AT&T Delivers Solid Q3 2023

AT&T’s third quarter 2023 results were positive, showing healthy 5G and fiber subscriber growth as well as notable year-over-year (YoY) increases in service and broadband revenues, which drove higher profitability. AT&T reported revenue of $30.4 billion, up 1% YoY, reflecting higher revenue in its Mobility, Mexico, and Consumer Wireline segments. In the webcast, we analyze why we see AT&T establishing the foundation for durable, long-term growth based on its latest results that show it delivering 468,000 postpaid phone net adds with continued strong ARPU growth and historically low levels of churn.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
