategy to drive value for our customers and growth for our shareholders.”
