AT&T

The wireless business contributes nearly 70% of AT&T's revenue. The firm is the third-largest US wireless carrier, connecting 73 million postpaid and 17 million prepaid phone customers. Fixed-line enterprise services, which account for about 15% of revenue, include internet access, private networking, security, voice, and wholesale network capacity. Residential fixed-line services, about 11% of revenue, primarily consist of broadband internet access, serving 14 million customers. AT&T also has a sizable presence in Mexico, with 24 million customers, but this business only accounts for 3% of revenue. The firm has agreed to sell its 70% equity stake in satellite television provider DirecTV to its partner, private equity firm TPG.

Hollywood actors turned hosts of the popular podcast &#8220;SmartLess,&#8221; Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes, expanded their brand on Tuesday by launching a new mobile phone service<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42221861/joe-rogans-interview-with-donald-trump-cant-put-podcaster-at-top-of-apples-2024-rankings-heres-who-beat-him"> called SmartLess Mobile.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: SmartLess Mobile, a direct-to-consumer wireless provider, aims to offer affordable plans by focusing on customers who use less data than traditional unlimited plans provide.&nbsp;
"If you own your phone, spend most of your day on Wi-Fi, and are on an unlimited data plan, moving to SmartLess Mobile could literally cut your monthly bill in half. Seriously, if your phone bill knew how often you're on Wi-Fi, it would be embarrassed," Hayes said in a statement.&nbsp;
Read Next: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45885805/nvidias-jensen-huang-sparks-quantum-stock-frenzy?utm_source=articleShare">Nvidia&#8217;s Jensen Huang Sparks Quantum Stock Frenzy</a>
Bateman highlighted that most SmartLess podcast listeners engage with the show through their phones, making the move into the mobile sector a natural extension of the brand.
"Our SmartLess podcast now reaches millions of listeners each month, almost all of whom listen on their phones," said Bateman. "Extending the SmartLess brand into mobile is a logical next step."
SmartLess Mobile is positioning itself as a value-driven alternative to major carriers like Verizon Communications, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) and AT&amp;T, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) by providing cost-effective plans for consumers who don't need unlimited data. 
The initiative may have been inspired by the success of celebrity-backed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45816039/the-investment-ryan-reynolds-says-hes-more-proud-of-than-anything-hes-done-in-his-life">mobile venture</a> Mint Mobile (co-founded by actor Ryan Reynolds), which was acquired by T-Mobile US, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NYSE">TMUS</a>) for $1.3 billion in 2023. 
Celebrity brands have become dominant forces by leveraging star power to drive consumer interest, sales and brand loyalty. For example, e.l.f Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELF#NYSE">ELF</a>) purchased rhode, Hailey Bieber&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45677382/elf-beauty-buys-hailey-biebers-brand-rhode-for-1-billion-now-shes-richer-than-husband-justin-bieber">prestige cosmetics brand</a>, in May for $1 billion. 
Consumers are drawn to brands where celebrities are genuinely involved, and social media amplifies their reach, which could drive success for SmartLess Mobile.&nbsp;

In a major portfolio reshuffle in the first quarter of 2025, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dan-loeb">Dan Loeb slashed </a>Third Point&#8217;s stakes in Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) by 48% and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) by 32% while acquiring a stake in AT&amp;T Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) and Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
The move diversified the portfolio, now boosting its foothold in the telecommunication and software sectors.
Details: According to recent 13F filings, reflecting his holding as of March 31, 2025, Loeb attained a stake of 3.78 million <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1040273/000108514625003337/xslForm13F_X02/infotable.xml" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in </a>AT&amp;T and 1.45 million in NVIDIA.
Let's have a look at the major events in both companies.
Nvidia Corporation:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>On May 19, Nvidia disclosed Nvidia Isaac GR00T N1.5, the first update to Nvidia's open, generalized, fully customizable foundation model for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45495742/nvidia-unveils-ai-tools-for-humanoid-robots-launches-next-tech-era"> humanoid reasoning and skills</a>.</li>
<li>On May 28, Nvidia reported&nbsp;first-quarter&nbsp;revenue of&nbsp;$44.1 billion, up&nbsp;69%&nbsp;year-over-year and up&nbsp;12%&nbsp;from the&nbsp;fourth quarter. The revenue beat a Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45657660" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of&nbsp;$43.2 billion</a>.</li>
<li>The company reported adjusted earnings of 81 cents per share in the&nbsp;first quarter, which may not compare to analyst estimates.</li>
<li>Nvidia guided for second-quarter revenue of $45.0 billion, +/—2%. The guidance includes a loss of $8.0 billion in H20 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">revenue due to the export controls</a>.</li>
<li>During its&nbsp;first-quarter&nbsp;earnings&nbsp;call, Nvidia executives disclosed that new U.S. restrictions on its H20 AI chips bound for China would cost the company about&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45662144" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$8 billion&nbsp;in the current quarter</a>.</li>
<li>Needham analyst Quinn Bolton said, &#8220;Export restrictions largely exclude NVIDIA from the China AI market ($50 billion TAM), and loss of access to this market could have a material adverse effect on the company&#8217;s business and benefit foreign competitors.&#8221;</li>
<li>Nvidia shares rose nearly 1.65% year to date, compared to the GraniteShares 2x Short NVDA Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVD#NASDAQ">NVD</a>), which fell about 42.93%&nbsp;over the same time frame.</li>
</ul>
AT&amp;T:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>On April 23, The telecom giant reported quarterly operating revenues of $30.63 billion, up 2.0% year over year. This beat the analyst consensus estimate of $30.35 billion. Adjusted EPS of $0.51 also beat the analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/44947739" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of $0.49</a>.</li>
<li>AT&amp;T&nbsp;reiterated consolidated service&nbsp;revenue&nbsp;growth in the low-single-digit range, Mobility service revenue growth in the higher end of&nbsp;2%-3%, Consumer fiber broadband revenue growth in the mid-teens, and adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$1.97$2.07&nbsp;versus&nbsp;the&nbsp;$2.04&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate</a>.</li>
<li>On May 2, Fiber infrastructure company PRIME FiBER tapped AT&amp;T to provide wholesale fiber access services in the Sun City area of Maricopa County and the City of Peoria, Arizona.</li>
<li>On May 22, Lumen Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>) entered into a definitive agreement with AT&amp;T to sell its mass-market fiber-to-the-home business in 11 states <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45553442" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">for $5.75 billion in cash</a>. </li>
<li>AT&amp;T shares have increased 21.83% year to date, compared to the iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYZ#BATS">IYZ</a>), which rose 4.08% in the same time frame.</li>

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Give Their Take On 3 Tech And Telecom Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

NSFW content platform OnlyFans is seeking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/05/45583803/onlyfans-owner-in-talks-to-sell-company-for-8-billion-amid-soaring-revenue-and-investor-interest-report">a tantalizing $8 billion price tag</a>. 
Leonid Radvinsky&#8216;s Fenix International, the UK-based parent company, is chatting with a consortium led by U.S. investment firm Forest Road Company. The group includes Disney and TikTok alum Kevin Mayer, because apparently, the natural career progression from Mickey Mouse to "mature content" is a short — and profitable — one.
OnlyFans boasts over 4 million content creators and 305 million fan accounts, with creators keeping 80% of what they earn. The other 20% goes to running the platform — and, you know, fueling those billion-dollar payouts.
While the company insists it's more than adult content — think celebs like Iggy Azalea — the reality is it's still very much making bank on letting the internet showcase its most unfiltered self.
Also for sale: Paramount Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGRE#NYSE">PGRE</a>). The office space landlord announced it's exploring a potential sale. Whether a lucrative deal can "maximize shareholder value" remains to be seen. CEO Albert Behler announced that Bank of America Securities and Latham &amp; Watkins are tasked with running the process.
Meanwhile, there&#8217;s a c-suite shuffle going on with Ermelinda Berberi stepping up as the new CFO. This comes after the company revealed some eyebrow-raising fiduciary flubs: more than $4 million in "previously undisclosed" payments went toward CEO Behler's personal expenses — including $900,000 for his accountants and $3 million for flights on a private jet company he partially owns. 
Following these disclosures, the Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/c-suite/major-office-landlord-is-exploring-a-sale-of-the-company-794701e3">reported</a> that some of Paramount&#8217;s top executives have exited the firm.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Updates From The Block</h2>
A trio of telecom deals grabbed this week&#8217;s headlines. The most recent transaction involves AT&amp;T (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>), which is looking to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45553442/lumen-technologies-stock-surges-on-fiber-business-sale-to-att">spend $5.75 billion in cash</a>. 
The target is Lumen Technologies' (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>) consumer fiber business.
U.S. telecom dealmaking, it seems, is sizzling. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/05/45502573/charters-proposed-cox-deal-could-challenge-comcast-surpass-att-in-broadband">On Monday, news broke</a> of the Charter Communications, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHTR#NASDAQ">CHTR</a>) merger with Cox Communications. Then, the FCC approved Verizon's $20 billion acquisition of Frontier Communications.
These takeovers come as many regional and legacy telecom providers struggle to meet infrastructure investment demands. Larger players seize the opportunity to purchase assets at attractive valuations, consolidate operations, and eliminate redundancies.
For AT&amp;T, the move reinforces its strategy of unifying its wireless and fiber offerings to meet increasing consumer demand for high-tech connectivity. 
Lumen, meanwhile, is pivoting away from consumer services to concentrate on enterprise clients and the infrastructure needed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41429423/lumen-and-meta-join-forces-to-boost-ai-with-flexible-on-demand-network-solutions">support artificial intelligence initiatives</a>. 
The trend isn&#8217;t exclusive to the U.S. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Off The Block</h2>
Spanish telecom company Telefonica <a href="https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/millicom-to-acquire-telef%C3%B3nicas-uruguayan-unit-for-440m/">agreed</a> to sell its Uruguayan unit for $440 million to Luxembourg-based Millicom International.
Millicom, which operates as Tigo in the region, will gain 100% ownership of the unit and sees strategic infrastructure benefits for its nearby operations in Paraguay and Bolivia. The deal follows Millicom's earlier acquisitions of Telefónica's mobile units in Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua.
For Telefónica, the Uruguay sale is part of a broader divestment strategy aimed at reducing debt and limiting exposure to currency volatility. Since 2019, the Spanish telecom giant has been shedding assets across Latin America to refocus on its core European markets, including Spain, the UK, and Germany. 
Recent moves include the sale of its Peruvian, Argentinian, and potentially Chilean and Mexican units.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bankruptcy Block</h2>
Semiconductor supplier Wolfspeed (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOLF#NYSE">WOLF</a>) is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45534429/wolfspeed-reportedly-prepping-bankruptcy-filing-after-snubbing-debt-deals-buckling-under-6-5-billion-burden-stock-plunges-over-60">preparing to file for Chapter 11</a> bankruptcy within weeks, according <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/wolfspeed-prepares-to-file-for-bankruptcy-within-weeks-7bd98040">to</a> The Wall Street Journal. The company has been struggling with weak demand in the industrial and automotive sectors, as well as uncertainty from tariffs. Wolfspeed&#8217;s stock plunged over 57% in after-hours trading on Tuesday following the news. The bankruptcy filing is expected to have backing from a majority of its creditors, after the company rejected several out-of-court restructuring proposals.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block: Back To Telecom</h2>
According <a href="https://www.bain.com/insights/telecom-m-and-a-here-are-the-latest-deal-trends-worldwide-interactive/">to</a> Bain Capital, global telecom M&amp;A took a breather in Q1 2025. Deal value dropped to $16 billion—down from $22 billion a year ago—suggesting that telcos may be suffering from a bit of a financial hangover after a strong 2024. The Americas still brought the most party favors, accounting for 64% of global activity.
The real stars of the quarter? Divestments. Crown Castle offloaded its U.S. fiber and small cells businesses for $4.25 billion, and Telia <a href="https://news.bloombergtax.com/mergers-and-acquisitions/telia-sells-tv-unit-for-614-million-to-schibsted-media">jettisoned</a> its TV and media unit.
Meanwhile, those big-scale deals that were all the rage last year only made up 14% of Q1's deal value—down from 47% a year ago. Still, they've held strong over the long haul, accounting for the biggest share (39%) of deal value over the past five years, followed by infrastructure divestments at 32%.

Deal Dispatch: OnlyFans To Sell For $8 Billion? Telecom M&A Heats Up, Wolfspeed On Road To Bankruptcy

Lumen Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>) stock is trading higher Thursday after the company announced the sale of its consumer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45552133">fiber-to-the-home business</a>.
What To Know: Lumen announced the sales of its fiber-to-the-home business to AT&amp;T (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) for $5.75 billion in cash. The company&#8217;s network consists of about 1 million fiber customers and reaches more than 4 million fiber locations across 11 U.S. states.
The transaction supports AT&amp;T&#8217;s plans to extend its fiber network to reach about 60 million total fiber locations by year-end 2030.
The deal excludes Lumen's enterprise fiber and copper-based customers. AT&amp;T will place the acquired assets into a new subsidiary called&nbsp;NetworkCo, which it plans to partially sell to an equity partner within a year of closing.
&#8220;We&#8217;re leading the race to connect more Americans with fiber, the best broadband connectivity technology available,&#8221; said&nbsp;John Stankey, Chairman and CEO, AT&amp;T. 
&#8220;This deal with Lumen represents a significant investment in U.S. connectivity infrastructure that will create jobs and spur economic activity in numerous regions and major metro areas across 11 states.&#8221;
The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2026.

Lumen Stock Is Rising Thursday: What's Going On?

Lumen Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUMN#NYSE">LUMN</a>) shares are soaring in Wednesday&#8217;s after-hours session after the company announced the sale of its consumer fiber-to-the-home business <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45552097/lumen-technologies-advances-enterprise-market-focus-with-sale-of-consumer-fiber-to-the-home-busine">to AT&amp;T Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>)</a>.
What Happened: Lumen entered into a definitive agreement with AT&amp;T to sell its mass market fiber-to-the-home business in 11 states for $5.75 billion in cash. The deal includes approximately 95% of Quantum Fiber, approximately four million enablements and close to one million subscribers. The company said it marks another step in Lumen&#8217;s transition to an enterprise digital networking company.
&#8220;We are sharpening our focus on enterprise customers, and this transaction enhances our financial flexibility, enabling us to reimagine networking for enterprises in a multi-cloud, AI-first world,&#8221; said Kate Johnson, president and CEO of Lumen.
&#8220;As part of this deal, we are retaining the core infrastructure that allows us to continue innovating for enterprise customers, leapfrogging traditional networking architectures to give customers the bandwidth, performance, and security they need.&#8221;
Lumen said it expects to build out new fiber enablements through the end of 2025 at a similar pace to 2024. The company will retain all national, regional-, state- and metro-level fiber backbone network infrastructure, central offices and associated real estate. These assets will continue to serve as the foundation of the company&#8217;s enterprise transformation.
The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026. Upon closing, Lumen intends to use net proceeds of approximately&nbsp;$4.2 billion to pay down debt. 
Lumen shares surged on the news. AT&amp;T shares were also up about 0.25% in after-hours at last check.

Lumen Technologies Announces Sale Of Consumer Fiber-To-The-Home Business To AT&T For A Total Consideration Of $5.75B In Cash

BofA Securities analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich maintained a Buy rating on Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHTR#NASDAQ">CHTR</a>) last Friday, with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CHTR/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">price target of $450</a>.
Ehrlich noted that Charter had announced an agreement to merge with privately held Cox Communications for an equity purchase consideration of $21.9 billion and the assumption of $12.6 billion in Cox debt and lease obligations.
The $21.9 billion equity consideration is comprised of $11.9 billion in common units, $6 billion notional value in preferred units, and $4 billion in cash, the analyst said.

The combined entity's pro forma economic ownership will be 67% Charter, 23% Cox, and 10% Advance/Newhouse, according to Ehrlich. She views the $33.9 billion transaction as value accretive, noting it implies a ~6.44x EV/2025E EBITDA multiple before synergies. With $500 million in synergies—likely a conservative estimate—the multiple drops below 6x by year three.
Ehrlich said the deal will expand Charter's reach to 69.5 million passings, 37.6 million customers, and 35.9 million broadband subscribers. It also allows Charter to apply its pricing and packaging strategy across an additional 12.3 million passings and pursue mid-sized commercial and enterprise markets more aggressively.
As per Ehrlich, the deal should not present significant regulatory hurdles and should likely close in mid-2026. The companies do not have overlapping footprints, and 69.5 million passings is only ~5 million larger than Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) (64 million) and also not significantly larger than AT&amp;T Inc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) (and AT&amp;T also offers nationwide wireless).
Time Warner Cable&nbsp;/Charter deal in 2015/2016 received regulatory approval in less than 12 months, and the environment has become significantly more competitive.
Ehrlich noted that Comcast is unlikely to present a competing bid due to a likely more difficult regulatory path.
The analyst expects the Cox merger to boost revenue growth across broadband, video, and mobile, improve margins, increase free cash flow, and reduce leverage. While integration may pose challenges, Charter's strong execution history and improving broadband and video trends should support EBITDA growth.
CHTR Price Action: At the last check on Monday, Charter Communications stock was down 2.1% to $418.27.
