VZ EV/EBITDA Analysis

At 7.8x, the EV/EBITDA multiple measures Verizon's total company value—including debt—against its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, so a lower number generally means a cheaper price relative to cash-generating power.

This sits well below the sector median of 13.6x, placing the stock in the 21st percentile among peers, meaning most comparable companies trade at higher multiples. The trend is stable: over the last eight quarters the multiple has moved within a narrow band, with a year-over-year increase of +5.7% and a quarter-over-quarter change of +1.6%. That combination—a low valuation with a steady, modest upward drift—suggests limited downside risk from multiple compression, but also no obvious catalyst for a re-rating. The low level relative to peers offers a margin of safety, while the stable trend reduces near-term valuation volatility. This supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the metric neither screams bargain nor signals overvaluation, just a consistent, reasonably priced profile.
