$T | AT&T Q3 Earnings: - Adjusted EPS: 65c (est 60c) - Revenue: $32.3B (est $31.7B) - Postpaid Phone-Only Churn: 0.92% - Wireless Postpaid Phone Net Adds: 379,000 (est 387,410) - Sees FY Adjusted EPS: About $2.40, Saw $2.25 To $2.35 (est $2.35)

AT&T reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of 65 cents, ahead of the 60-cent consensus, with revenue of $32.3 billion beating estimates of $31.7 billion. Wireless postpaid phone net additions came in at 379,000, slightly below the roughly 387,000 analysts expected, while postpaid phone-only churn held at 0.92%. The earnings beat flows primarily through operating earnings and cash generation, which matters for a capital-intensive telecom carrier that relies on steady free cash flow to fund dividends and debt service in a higher-rate environment. The narrow miss on subscriber growth points to competitive intensity in wireless, where traders will weigh whether the revenue and margin strength reflects pricing and mix rather than a slowing customer pipeline. Investors will focus on the reaffirmed or updated full-year adjusted EPS outlook of about $2.40 and on management commentary about fourth-quarter postpaid net adds, with rival carrier results and the next consumer-spending and wireless-competition data as the key cross-reads.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
