The telecom giant&#8217;s revenues climbed by 1.2% to $30.35 billion, exceeding the projected $30.04 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s free cash flow reached $5.2 billion, marking a quarterly rise of $1 billion due to aggressive cost-cutting efforts. In Q3, AT&amp;T gained approximately 468,000 post-paid wireless and 296,000 new fiber optic subscribers, largely driven by aggressive moves to attract Apple (NASDAQ:) iPhone customers.<\/p>\n<p>CEO John Stankey announced an upwards revision for both full-year free cash flow and profit growth forecasts. AT&amp;T now expects approximately 4% growth in adjusted earnings compared to 2022 and anticipates free cash flow to reach around $16.5 billion, up by $500 million from the previous forecast. This aligns with the InvestingPro Tip that the company&#8217;s net income is expected to grow this year, and 5 analysts have revised their earnings upwards for the upcoming period.<\/p>\n<p>Stankey attributed these positive forecasts to profitable customer relationships, investments in best-in-class 5G and fiber connectivity, and company efforts to simplify customers&#8217; digital experiences. This is consistent with AT&amp;T&#8217;s position as a prominent player in the Diversified Telecommunication Services industry, as pointed out by InvestingPro Tips.<\/p>\n<p>Following the earnings announcement on Thursday, AT&amp;T&#8217;s shares rose by 3.35% in pre-market trading, indicating an opening bell price of $14.80 each. The InvestingPro Data shows that the company has a market cap of 108.96B USD, and the P\/E Ratio (Adjusted) for LTM2023.Q2 stands at 6.89, indicating a positive valuation for the company.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s revenue for LTM2023.Q2 was 121.44B USD, with a gross profit of 71.51B USD, representing a Gross Profit Margin of 58.89%. This data underlines AT&amp;T&#8217;s strong financial performance and potential for growth.<\/p>\n<p>For more insightful tips and real-time metrics, consider exploring InvestingPro, which offers a wealth of additional data and tips for informed investment decisions.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor.
