AT&T now expects $14 billion in free cash flow

AT&T now forecasts a higher 4.5% to 5.0% increase in its full-year mobility service revenue. It, however, expects a lower $14 billion in free cash flow this year versus $16 billion it had guided for at its investor day. On "Squawk Box" ຂອງ CNBC, CEO John Stankey ເວົ້າວ່າ:

Our postpaid phone net ads were best in ten years. That takes a little bit of cash. We also hit our year-end target in mid-band 5G spectrum deployment early. That’s a big change. We did over 2 million new connected locations in our Fiber build, which took a lot of capital.

ຫຸ້ນ is down more than 10% from its year-to-date high. Wall Street currently rates “T” at hold.
