The stock has gained 8.7% during the current six-session streak, which would mark Verizon’s best six-day stretch since April 2, 2020, when it increased 10.6%, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

Verizon spent much of 2022 in Wall Street’s doghouse after a string of subscriber losses that were at odds with what the company’s main peers, T-Mobile US Inc.
TMUS,
+2.83%
and AT&T
T,
+1.67%,
were showing.

The company lost subscribers in its consumer business in each of the first three quarters of 2022, but Chief Executive Hans Vestberg recently indicated that trends were improving. Verizon’s goal was to record positive consumer-subscriber trends in the fourth quarter, and Vestberg shared at a Citi investor conference earlier this week that the company had achieved that target.

“We expect Verizon to remain competitive to sustain and possibly improve its gross add share by going local, while we believe the company is staying disciplined on the balance between volume and ARPU [average revenue per user] to focus on net service revenue growth,” Citi analyst Michael Rollins wrote following the event.

Though he has a neutral rating on Verizon’s stock, Rollins noted that the “positive commentary on [the fourth quarter] may be helpful for the share price to trade higher near-term.”

At the Citi event, the carriers also offered views on improved supply conditions for high-end smartphones. Apple Inc.

warned last fall that COVID-19 restrictions in China would lead to lower iPhone 14 Pro shipments than it initially anticipated, but the three wireless companies indicated at the event that supply constraints had eased by the end of the fourth quarter.
