Last earnings call, Jul 22, 2026 AI summary

What they said
AT&T reported strong operational and financial performance in Q2 2026, highlighting accelerated execution of its Advanced Connectivity strategy. The company added over 1 million Advanced Connectivity subscribers (fiber, fixed wireless, and postpaid phones), achieved record Q2 fiber net adds and record combined fiber and fixed wireless net adds, and increased converged customer penetration. Consolidated service revenue grew 2.7% year-over-year, total revenue was up 2.3%, adjusted EBITDA rose 5.2% with margin up 110 basis points to 39.1%, and adjusted EPS increased to $0.65 (up >20% YoY). Free cash flow of $4.7 billion exceeded the high end of guidance. Management emphasized improved operating leverage from 5G and fiber scale, cost transformation actions, and accelerating fiber deployment (added over 1 million fiber locations in the quarter). They reiterated full-year guidance for service revenue (low single-digit growth), adjusted EBITDA (3%-4% growth), adjusted EPS ($2.25-$2.35), free cash flow ($18B+), and capex ($23B-$24B). Management expressed confidence in the converged strategy, operational execution in Lumen-acquired markets, and upcoming satellite solutions for coverage corner cases. During Q&A, management fielded questions on pricing strategy, plan recalibration, fiber vs. fixed wireless access (FWA) positioning, AI-driven traffic implications, churn dynamics, device cost inflation, and capital allocation priorities.
Guidance
Consolidated service revenues: low single-digit growth (full year); consolidated adjusted EBITDA: 3%-4% growth (full year); adjusted EPS: $2.25-$2.35 (full year); free cash flow: $18B+ (full year); capital investment: $23B-$24B (full year); Advanced Connectivity service revenue: 5%+ (full year). Q3 free cash flow expected relatively stable year-over-year; strong year-over-year growth expected in Q4; capex to be more ratable in H2 vs H1.
Risks flagged
Risks and headwinds mentioned or implied include: potential increases in device costs and pass-through to customers (which could suppress device upgrades and impact ARPU dynamics), spectrum/timing uncertainties (C-band auction/deployment timeline), execution risk in scaling fiber deployment/construction, competitive dynamics (promotional activity in industry), reliance on partner technologies for satellite coverage corner cases (JV/AST SpaceMobile), and macro/industry uncertainties described in SEC filings. Past discrete items (legal settlements, pension contributions) impacted prior-year comparisons.
