Verizon盈利升預期 擊退用戶流失危機




美國電訊商Verizon上調全年盈利預測,受惠高端計劃需求強勁及稅制改革

美國電訊巨頭Verizon近日調高了全年盈利的下限,主要得益於高端手機計劃需求強勁,以及特朗普政府新稅法帶來的稅務優惠。公司股價週一上升3.5%,同時公佈的第二季度銷售額和盈利均超出華爾街預期,無線服務收入同比增長2.2%。

競爭激烈下的市場策略

面對AT&T、T-Mobile及寬頻供應商Comcast和Charter的激烈競爭,Verizon推出了價格鎖定促銷及寬頻與無線服務捆綁優惠,以穩住用戶群。財務主管Tony Skiadas表示,新的美國稅改政策允許企業即時全額扣除部分新設備成本,這對Verizon的財務狀況帶來積極影響。

他估計,今年的自由現金流將因稅改增加15億至20億美元,促使公司將自由現金流預測從此前的175億至185億美元上調至195億至205億美元。公司亦將2025年調整後利潤增長預期由原先的0%至3%調升至1%至3%。

Wells Fargo分析師早前指出,Verizon在主要美國電訊商中繳納的現金稅款最高,稅改將為整個行業帶來可觀的財務提振。同日,AT&T和T-Mobile股價均上升2.3%。

用戶流失帶來隱憂

儘管整體表現良好,Verizon第二季度無線付費用戶數卻意外減少9,000人,主要因年初加價引致用戶流失。FactSet調查的分析師原本預期用戶數會增加13,000人。

投資光纖網絡推動增長

為了推動業務增長,Verizon及其競爭對手加強對光纖資產的投資,以應對消費者數據使用量持續增加。Verizon於五月獲得美國電訊監管機構批准以200億美元收購光纖網絡供應商Frontier,條件是終止其多元化計劃。

專注互聯網服務策略奏效,Verizon第二季度錄得29.3萬寬頻淨新增用戶。整體收入達345億美元,超過市場預期的337.4億美元,調整後每股盈利1.22美元亦高於預期。

評論與啟示

Verizon此次調升盈利預測,反映出其在高端市場策略的成功及稅改帶來的實質利好,但用戶流失卻暴露出價格敏感性的挑戰。當競爭對手同樣積極搶佔市場,Verizon未來如何在價格與服務質素間找到平衡,將是關鍵。

此外,光纖網絡的投資顯示電訊業正逐步轉型,從傳統無線服務向高速寬頻和數據服務擴展。這種策略不僅有助抵禦無線用戶流失,亦為長遠增長奠定基礎。然而,200億美元的收購金額龐大,整合風險及成本控制將成為投資者關注焦點。

整體而言,Verizon的表現和策略反映了美國電訊業在新稅法及技術變革下的動態調整。香港及其他市場的電訊商亦可從中借鑒,特別是在如何利用政策利好推動資本開支及創新服務,以維持競爭力和增長潛力。

An intense, close-up portrait set in a smoky, underground jazz club or speakeasy. The subject is the 'Boss' of an information network, hiding in plain sight. The scene is dark, defined by heavy shadows and cigarette smoke swirling in the air. A single spotlight hits the subject from the side, creating a classic 'Rembrandt triangle' on the cheek of [exactly face uploaded image 100%]. He wears a sharp, pinstripe suit with a silk tie, loosened at the collar. He holds a glass of amber whiskey, the condensation rendered in 8K detail. The camera uses a macro 100mm lens, focusing entirely on the eyes and the texture of the skin, blurring out the background patrons into abstract shapes. The mood is conspiratorial, sophisticated, and deeply atmospheric. Certainly! Here’s an enhanced, detailed, and artistic prompt tailored for an AI image generator:

---

Create a highly detailed, artistic portrait of a young East Asian woman embodying a “Imada Mio-inspired” doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉). She has large, sparkling round eyes full of warmth and expression, a delicate V-shaped face with soft contours, and subtly flushed, rosy cheeks. Her lips are naturally plump and softly tinted, and her facial expression combines innocence, playful energy, and a touch of flirtatiousness.

Her hair is long, dark brown, and appears tousled as if she has just awakened—soft, voluminous, and gently messy (剛睡醒的凌亂感). Stray strands fall around her delicate face and shoulders, capturing the texture and natural flow of freshly mussed morning hair.

She is dressed in an oversized, translucent white men’s button-down shirt (男友風白襯衫), with the top buttons casually undone to reveal delicate collarbones and a hint of bare skin beneath, evoking a sensual yet pure “bottomless” (下衣失蹤風格) look. The shirt drapes gracefully, with natural folds and slight translucency, enhancing the softness and allure of the scene.

The overall mood is inspired by elegant Japanese Gravure photobook aesthetics (寫真集風格), radiating a Pure & Sexy charm. Use soft, luminous, high-key natural lighting to bathe her in a gentle glow, imparting a creamy, flawless, and porcelain-like skin texture. Emulate the timeless Fujifilm PRO 400H film tones with pastel coloration, subtle pinks and blues, and a carefully balanced color palette, giving the image a dreamy and refined photographic quality. The composition should feel intimate and inviting, expertly capturing both innocence and understated seduction, with fine attention to detail and artistry. A whimsical, artistic scene set in a classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng (茶餐廳): A charming cat sits comfortably at a small table, elegantly sipping a traditional Hong Kong-style milk tea from a delicate glass. The cat's fur is soft and expressive, and its posture is relaxed yet attentive, suggesting it is a regular at the tea shop. The restaurant interior is bustling yet cozy, adorned with retro posters, old ceiling fans, patterned floor tiles, and Formica tables reflecting the local culture. Sunlight streams through the window, casting warm highlights on the cat and creating a vivid play of shadows. Details include steaming milk tea cups, egg tarts and pineapple buns on the table, and waiters in classic uniforms moving in the background. The overall color palette is rich and atmospheric, blending nostalgia with the lively charm of Hong Kong.
