Mixed Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

TDS reported second-quarter 2025 operating revenues of $1,186 million, down from $1,238 million a year earlier, while its net loss attributable to common shareholders narrowed to $5 million, or $(0.05) per share, from $14 million, or $(0.13) per share. The company also lowered the top end of its TDS Telecom 2025 Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted EBITDA estimates, which matters to shareholders because the revenue decline and narrower guidance range point to a softer telecom outlook.
