Let's talk about AT&T after the company posted earnings Monday morning. 

"AT&T said adjusted earnings for the three months ending in September came in at 94 cents per share, up 4.4% from the same period last year and one penny ahead of the Street consensus forecast. Group revenues, AT&T said, fell 2.5% to $44.6 billion, missing analysts' forecasts of a $45 billion tally, as it added a much better-than-expected 101,000 new customers to its wireless service that pay a monthly bill," reported TheStreet's Martin Baccardax.

Looking into the near-term, AT&T said it sees adjusted earnings in 2020 of between $3.60 and $3.70 per share and consolidated revenue growth of between 1% and 2% for the next three years.
