John Stankey to Outline AT&T Growth Strategy at Goldman Sachs Summit
AT&T Chairman and CEO John Stankey takes the stage tomorrow at 4:05 p.m. ET at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference. The session arrives as the company leans into a strategy centered on fiber and 5G expansion to drive subscriber growth and long-term financial stability.
Management maintains its commitment to returning over $45 billion to shareholders through 2028 via dividends and buybacks. This includes a target of approximately $10 billion in share repurchases for 2026 alone. While the firm navigates the competitive landscape, it projects a return to a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio in the 2.5x range within three years. Investors will be watching for updates on how the company plans to balance its fiber deployment costs with the goal of achieving stable free cash flow in the third quarter, followed by stronger growth in the final months of the year.
