AT&T: Subscriber Growth Intact, but Pricing Pressure and Rising Churn Define the Competitive Battleground!

$50.00 or $120.00 / year

AT&T’s Q1 2026 results highlight a transition toward a more structurally durable earnings model, driven by Advanced Connectivity and convergence-led growth. Revenue increased 2.9% with adjusted EPS up nearly 12%, reflecting improving earnings quality despite margin normalization pressures. Advanced Connectivity, now over 90% of revenue, remains the core driver, delivering service revenue and EBITDA growth with modest margin expansion, supported by scale and fiber-led mix. Broadband momentum is a key pillar, with over 500,000 net adds for six consecutive quarters and strong fiber expansion underpinning double-digit growth in home internet revenue. Convergence continues to strengthen customer lifetime value, with over 40% of broadband users also taking wireless, though this mix shift contributes to flat ARPU and moderates near-term pricing power. Enterprise trends are stabilizing as legacy copper declines are offset by fiber and 5G growth, with ongoing copper retirement offering a structural cost and margin unlock. Capital intensity remains elevated but strategic, supporting long-term network advantages, while near-term leverage expansion reflects investment in spectrum and fiber. Competitive pressure in wireless and rising churn remain key risks. Can AT&T sustain subscriber growth and convergence benefits while stabilizing pricing and margins in an increasingly competitive wireless landscape?
