Verizon Ranks 120th in Market as 30.69% Volume Surge Fails to Offset 0.77% Stock Decline

On August 28, 2025, Verizon (VZ) saw a trading volume of $690 million, a 30.69% increase from the prior day, ranking it 120th in the market. The stock closed down 0.77%, reflecting a modest decline amid broader sector activity.

Verizon holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and a Momentum Style Score of B, indicating mixed signals for momentum traders. Its VGM Score of B suggests a balanced profile across value, growth, and momentum metrics. Analysts have revised earnings estimates upward six times in the past 60 days, pushing the Zacks Consensus Estimate to $4.70 per share. The stock has also delivered an average earnings surprise of 2.2%, highlighting its reliability in meeting expectations.

As the largest wireless carrier in North America, Verizon’s business model focuses on wireless and wireline services, including 5G expansion and enterprise solutions. Recent earnings revisions and stable fundamentals position it as a defensive play in a sector marked by regulatory and technological shifts. However, its Hold rating and lack of strong growth catalysts may limit near-term upside.
