T STOCK UPDATE:
In anticipation of closing the pending WarnerMedia transaction with Discovery, Inc. in the second quarter, AT&T is laying out its updated strategy and financial outlook for the company moving forward. This includes detailed operational and financial expectations through 2023.
“Now that the close of the WarnerMedia deal is approaching, we are near the starting line of a new era for AT&T,” said John Stankey, AT&T chief executive officer. “The transformation we’ve undergone over the past 18 months while delivering outstanding operational results has brought us to this point.
