AT&T Model Update

What's new: This note covers changes to the model after results. We increased postpaid phone adds, FWA adds, Consolidated EBITDA, and FCF slightly. We also lowered fiber adds slightly. Consensus EBITDA likely increases, with a more valuable business mix. No change to thesis. Neutral: $21 (+30% total return).

AT&T: quick thoughts following the call

What’s new: we start with a diatribe focused on the improving quality of the business, of management’s decisions, and of disclosure (with small suggestions for further improvements). We then touch on AT&T’s FWA strategy and its implications for others, the impact of Gigapower on fiber trends and the prospect of seeing other Broadband companies pursuing a similar strategy, what we learned about broadband market growth (which is less than we had hoped), what we learned about wireless market growth...

AT&T 1Q24 Quick Take

What’s new: Service revenue was almost in-line, EBITDA beat, but EPS was in-line, and FCF beat (mostly timing). By segment: wireless service revenue was a hair soft, but EBITDA beat handily. Phone adds beat on much lower-than-expected churn. Consumer Wireline revenue was roughly in-line while EBITDA beat handily. Fiber adds were in-line (preannounced), while Internet Air adds were well ahead of estimates. Business Wireline missed on service revenue and EBITDA.

NSR Policy: The DoD’s Spectrum Game

This week we cover spectrum issues, with a particular focus on the implications of last week’s Department of Defense (DoD) report on the feasibility of sharing the 3.1 – 3.45GHz band with wireless carriers. Our New Street colleagues published a note describing the report and its implications for DISH/SATS, T, VZ, and TMUS.
