Verizon (VZ) Stock Pops After Posting Strong Q2 Earnings, Raised Guidance
July 21 - Shares of Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) rose about 3% on Monday after the company raised its full-year profit outlook and posted better-than-expected second-quarter results, driven by stronger demand for higher-tier wireless plans and broadband growth. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with VZ. Wireless service revenue rose 2% in the April-June period as more customers opted for premium packages that include streaming add-ons like Netflix. Verizon has leaned on bundled offerings and price-lock deals to compete with rivals including AT&T (NYSE:T), T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:TMUS), Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA), and Charter Communications (NASDAQ:CHTR). Still, the company reported a net loss of 9,000 monthly phone subscribers, compared with analyst expectations for a 13,000 gain. Verizon attributed the churn to customer pushback after price increases earlier this year. It continued to be a positive in the broadband performance as it recorded 293,000 net additions during the quarter. It is furthering its fibre infrastructure expansion after the U.S. regulatory green light in May on its $20 billion purchase of Frontier's fibre-optic business in the country. In the agreement, Verizon agreed to scale down on its diversity initiatives. Its quarterly revenue rose to $34.5 billion compared to the $33.74 billion estimate and the adjusted earnings per share stood at $1.22. Verizon has raised its 2025 earnings to an increase of 1-3% and forecasted to increase its free cash from a previous estimate of $19.5 billion to $20.5 billion.

Maximus to Continue Providing Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment Support in West Virginia
Renewed partnership focuses on streamlining access and enhancing customer experience TYSONS, Va., July 21, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Maximus, a leading employer and provider of government services, today announced it has been selected by the West Virginia Department of Human Services (DoHS) to continue serving as the state's enrollment broker for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Since 2015, Maximus has delivered a wide range of enrollment and eligibility services to West Virginia residents. During that time, the company supported the state's efforts to expand the number of programs and populations the enrollment broker project served including the expansion of Medicaid in 2015, the expansion of CHIP in 2017, and the addition of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits in 2017. Maximus has partnered with the state to improve the delivery of eligibility and enrollment services for more than 400,000 West Virginia residents. The majority of Medicaid enrollment in West Virginia is handled through the customer contact center operated by Maximus, offering residents the choice to engage by phone, web, online chat, and mail. The company conducts caller surveys to monitor customer experience, earning a 98% average customer satisfaction score in 2024. Maximus also provides in-person outreach and education at local community events.

The company leveraged its enrollment broker infrastructure, developed a full SDOH survey, and added the survey delivery to the Medicaid enrollment process. The surveys, with completion rates of nearly 70 percent, revealed an average of 2.5 unmet SDOH needs per resident. The pilot project's results will be used by the state to better identify the needs of at-risk people, coordinate services, and ultimately improve health outcomes.

Opendoor stock gains more than 115% as retail frenzy continues to push shares higher
Opendoor Technologies (OPEN) stock continued its meteoric rise on Monday, with shares rising as much as 115% in afternoon trading as the meme stock-style rally continues. The long-beleaguered iBroker platform saw its share price gain 188% last week, bringing the stock from just above $0.50 less than a month ago to now above $4.80. Shares still remain far below their all-time high of $39.24 reached in February 2021. Powering the stock, in part, has been a public bull case from Carvana (CVNA) turnaround spotter EMJ Capital and a ream of speculative bets posted to the subreddit wallstreetbets, a haven for meme stocks, have both added significant fuel to the fire. Retail trading activity in the stock has surged in recent weeks, according to data from VandaTrack. Opendoor uses iBuyer real estate technology to buy homes from owners for cash, make light repairs, then flip them back onto the open market to hopefully resell at a profit. Since going public through a SPAC transaction in December 2020, Opendoor has yet to post a profitable quarter. But EMJ Capital principal Eric Jackson — who first gained notoriety for being an early believer in turnaround potential at Carvana — predicted in an X thread laying out his bull case on the stock that it would report its first quarter of positive EBITDA in August and that he sees a price target of $82. The company was served a warning that it faced potential delisting from the Nasdaq in May after trading under $1 for more than 30 days. In June, it settled a class-action lawsuit alleging that the company did not properly disclose its price algorithm's inability to adapt to changes in the housing market. As with meme-stock predecessors GameStop (GME) and AMC (AMC) during their own retail-frenzied runs throughout 2021, short bets on Opendoor had hit a record level, accounting for more than 25% of the company's float by the end of June.
