Current thesis
Q3 advanced-connectivity service revenue grew 6.1%, with 379,000 postpaid phone net adds and a record 769,000 total consumer-and-business advanced-connectivity internet net adds. Continued convergence, fiber expansion and the maintained $18 billion-plus 2026 free-cash-flow outlook could support recovery if Q4 cash conversion and pricing hold.
