It’s not often that a 141-year-old company has the opportunity to generate excitement. But after AT&T (NYSE: T) reported Q1 2026 earnings on April 22, that is exactly how the market has been reacting.
After initially selling off in the lead-up to its earnings call, the stock gained nearly 3% on April 23 as investors responded positively to a Q1 acquisition, the company reiterating guidance after posting record fixed broadband results, and a nearly 11% year-over-year increase in adjusted earnings per share (EPS).
