Analysts lift their targets

Yahoo Finance reported that BNP Paribas Exane upgraded AT&T from Neutral to Outperform on September 21, 2026 and raised its price target from USD 26.00 to USD 30.00. The move puts the new target USD 4.62 above the Lang & Schwarz euro quote, but the currencies and venues are different and are not combined into one return calculation.

Yahoo Finance also reported on September 25, 2026 that Morgan Stanley raised its target from USD 27.00 to USD 28.00 while maintaining an Overweight rating. The two revisions leave the analyst debate centered on whether fiber and wireless convergence can offset the decline of older copper operations.

Revenue grows while copper contracts

AT&T generated USD 31.6 billion of revenue in Q2 2026, an increase of 2.3 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, according to Financial Report Insights. Operating income rose 8.3 percent to USD 7.038 billion, while adjusted EPS increased to USD 0.65 from USD 0.54.

The operating split is sharper than the headline revenue growth.

Fiber net adds reached 367,000, up 36.4 percent from 269,000 a year earlier.
