Shares of AT&T rose Thursday after the telecom giant\u2019s first-quarter results topped analyst expectations.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s wireless division, its largest unit, added 595,000 phone customers who pay a monthly bill, up from 163,000 in the same period in 2020. It also added 207,000 prepaid phone customers.<\/p>\n

In the WarnerMedia<\/a> entertainment unit, revenue rose 9.8 percent to $8.5 billion. The company doesn\u2019t break out how many people sign up for its streaming service, HBO Max, but said there are now 44.2 million subscribers to HBO Max or the traditional HBO channel in the US.

Revenue rose 2.7 percent to $43.94 billion, topping Wall Street\u2019s estimate of $42.76 billion.<\/p>\n

AT&T shares rose more than 5 percent to $31.74 in morning trading. The shares had increased nearly 5 percent since the beginning of the year as of Wednesday\u2019s close, while the S&P\u2019s 500 index has increased 11 percent.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
