AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) announced financial results for its fiscal fourth-quarter of 2025 on Wednesday.
The telecom giant reported operating revenues of $33.47 billion, representing a 3.6% increase compared to the same period last year, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $32.87 billion.
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) stood at 52 cents, topping the analyst consensus estimate of 46 cents.
The sales growth was driven by higher revenue in the company’s mobility, consumer-wireline, and Mexico businesses, and partially offset by its business-wireline segment.

In contrast, Mobility sales grew 5.3%. Consumer Wireline sales grew 2.9%.
