Оценка менеджмента
Upbeat
Management expressed renewed optimism and confidence, highlighting strong execution, significant cost savings, and a clear growth strategy, with repeated emphasis on momentum and urgency.
Оценка AI от менеджмента
Management discussed AI Connect, its fiber-based product for hyperscalers and other customers, seeing significant demand and signed deals, with more in the funnel, positioning it as a potential offset to legacy wireline declines.
Инвестиции и мощности
CapEx is guided lower to $16-$16.5 billion, with $4 billion in savings, as the C-band build is nearly complete (90% done) and focus shifts to small cells and efficient fiber builds. Investment is targeted at mobility and broadband growth, rationalizing or eliminating non-core areas.
