Verizon Communications Inc. saw its stock plummet over 5.50% after a downgrade from Goldman Sachs and disappointing subscriber figures, as the company lost 292,000 postpaid consumers in the latest quarter. Despite these challenges, Verizon is pushing forward with plans to accelerate its 5G Ultra Wideband expansion to cover 175 million people by the end of 2022, in partnership with Oracle. However, the company's shrinking profitability and growing competition raise questions about its future market positioning.
