Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE: NYSE:VZ) shares are trading lower Thursday in sympathy with AT&T Inc (NYSE: T), which reported financial results and cut guidance.
AT&T updated its 2022 free cash flow outlook due to timing of customer collections, incremental success-based investments tied to higher subscriber growth and lower Business Wireline operating income.
The company lowered its full-year free cash flow expectations from the $16 billion range to the $14 billion range.
