AMT (Buy, PT $203) reported 4Q25 results. We continue to view AMT as the best-growing, least-levered, best-positioned stock in the group. 4Q was generally ahead on all metrics. Guidance is bit of a mess with consensus largely having included DISH while there are 2 larger than anticipated factors moving in opposite directions in the form of FX (+) and straight line (negative, but non-cash). This note is our instant read on the result vs. both us and consensus.
Greetings from sunny, if chilly Fort Lauderdale where we are attending Metro Connect which one of our companies described as one of the two most important infrastructure conferences of the year. We are soooo lucky not to have gotten snowed in. If you are in the northeast, please stay warm! We just wrapped Day One where we had meetings and run-ins with many, primarily, small to mid-size private fiber operators. In this short note, we present our key takeaways from our conversations at the event.

TMUS recently held their Capital Markets Day (CMD) in conjunction with 4Q results. We covered key highlights from the CMD in our note published last week. Long story short, TMUS met or exceeded most of our expectations with their guidance. In this note, we cover changes to our financial estimates and compare them with consensus and guidance. We also share our trend charts for key metrics to put the current quarter in context.
Following weak relative performance on a host of concerns heading into its 4Q results and CMD, we believe the company successfully, but not totally, soothed the market. What were these concerns? Weak sub growth in the face of an ascendant Verizon, falling ARPU in an intensifying competitive climate, mediocre EBITDA growth as a result of both, and cautious capital returns as a result. By and large TMUS met or exceeded, in our view, on most of these issues. The one thing people did not like? The N...
T-Mobile posted 4Q results and guidance this morning ahead of their capital markets day featuring new CEO Srini Gopalan. We are sitting in the cold lobby waiting for the doors to open crunching through the numbers. TMUS is no longer guiding to subscriber growth, but rather accounts. The guidance for 900k-1MM new accounts for 2026E x 2.5 postpaid phones per account at the end of 2025 implies 2.25-2.5MM postpaid phone nets which is a bit below where the Street was thinking. This being said, TMUS h...
T CEO John Stankey recently said that “I’ve never seen federal policy this supportive of market-based investment in advanced networks.” That statement raises multiple interesting investor related questions about what does, and does not, support investment in advanced networks, including the relative importance of those policies that drive supply and those that drive demand, and how government is treating advanced networks versus networks that have lower cost structures but also involve lower pe...
In a legislative battle pitting the interests of T v. VZ and TMUS, the Senate held a hearing last week on the reauthorization of the FirstNet Authority (FNA), with the House holding another one this coming Wednesday. In this note, we analyze the first hearing as well as a draft House bill with an eye toward whether the upcoming Congressional action is likely to change the current economics of public safety communications for T, VZ, and TMUS.

AT&T announced this morning that they have closed the Lumen fiber transaction. As part of this transaction, AT&T acquires over 4MM fiber locations and more than 1MM fiber customers in major markets. AT&T also acquires Lumen’s fiber build engine which should help accelerate fiber deployment. We published two comprehensive reports when the transaction was announced.
According to an article out this morning from the FT, Verizon has contacted potential replacements for its CEO of Consumer Sampath. The news is a surprise given his 'heir apparent' status and the short duration of now-CEO Dan Schulman's existing contract. Our view is that even more change, and therefore uncertainty, in the wireless industry C-suite is not a positive for the sector. Verizon has a lot of wood to chop to make good on ambitious '26E guidance and introduce a new 'value proposition' i...
It’s all about the future. The Verizon 4Q results press release was nearly 50% above guidance for 2026E and about how much better this coming year will be than in recent years past. 4Q was objectively not great as VZ invested to win stronger than expected post-paid phone net adds and ‘transform’ the company to a customer-centric model which can sustain subscriber growth at current prices.
Verizon Delivers on 2025 Financial Guidance with Highest Quarterly Net Adds Since 2019 Strong Fourth-Quarter Results and 2026 Guidance Reflect Impact of Bold Actions and Beginning of Verizon's Turnaround Key Highlights: More than 1 million total net additions across mobility and broadband, highest reported quarterly net additions since 2019, with 616,000 postpaid phone net additionsFrontier acquisition expands fiber access to over 30 million homes and businesses, accelerating national mobility and broadband convergence strategy NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verizon Com...
AMT (Buy, PT $203), after the close today, shared that SATS has defaulted on its tower lease agreement payments. This was unsurprising following a similar revelation from CCI (Neutral, PT $93) on 1/12/26 (see our note). AMT says this action will have no impact on 2025 results. AMT did not mention the value of the remaining payments, but we assume it is similar to the ~$3.5bn (undiscounted) CCI cited.
Earlier today, we published our quick take on AT&T’s 4Q results and our note following the earnings call where we discussed some controversies heading into today’s results. This note focuses on the model update. Our subscriber estimate changes are modest. Revenue, EBITDA and FCF are slightly higher but within the guidance range. A full refresh reflecting the new reporting structure is forthcoming.
We shared our view of AT&T’s results this morning (note here). Results and guidance were solid. In this note following the earnings call and our multiple follow up conversations, we address key investor issues including 1) postpaid phone ARPU growth; 2) the pace of fiber deployment; 3) Internet Air net adds and ARPU growth; and 4) broadband ARPU growth. You see the trend, right? People care deeply about price and ARPU.
