Passive 13G shows a 5.1% Verizon stake by State Street.
State Street Corporation reports a 5.1% beneficial stake in Verizon, totaling 215,538,375 shares as of 09/30/2025. The filing lists shared voting power over 132,838,580 shares and shared dispositive power over 215,490,064 shares, with no sole powers.
This is a Schedule 13G, indicating a passive intent. The certification states holdings are in the ordinary course of business and not for changing or influencing control. Several SSGA advisory subsidiaries are identified, consistent with institutional index and advisory activity.
Because this is a routine ownership disclosure, it does not signal a transaction or capital change. Any market impact depends on future portfolio decisions by holders; the excerpt provides no timing beyond the 09/30/2025 event date.
