Fiber deal supports 60 million goal
The Corning agreement is designed to support AT&T's plan to reach 60 million fiber locations by 2030. Simply Wall St said the contract secures US-manufactured fiber cable over several years, giving AT&T longer-term planning visibility for network construction.
That commitment adds a measurable supply element to AT&T's network strategy. The company is also targeting 8 million new fiber locations during 2026, including more than 4 million acquired through its Lumen footprint, according to the second-quarter earnings transcript dated July 22, 2026.
Second-quarter figures beat expectations
AT&T reported USD 31.56 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 2.30 percent from a year earlier. Adjusted earnings per share reached USD 0.65, compared with the USD 0.59 consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat.
The comparison matters because the revenue increase was paired with an earnings-per-share result USD 0.06 above consensus. AT&T's second-quarter operating profit was USD 7.04 billion and net income was USD 5.04 billion, based on the reported financial statement for the period ended June 30, 2026.
Dividend and results date set
AT&T's board declared a quarterly common-stock dividend of USD 0.2775 per share on September 24, 2026. The payment is scheduled for November 2, 2026, for shareholders of record on October 12, 2026, according to AT&T.
AT&T has scheduled its third-quarter 2026 earnings call for October 21, 2026, according to its investor-relations calendar. The date gives the market a defined checkpoint for fiber additions, wireless growth and capital investment after the Corning agreement.
