Verizon Communications (VZ) trades near $48 a share and generated free cash worth 10.0% of its market value over the last twelve months. The median S&P 500 company manages 4.5%. A gap that wide usually means one of two things: a bargain, or a business the market expects to shrink. Verizon is neither, quite. The cash is real, and it is not all yours.

T-Mobile US (TMUS) stock fell 5.6% on 17 September to about $166, the lowest it has traded in a year. One session is not the problem: over the past twelve months the stock returned -28.5% while the S&P 500 returned 17.0%, and the year is what matters. A rising market did not do that. What changed is inside the business, and part of it is deliberate.

Wall Street's quick math on T-Mobile's rate hike exposure produces a frightening number, but that number depends on a reading of the debt stack that the actual quarterly filing does not support.

Getting a new iPhone won't be cheap.

The Morning Bull - US Market Morning Update Friday, Sep, 18 2026 US stock futures are higher this morning, with S&P 500 contracts up about 0.8% and Nasdaq 100 futures gaining close to 1%. The move comes after the US Federal Reserve lifted its key interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to a range of 3.75% to 4.00%, and signalled that borrowing costs could climb further. That rate affects everything from credit card bills to mortgage repayments. At the same time, August retail sales rose 1.2%,...

T-Mobile is giving customers another way to use their iPhones, but it comes with an unexpected trade-off.

U.S. wireless carrier promotions should provide a boost for Apple iPhone 18 Pro sales, a Wall Street analyst says. Apple stock rose slightly.

AT&T (T) is up 4.4% over the last five trading days, while the S&P 500 is down 1.1%. Strength in a weak tape pulls money in. That five-day move is not the question. The question is what holding AT&T does to your money when the market moves, because over the past year it has tended to go the other way.

Comcast (CMCSA) generated free cash over the past twelve months worth 20.1% of its market value. The median S&P 500 company manages 4.4%. Part of that gap is Comcast's debt. The rest means one of two things: the market has made a mistake, or the cash is about to get smaller. Comcast keeps losing broadband customers, and that is the market's answer.

The package consists of Prime Video and niche streaming platforms - AMC+, BritBox, MGM+, PBS Masterpiece, and Starz - for $29.99 a month, offering a savings of nearly 39% vs. subscribing to each service individually.

Verizon Communications (VZ) has had a good year. The stock returned about 24% over the past twelve months against roughly 19% for the S&P 500, and at about $51 it sits at the top of its one-year range. The turnaround is real. What is not real yet is the revenue meant to pay for it.

AT&T (T) is running its largest year ever for fiber expansion, a plan for 8 million new locations, of which over 4 million were acquired from Lumen, and asking shareholders to keep funding it. It expects $23 billion to $24 billion of capital investment in 2026, and the roughly $18 billion of buybacks and dividends is essentially all the free cash flow left. Management used to justify the build product by product; with the customers, it was already winning. The lead now is one blended subscriber

A record jump in the price of cellular phone services helped tip a key measure of US inflation above forecasts, likely sealing the deal for a Federal Reserve interest-rate increase next week.

Verizon Communications (VZ) shares sit at the top of a $36.56-to-$50.59 52-week range, up 22.7% over the past twelve months. The exciting part of that story is the dark fiber Verizon has begun selling into AI infrastructure builds. The part that can actually move the stock is duller. Verizon has finally started keeping its customers.

Comcast (CMCSA) has lost 19.2% over the past year, while the S&P 500 returned 18.5%, and the reason given is usually broadband: 167,000 subscribers gone in the June quarter. The stock trades at 0.7 times sales, its own ten-year low. The number that argues the other way is not an earnings figure. Free cash flow over the last twelve months ran at about 159% of reported net income.
