Rhea AI VZ FY2025 2026-08-29

Steady cash generation meets a capital-heavy balance sheet, while financing costs restrain how much revenue growth reaches net income.

Net margin recovered from 9.0% in FY2023 to 12.7% in FY2025, but that rebound did not produce a larger cash harvest. Operating cash flow was roughly $37B in both years, while depreciation and amortization reached $18.3B in FY2025, indicating that reported earnings and cash generation are not moving in lockstep.

The margin recovery is incomplete: FY2025 revenue reached $138.2B while operating margin held at 21.2%, below FY2021's 24.3%. Meanwhile, interest expense rose from $3.5B in FY2021 to $6.7B in FY2025, helping explain why net profitability remains below its earlier level.

The business is asset-heavy: $404.3B of assets supported FY2025 revenue of $138.2B, so returns depend on converting a large asset base into recurring cash. A 0.9x current ratio alongside 1.3x debt-to-equity shows that short-term obligations remain tight and leverage is still material, despite improvement from earlier periods.

Financial Health Signals

Financial Health Score 39/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2025. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six.

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Verizon Communications Inc.'s business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Verizon Communications Inc. has an operating margin of 21.2%, meaning the company retains $21 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This strong profitability earns a score of 88/100, reflecting efficient cost management and pricing power. This is down from 21.3% the prior year.

Growth

Verizon Communications Inc.'s revenue grew a modest 2.5% year-over-year to $138.2B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 36/100.

Leverage

Verizon Communications Inc. has elevated debt relative to equity (D/E of 1.32), meaning the company relies heavily on borrowed funds. This high leverage results in a low score of 25/100, reflecting increased financial risk.

Liquidity

Verizon Communications Inc.'s current ratio of 0.91 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 15/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Altman Z-Score Distress

1.31

Interest Coverage Adequate

4.37x

Verizon Communications Inc. earns $4.37 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($29.3B vs $6.7B). This adequate coverage means the company can meet its interest obligations, but has limited cushion if earnings fall.
