Verizon raised the lower end of its annual profit forecast on Monday, as strong demand for its higher-tier plans powered better-than-expected earnings in the second quarter.
The U.S. telecom major posted a 2.2% rise in wireless service revenue as more users opted for its add-ons such as access to streaming service like Netflix.
