The market resolves to Yes if Verizon reports more than 100,000 new postpaid phone customers in the third quarter of 2026. It resolves to No if the number is 100,000 or fewer. Readers often mistake the reporting deadline for the end of the quarter instead of the specific date Verizon releases its earnings.
