Verizon’s stock fell nearly 2% following a leadership change in its consumer group, with Sowmyanarayan Sampath stepping down and Alfonso Villanueva taking over as interim CEO. This executive shake-up coincides with Verizon filing a lawsuit against T-Mobile for alleged false advertising, claiming T-Mobile misleadingly promises over $1,000 in annual savings to switchers. These significant internal and external challenges are putting pressure on Verizon, leading to investor focus on the upcoming transition and potential for prolonged legal battles.
