Key Takeaways:

• The transaction sharpens AT&T's focus and capital allocation on building the strongest network in the United States through continued investments in fiber and 5G, further aligning its portfolio with its long-term strategy of advanced connectivity and convergence.
• AT&T's effort to consolidate and modernize Mexico's second scaled wireless network has well positioned AT&T Mexico for its next phase of growth. These opportunities are best undertaken by a local operator who brings attractive assets to improve the overall customer value proposition.

DALLAS, Oct. 13, 2026 /CNW/ -- AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) has reached an agreement to sell AT&T Mexico to Grupo Televisa and Fintech Holdings for $2 billion in cash at closing, subject to certain adjustments, plus additional contractual and contingent benefits.

AT&T has made meaningful progress advancing its investment-led strategy in the U.S., where customers increasingly choose AT&T for fast, reliable internet and wireless service. By continuing to prioritize its U.S. fiber and wireless networks, AT&T is engineering the foundation for advanced connectivity that consumers, businesses, and communities need for an AI-enabled future.

"We have articulated a strong belief that the AI future will run on converged networks with dense fiber assets," said John Stankey, AT&T Chairman and CEO. "This move positions AT&T Mexico to participate in that evolution and is consistent with our long-term strategy to focus our capital allocation on opportunities for growth in the vibrant U.S. market."

Since entering Mexico, AT&T's operating expertise has enabled the business to grow into one of the country's leading wireless providers. AT&T believes that Grupo Televisa and Fintech Holdings are well positioned to lead AT&T Mexico through its next phase of growth. Grupo Televisa has a strong operating presence in Mexico with its fixed-line broadband business, and Fintech Holdings brings fresh capital, local knowledge, and operational expertise in the Mexican wireless sector.

Transaction Timeline
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including any necessary regulatory approvals in Mexico.
