A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). Today AT&T Inc. is in stage 4. The phase helps read everything below.

Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 3 weeks running.

Over the last 10 years the share price moved −32% while the S&P 500 moved +261%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 16 October 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week.

AT&T Inc. paid $1.11 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.28 for Sep 2026. At today's price of $21.84 that is a yield of 5.08%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast.

A dividend is cash paid out for each share. The 12-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

AT&T is on one of our US lists: S&P 500 companies.

AT&T Inc. earned $1.3 B of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, −86.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $23.4 B. Over 4 years profit has grown 2.1% a year on average. That is 3.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $9.7 B.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY25 profit was $23.4 B (+90.9% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +5.3% on a year earlier and the margin moved +3.1 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −25.1% and revenue +3.5%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

AT&T Inc. reported $32.3 B of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +5.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 8th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown −1.6% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $126 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The last four reported quarters add to $129 B.

FY25 revenue was $126 B, +2.7% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +3.5% on average, against −1.6% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +3.5%, against +2.7% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −38.2%, against +18.4% a year (rolling over).

AT&T Inc.'s operating margin was 24.7% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 3.1 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 21.1% and 25.9%. The latest quarter is within that range.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +3.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.0 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 229% of AT&T Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $40.3 B of operating cash against $23.4 B of profit. After $20.8 B of spending on assets, $19.4 B was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

AT&T Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $59.0 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 15.6% of FY25 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $59.0 B over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

AT&T Inc.'s P/E is 11.7×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 71% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 8.7×, over 4.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.
