AT&T (T) posted mixed first-quarter 🅺results Wednesday, missing revenue estimates but reporting additions to its m♌obile and internet subscriber base.
The company reported $30.03 billion in total revenue, shy of the $30.54 billion 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:analysts expected, according to estimates compiled by Visible Alpha, as lower sales volumes and a 7.8% year-over-year revenue decrease in its Business Wireline division dragged AT&T's top line.
Diluted 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:earnings per share (EPS) of 47 cents fell short of expectations of🎀 51 cents per share. However, adjusted EPS of 55 cents per share topped the estimated 54 cents per s𓂃hare.
AT&T added 349,000 wireless phone subscribers, bringing its total mobile subscriber base to 71.6 million, along with 252,000 new subscribers for its AT&T Fiber internet service, both of which are lower than AT&T posted in the first quarter of 2023.
Full-year guidance for 2024 was also affirmed, with AT&T projecting 3% growth to its wireless service revenue, along with growth of at least 7% in broadband revenue. The company expects adjusted EPS from $2.15 to $2.25, below the $2.41 mark it reported in 2023, but AT&T said it expects adjusted EPS to grow in 2025.
