Verizon reported first quarter financial results that were largely in line with analyst expectations, showing growth in income and revenue and relative stability in customer metrics. During the first three months of the year, Verizon lost around 178,000 wireless postpaid phone customers. That's relatively close to what analysts had expected, but certainly not what investors had hoped for. But the company said its overall operating revenues increased 4% year over year, and its net income grew more than 25% year over year. The operator said sales picked up in March as COVID-19 restrictions lifted and shoppers returned to Verizon stores. Verizon said that 14% of its consumer postpaid phone base now has access to 5G.
