Verizon stock slides after FCC loosens phone-unlocking rule as fraud fight takes center stage

NEW YORK, January 13, 2026, 15:19 ET — Regular session Shares of Verizon Communications Inc dropped roughly 2.5% to $38.86 in Tuesday’s afternoon session after U.S. regulators scrapped a rule requiring the carrier to unlock phones 60 days post-activation.

InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) stock: CCI antitrust review, DGCA scrutiny, and fresh analyst targets on Dec 20, 2025
