The company said the COVID-19 pandemic had reduced earnings per share by $ 0.21.<\/p>\n<p>Revenue fell 5% to $ 42.3 billion, but it was above the average analytical estimate of $ 41.59 billion.<\/p>\n<p>In the third quarter, AT&#038;T added 645,000 new telephone subscribers, while analysts expected a loss of 9,000 customers.<\/p>\n<p>The company continued to grow its HBO and HBO Max streaming business and reached 38 million subscribers, up from 36.3 million a quarter earlier.<\/p>\n<p>AT&#038;T allocated about $ 600 million for this purpose during the third quarter, as a result of which the volume of investments for the year amounted to $ 1.3 billion. By the end of the year, investments are expected to reach $ 2 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Most AT&#038;T subscriptions come from sales shared with any pay-TV provider, such as Comcast, Charter, Verizon, or its own DirecTV. But only 3.625 million subscribers purchased subscriptions directly from AT&#038;T for $ 15 a month.<\/p>\n<p>In recent months, analysts have lowered their valuations of AT&#038;T shares, referring to strong competition from the company&#8217;s streaming services, as well as loss of revenue due to the refusal of users from cable and satellite TV services.<\/p>\n<p>In the third quarter, AT&#038;T lost 590,000 DirecTV satellite subscribers and lost 37,000 Internet subscribers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":124344,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[24490,26589,29887,24947,24953,29837,29836],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-124343","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti","newstag-at-amp-t","newstag-covid-19-pandemic","newstag-hbo-streaming-video-service","newstag-pandemyya-covid-19","newstag-pandemiya-covid-19","newstag-potokovyj-videoservis-hbo","newstag-potokovj-vydeoservys-hbo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/124343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=124343"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=124343"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=124343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
