AT&T Stock Is Moving Higher: Here's Why

AT&T Inc (NYSE:T) shares are trading higher Thursday after the company reported better-than-expected financial results.

AT&T said first-quarter revenue decreased 13.3% year-over-year to $38.1 billion, which beat the $29.53 billion estimate. The company reported quarterly earnings of 77 cents per share, which beat the estimate of 59 cents per share, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

"We had our best first quarter for postpaid phone net adds in more than a decade and our fiber broadband net adds remain consistently strong," said John Stankey, CEO of AT&T.
