AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · AT&T (T)

AT&T Q1 revenue rises 2.9% to $31.5 billion, but diluted EPS falls to $0.54

Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

AT&T reported first-quarter 2026 income from continuing operations of $4.2 billion, or $0.54 per diluted share, down from $4.7 billion, or $0.61 per share, a year earlier. Operating revenues rose 2.9% to $31.5 billion, and operating income rose to $6.7 billion from $5.8 billion, but the company cited higher amortization, benefit-related, transaction and legal items, and lower equity income, which lowered per-share results.

  • Diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.54, compared with $0.61 a year earlier; first-quarter 2026 included $256 million in pre-tax significant items, or $(0.03) per share.
  • Cash from operating activities from continuing operations was $7.6 billion, down $1.5 billion from 2025.
  • AT&T repurchased $2.3 billion of common stock in the quarter and had $13.5 billion remaining under authorization at March 31, 2026.
