On October 9, AT&T Inc fell 6.59% Overnight, trading at $23.23/share with Turnover of $1301.42.
The decline followed SpaceX's announcement that it agreed to acquire a portfolio of US-wide spectrum assets covering up to 14 MHz of paired spectrum in the 800 MHz band, deepening Starlink's push into the American telecom market. AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile all dropped sharply in extended trading, with AT&T shares down as much as 5.8% in after-hours sessions before extended losses.
Broader context shows mounting competitive pressure from satellite connectivity: AT&T's CEO previously questioned Starlink's cellular plan, favoring fiber-based networks, while recent analyst actions include Scotiabank lowering its price target to $27.50 and Arete Research cutting to $23. The company has also pursued fiber joint ventures with GIP and CPP Investments, as well as an OpenAI legal design partnership, but the spectrum acquisition news dominated overnight sentiment.
