AT&T Inc (NYSE:T, XETRA:SOBA) reported fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results that modestly exceeded Wall Street expectations, supported by growth in mobility and fiber customers and higher earnings.
AT&T posted revenue of about $33.5 billion, above the consensus estimate of $32.7 billion.
Adjusted EPS came in at $0.52, compared with about $0.43 in the year-ago quarter. This beat expectations of $0.46.
AT&T added 421,000 postpaid phone subscribers in the quarter, falling short of analyst expectations that had called for roughly mid-400,000 net additions.
Fiber net adds totaled 283,000, above consensus estimates that were closer to the mid-200,000 range.
Business wireline revenue continued to decline during the period, although the pressure was partially offset by continued growth in fiber broadband and advanced connectivity services.
For the full year, AT&T reported revenue of about $125.6 billion, up 3% from 2024. Diluted EPS was $3.04, compared with $1.49 a year earlier, while adjusted EPS increased to about $2.12 from $1.95.
“We achieved or surpassed all of our consolidated full-year guidance for 2025,” AT&T chairman and CEO John Stankey said in a statement.
“Backed by the best assets in the industry, we are accelerating our strategy to deliver improved growth, the best customer experience and enhanced returns for shareholders over the next three years.”
Looking ahead, AT&T guided 2026 adjusted EPS to a range of roughly $2.25 to $2.35, above the analyst consensus of about $2.21.
The company also outlined expectations for low-single-digit annual service revenue growth and continued elevated investment in its network and fiber expansion through 2028.
