U-verse Now Has 5.7 Million TV Customers - 1st Qtr 2014

From the article in the link found below:

 

Strong U-verse Gains Drive Broadband Growth. Total U-verse subscribers (TV and high speed Internet) reached 11.3 million in the first quarter. U-verse TV added 201,000 subscribers in the first quarter to reach 5.7 million in service. AT&T has more pay TV subscribers than any other telecommunications company. U-verse high speed Internet had a first-quarter net gain of 634,000 subscribers, to reach a total of 11.0 million. That marks seven consecutive quarters with U-verse broadband net adds of more than 600,000. Overall, total wireline broadband subscribers increased by 78,000. Total wireline broadband ARPU was up 9 percent year over year. Total U-verse high speed Internet subscribers now represent more than two-thirds of all wireline broadband subscribers, compared with 51 percent in the year-earlier quarter.

 

About 60 percent of U-verse broadband subscribers have a plan delivering speeds of 12 Mbps or higher. In the first quarter, 90 percent of new U-verse TV customers also signed up for U-verse high speed Internet. About two-thirds of AT&T U-verse TV subscribers take three or four services from AT&T. ARPU for U-verse triple-play customers continues to be more than $170. At the end of the quarter, U-verse TV penetration was more than 21 percent. U-verse broadband penetration was near 20 percent at the end of the first quarter.

I've come to learn that ANY news will cause stock prices to fall. Superbowl commercials cause Budweiser's stock to fall, iPhone announcements cause Apple's stock to fall, E3 causes Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft's stock to fall.

I didn't understand that.  EPS was above estimates.  It looked like all the news was good news, but the stock fell anyway?

They have to make a certain amount of money per 1/4 for the share holders. Growing means nothing if you dont make money. That is what happened ...

Making the predicted amount of EPS per quarter is the accepted measure of did you make "enough."  They exceeded the predicted EPS.  They had revenue growth.  They had net revenue growth.

As DD#2 (licensed financial advisor) will tell anyone, don't worry about what a stock does in ONE day.  It makes her crazy when clients will call after seeing their stock prices fall slightly in one day, screaming "SELL...SELL...SELL!!!!"

 

ATT's 52 week hi/low is $31.74 and $37.97 closing at $34.50 down slightly more than 1%.

As U-Verse edges near 6 million TV subscribers, that should give AT&T more clout, in channel negotiations.

21% is a very high level of penetration for an "over builder."  Especially with the maturity of the satellite offerings bringing them into near parity with the wire-line cable operators.
