The company said the acquired business includes about 1 million fiber customers and more than 4 million fiber locations across 11 states, and that the deal is expected to close in the first half of 2026. Closing requires the expiration of Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting periods and receipt of a minimum number of public access rights.
AT&T said it plans to sell a partial stake in NetworkCo to an equity partner after the Lumen deal closes, and expects to identify a partner and complete that transaction within approximately 6 to 12 months of closing. It said it expects NetworkCo to be deconsolidated from its financial statements once that transaction is completed.
AT&T said it reaffirmed its full-year 2025 financial and operational guidance. It also said it remains committed to repurchasing shares under its existing $10 billion authorization, with plans to repurchase at least $3 billion of common stock by year-end and the remainder during 2026.
