Important Information

Beer Score is an educational indicator, not investment advice. It measures the model-estimated gap between a stock's current market price and an estimated intrinsic value derived from public financial data. A low Beer Score does not mean "sell" and a high score does not mean "buy." Model output varies with assumptions (WACC, growth rate, terminal growth, margins).

Prices shown are indicative reference prices for educational purposes only and are not sourced from an official exchange feed.

About This Valuation

Why does Verizon have a Beer Score of 69?
Verizon (VZ) scores 69 because the stock is currently trading roughly 44% above its estimated intrinsic value of $34. With $18.7B in annual free cash flow and $134.0B in revenue, the company's fundamentals partially justify the current market price of $49.01 per share. The Beer Score reflects that 69% of the price is backed by estimated fundamental value.
Is VZ overvalued or undervalued?
Based on our DCF model, Verizon appears moderately overvalued. The estimated intrinsic value of $34 compared to the current price of $49.01 carries a 31% speculation premium. This is a model-based estimate using 7.5% WACC and 2% projected growth — not a buy or sell recommendation. The actual fair value depends on assumptions that may change with new earnings data or market conditions.
What assumptions drive the $34 intrinsic value?
The DCF model uses a 7.5% weighted average cost of capital and projects 2% annual revenue growth over five years. Terminal growth is set at 2%. Starting from $18.7B in current free cash flow, these assumptions produce an estimated intrinsic value of $34 per share. The model is most sensitive to the growth rate and WACC inputs — small changes in either significantly alter the output.
What could change Verizon's Beer Score?
Verizon's score could improve if 5G fixed wireless broadband subscriber growth accelerates, offsetting legacy wireline declines. Heavy network capex limits free cash flow growth despite revenue stability. Competition from T-Mobile on pricing and network quality pressures wireless ARPU. The dividend yield provides a floor, but debt reduction pace determines financial flexibility for growth investments.
