About the company

AT&T sells mobile phone plans and home internet to households and businesses across the US, and runs a wireless business in Mexico. Its business rests on two networks: a nationwide 5G wireless network and a fiber internet network that is replacing its old copper phone lines. Companies and government agencies also buy private networks, security and connectivity services from its business unit. Most revenue comes from monthly service plans plus device installment payments, and the company pushes customers to combine phone and home internet. AT&T Inc. began in 1983 as Southwestern Bell, took the AT&T name after buying its former parent in 2005, and is based in Dallas, Texas.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Fiber is AT&T's main growth bet: it targets over 40 million fiber locations by December 2026.
  • Fiber growth includes acquisitions: AT&T's February 2026 purchase of Lumen's consumer fiber unit added over 1 million customers.
  • AT&T is investing in offices: a $1.35 billion Plano campus, announced January 2026, will house nearly 6,000 staff.

What critics are saying

  • Debt stays high for years: AT&T expects about three years after its EchoStar purchase to restore its 2.5x debt target.
  • The workforce is shrinking: AT&T's headcount fell from about 141,000 to 133,000 in the year to December 2025.
  • FirstNet depends on Washington: a federal authority oversees AT&T's first-responder contract and needs renewal from Congress.

What makes AT&T unique

  • AT&T runs the national first-responder network: its FirstNet federal contract lasts until 2042.
  • AT&T bought more airwaves in July 2026: its $23 billion EchoStar deal added spectrum across about 400 markets.
  • AT&T sells phone and home internet together: 42.5% of its advanced internet homes also used AT&T wireless.

AT&T speeds up copper network shutdown, targeting $4B in annual savings by 2028

AT&T is speeding up the shutdown of its copper network as customers leave legacy services. Only 1% of its customers still use copper-based voice services, down from 5% in December 2024. The carrier has shut 100 wire centres and decommissioned copper services in over 500 communities across 18 states, covering 1.3 million locations. It expects to complete the process in another 1,500 communities over the next year. Legacy service revenue fell 25% year over year in the third quarter. Chief financial officer Pascal Desroches said AT&T remains on pace for $4 billion in annual cost savings by the end of 2028. AT&T plans to shut most of its copper network by 2030. It added 416,000 fibre customers in the quarter, up 44.4% year over year.

Verizon yields 6.26% and keeps raising its dividend, while AT&T's 4.88% payout stays frozen

Verizon looks like the stronger income stock than AT&T, according to a comparison of the two telecoms' payouts. Verizon yields about 6.26% and has raised its dividend 19 years in a row. AT&T yields about 4.88% on a payout frozen since its 2022 cut. Verizon raised its quarterly dividend to $0.7075 from $0.69. AT&T pays $0.2775 a quarter and plans to hold $1.11 annualised through 2028. Verizon paid $5.9 billion in first-half dividends against $10.2 billion of free cash flow, about 58%. Its EBITDA margin hit 40.1% as it cut phone subsidies. AT&T's leverage rose after its $23 billion EchoStar spectrum purchase. It does not expect to return to 2.5x until 2029.

How $75K in six high-yield picks could generate $13.7K a year in passive income

Splitting $75,000 evenly across six high-yield holdings would produce $13,693.20 a year in income, an 18.26% blended yield, according to 24/7 Wall St. That is well above a $10,000 annual target. Each position gets $12,500. Two covered-call exchange-traded notes supply most of the income: USOI adds $6,476.26 and GLDI adds $3,393.28. The rest comes from Herzfeld Credit Income Fund ($1,702.27), Altria ($774.17), Main Street Capital ($741.33), and AT&T ($605.90). The notes' payouts swing widely each month, so the margin above $10,000 acts as a buffer if option premiums shrink. USOI's monthly payments have ranged from $0.4265 to $7.4743.

AT&T shares fall 6.4% despite Q3 beat, as outlook raise stems from lower depreciation

AT&T shares fell 6.4% on October 21, 2026, after the company reported third-quarter results and raised its full-year profit outlook. The S&P 500 rose 0.6% that day, while Verizon fell 2.2% and T-Mobile 2.5%. The higher outlook came mainly from lower depreciation under held-for-sale accounting for AT&T Mexico, which the company has agreed to sell. AT&T now expects full-year adjusted EPS of about $2.40, up from $2.25 to $2.35. Adjusted EPS was $0.65, against a consensus of $0.61. Revenue matched expectations at $32.3 billion. AT&T kept its free cash flow forecast at $18 billion and its adjusted EBITDA growth forecast at 3% to 4%. It warned that fourth-quarter growth will suffer from higher marketing and customer acquisition costs. Average revenue per fiber customer fell 4%, and a similar decline is expected next quarter.
