Palanor summary

AT&T reported Q1 2026 revenue of $31.5B, up 2.9% year-over-year, driven by wireless service growth and a 27% increase in advanced home internet. Operating income rose 15.7% to $6.7B as service revenues expanded and depreciation declined. The company added 294,000 postpaid phone subscribers while net income fell 12% due to lower equity income from affiliates. Capex increased 14% to $4.9B, with spectrum and business acquisitions totaling $2.7B. The firm repurchased $2.5B in stock during the quarter.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
