AT&T reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $32.3 billion, up 5.3% from a year earlier, and adjusted EPS of $0.65, up from $0.54. Diluted EPS from continuing operations fell to $0.13 from $1.29, which included a gain on the DIRECTV investment in the year-ago quarter, and the result includes a $2.6 billion non-cash impairment tied to the held-for-sale Mexico wireless business. The company raised its 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to the $2.40 range and lowered its long-term capital investment outlook, which matters to shareholders because it reflects both improved underlying profit and a large one-time charge.
- Revenues of $32.3 billion, up 5.3% from $30.7 billion; Advanced Connectivity service revenue up 6.1% to $23.9 billion
