AT&T Inc. Q3 revenue missed expectations, but wireless postpaid and fiber net adds exceeded targets, supporting ongoing growth initiatives. T delivered strong free cash flow of $4.9 billion, easily covering its dividend with a safe payout ratio of 42.8%. Net debt declined year-over-year, but total debt rose due to spectrum purchases, pushing leverage higher and limiting near-term dividend growth.
AT&T Inc (NYSE:T, ETR:SOBA) saw its shares fall almost 5% in early trade on Wednesday as it reported a slight revenue miss for the third quarter. The telecommunications company posted revenues of $30.7 billion, up 1.6% from a year earlier but slightly below Wall Street estimates of $30.85 billion.
AT&T reported mixed results relative to expectations, but the news was generally positive. AT&T added subscribers across wireless, fiber, and Internet Air, and its converged strategy made progress.
The company has made a push to offer more customers both fiber and wireless services and says the move is paying off. Analysts will be monitoring the impact of promotions.
