AT&T vs Verizon: revenue, margins and growth

The two largest US wireless and broadband carriers.

Below: each company's latest quarter against the same quarter a year earlier, and its valuation at the latest close. For the rest (segments, risks, five-year trends), connect Clarifo to ChatGPT and ask: every answer cites the filing it came from.

Latest quarter

AT&T and Verizon: latest quarter

Each company's latest reported quarter against the same quarter a year earlier, in its reporting currency. Quarters are the companies' own fiscal quarters. Growth and margins are computed from the reported figures.

MetricAT&TQ2/2026VerizonQ3/2026
Revenue–34.3+1.5%
Operating profit (EBIT)–8.7+6.7%
Operating margin–25.2%+1.2 pp
Profit before tax–6.8+4.4%
Net profit0.25.2+5.0%
Earnings per share–1.25+6.8%
Operating cash flow–11.5+2.2%
Return on equity, 12 months–15.4%
Equity ratio–25.8%-1.6 pp

Amounts in billions of each company's reporting currency (AT&T: SEK, Verizon: USD); earnings per share in the same currency. The smaller line is the change from the same quarter a year earlier (pp = percentage points).

The two companies' latest quarters are different periods, because their fiscal years end on different dates or one has reported more recently.

Valuation

AT&T vs Verizon valuation
