Apr 27, 2026mda_quarterlyAT&T significantly reduced its outstanding common stock during the first quarter of 2026, repurchasing a total of 94,533,973 shares at an average price of $26.18 per share. This included 42,269,676 shares in January at $23.87, 26,073,343 shares in February at $27.84, and 26,190,954 shares in March at $28.26. The vast majority, 87,632,765 shares, were acquired under publicly announced repurchase programs. These programs are supported by substantial authorizations, including a $10 billion approval in December 2024 and an additional $10 billion in January 2026, neither of which carries an expiration date. Following this quarter's activity, approximately $13.452 billion remains available for future share repurchases. This aggressive capital allocation strategy underscores AT&T's commitment to returning value to shareholders and managing its equity structure. Furthermore, the company acquired an additional 6,901,208 shares through non-cash transactions, primarily for tax withholding on vesting restricted stock and performance shares, or in connection with stock option exercises, contributing to the overall reduction in shares.
Feb 9, 2026businessAT&T's capital structure features common stock, perpetual preferred stock (Series A and C), and numerous series of unsecured global notes. Over 7 billion common shares are outstanding, listed on the NYSE, granting one vote per share with directors elected by majority vote and provisions for stockholder proxy access. Preferred Series A and C, paying cumulative cash dividends of 5.000% and 4.750% respectively, rank senior to common stock for dividends and liquidation. These preferred shares are optionally redeemable by the company under specific conditions or a ratings event, and gain limited voting rights if dividends are unpaid. The company's debt portfolio includes multiple Euro-denominated global notes with fixed interest rates and diverse maturities, such as 3.550% due 2032 and 1.800% due 2026. These unsubordinated notes feature optional redemption clauses, including make-whole provisions, and tax-related redemption triggers. The governing indentures detail conditions for mergers, modifications, and default remedies, providing insight into the company's financial obligations and stability.
