Verizon (VZ, $51.76) beats Q1 earnings expectations

Verizon (VZ, $51.76) beats Q1 earnings expectations

Verizon Communications  posted first quarter earnings that beat expectations. However, the telecom company lowered its full-year forecast for wireless revenues and profit growth.

The company’s adjusted non-GAAP earnings for the three months ending in March grew +3% from the year-ago quarter to $1.35 per share, largely in-line with analysts’ expectations.

Revenues rose +2.1% from last year to $33.6 billion, just ahead of analysts' estimates of $33.55 billion.

Looking ahead, Verizon expects 2022 financial year adjusted earnings to come in at the lower end of its prior forecast of a 2% to 3% growth rate. It projects  revenues growth at the lower end of its 9% to 10% forecast.

AtlasClear Holdings (ATCH) shares fell roughly 25.5% over the last 30 days, declining from $0.1881 on October 2 to $0.1401 on October 30. The pullback extended a longer downtrend that has kept the stock trading well below the $1.00 NYSE American minimum, keeping continued listing-compliance risk in focus.
The central target of $1,620 is the arithmetic mean of verified, current analyst price targets, rounded to a clean level; it is not a single firm's forecast or a guarantee. At a recent price of about $690 , reaching $1,620 would require a gain of roughly 135% , a very large move by any standard.
NVDA fell -2.10% to $216.66 during regular trading, down from a prior close of $221.30. Primary catalyst: hotter-than-expected September CPI data reignited Fed rate-hike fears, raising borrowing costs for AI infrastructure buildouts.
XRPN fell -9.70% in early regular-session trading on Tuesday, sliding from Monday's $10.41 close to $9.40. The decline follows a November 9 SEC prospectus disclosing a committed equity facility with Cantor to sell up to 5.2 million new Class A shares at 97% of the volume-weighted average price, implying up to roughly 16.7% potential dilution.
The $1.14 central target is not an analyst consensus; it is the all-cash merger consideration in GoPro, Inc. (GPRO) 's pending deal with Starman Optical, agreed in September 2026. With the stock trading near $0.88, reaching $1.14 would require a move of roughly 29.5%.
