The wireless carrier added 184,000 postpaid phone net subscribers in the second quarter, well above analyst forecasts

Investing.com -- Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:VZ) on Friday reported second quarter results that exceeded adjusted earnings expectations while revenue fell short of analyst estimates, with shares rising 2.7% following the announcement.

Verizon Communications gained a net 184,000 postpaid phone connections in the second quarter, beating Wall Street’s expectations on a metric that gauges new lucrative customers.

Verizon raised its annual forecast for adjusted profit and free cash flow, as the network provider's latest unlimited 5G ‌plans and rewards programs helped it add more wireless subscribers ‌than expected in the June quarter. The company is in the midst of a strategic transition under new CEO Dan Schulman, rolling out simplified mobile plans, a new loyalty program and bundled wireless-broadband offerings to improve customer additions after trailing rivals in subscriber growth. Verizon gained ‌184,000 monthly-bill paying wireless ⁠subscribers in the second quarter, surpassing estimates of 103,900 additions by analysts polled by FactSet.
