Verizon Model Update

We have updated the model following results. While our financial estimates are moderately higher in the near-term (and free cash flow is much higher from tax reform), most KPIs are notably lower, and we no longer expect the company to grow Consumer postpaid phones this year. We expect consensus estimates to head in the same directions. We remain neutral on Verizon (new TP: $42; total return 5%).

Mobile and broadband adds were weak. Consumer postpaid phone adds were a touch better than lowered expectations, but business adds were weak. FiOS and FWA adds were also weak. In mobile, gross adds were up sharply, but so was churn.
