Verizon misses quarterly revenue estimates on slow phone upgrades
  + stars: | 2024-07-22 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Verizon Communications missed quarterly revenue estimates on Monday due to slow phone upgrades in the United States, taking the shine off strong growth in wireless subscribers and sending shares of the telecom firm down 3.4% before the bell. Verizon reported second-quarter revenue of $32.8 billion, compared with analysts' average estimate of $33.06 billion, according to LSEG data. Verizon said it added 148,000 net monthly bill-paying wireless phone subscribers from April to June, above analysts' average estimate of 127,870 additions, according to Visible Alpha. It even raised the price of some older plans in March to prompt customers to switch to the new plans. The company's consumer business reported net losses of 8,000 wireless retail postpaid phone subscribers in the latest quarter, compared with 136,000 losses a year earlier.

Not really," Chaudhry, the billionaire founder and CEO of cloud security company Zscaler, tells CNBC Make It. Together, they plunged their life savings — roughly $500,000 — into SecureIT, a cybersecurity software startup they co-founded in 1997. His timing was perfect: In 1998, Chaudhry sold SecureIT to VeriSign in an all-stock deal worth nearly $70 million. I said, "If [Netscape co-founder] Marc Andreessen could start a company — he was a young guy [right] out of college — why shouldn't I start a company?"

But China, the world's biggest smartphone market, has been a struggle for Samsung over the last few years.

"In essence, edge computing complements cloud computing, extending digital transformation to the edge," Bittman said. Gartner research shows that edge computing has value in all industries, "although how it's used varies widely," Bittman said. "Whenever an enterprise has people or assets widely distributed, where interactions are taking place at the edge — shopping, assembling, collaborating, systems of all sorts — edge computing may make sense." Sectors that are the most distributed or are asset-heavy are and will use edge computing the most, Bittman said. "Edge computing brings data, analytics processing, and storage closer to the equipment to monitor machine health in real time," she said.

It could also boost sales of the pricey Vision Pro, which has reportedly and unexpectedly received a production cut. During its most recent earnings call, CEO Tim Cook said more than half of the Fortune 100 companies have already bought an Apple Vision Pro. But while it’s unclear when generative AI will come to the Vision Pro, Nygugen said: “It’s only a matter of time.”That’s because the Vision Pro is merely just another interface – much like a tablet, laptop, or watch, that touches Apple’s ecosystem. The Vision Pro, the tech giant's $3,499 headset, is its first major release since the Apple Watch nine years ago. “Vision Pro just came out a few months ago and it needs to get its feet under it before it really starts to take off,” Llamas said.

Although artificial intelligence has powered some of the iPhone’s experiences for years, such as Live Text and improved autocorrect, generative AI could unlock new levels of interaction and personalization. The debut of an AI iPhone could also entice consumers to upgrade at a time when they’ve been holding onto older models longer. Now all eyes shift to Apple for its take on generative AI. Expediting AIBehind the scenes, Apple reportedly has been working on its on-device generative AI capabilities and acquiring companies for awhile, such as Canadian startup DarwinAI. But now it needs to show it’s going all in on artificial intelligence to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving industry.

CNN —Microsoft jumped headfirst into building artificial intelligence directly into its Windows operating system on Monday, announcing new AI computers that could help ramp up flagging PC sales. The computers, which are packed with processors that power advanced AI tools, come as PC sales have stalled for years. Microsoft isn’t alone in its AI PC ambition. Dell and Lenovo also recently debuted AI-first PC computers under the Copilot+ AI umbrella, an emerging category that experts widely believe will become the next stage of computing. Last month, Microsoft reported quarterly profits of $21.9 billion, up from $18.3 billion a year ago.
