AT&T provides telecommunications services to consumers in the U.S. and Latin America and to businesses worldwide. SBC acquired the old AT&T in November 2005 and took the AT&T name shortly thereafter. The combined company acquired BellSouth Corp. in December 2006 and spun out its Directories business in May 2012. The company acquired Mexican wireless telecoms Iusacell and Nextel Mexico in January 2015.

U.S. stock indices are solidly higher at midday on Monday. Traders seem to be in an upbeat mood ahead of major earnings and economic news this week. Also helping multiple market sectors is a significant drop in the price of oil, this as Israeli airstrikes against Iran over the weekend did not include energy-related targets.

The wireless business contributes nearly 70% of AT&T’s revenue. The firm is the third-largest US wireless carrier, connecting 72 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 23 million customers, but this business only accounts for 4% of revenue. The firm recently agreed to sell its 70% equity stake in satellite television provider DirecTV to its partner, private equity firm TPG.
