At&t's Price Hike Signals Lower Competition in Wireless

Dow Jones07-14

1422 ET - AT&T's plans to raise prices likely signals easing competition across the wireless industry, BNP Paribas analysts write in a note. The company's move follows price increases from its major competitors, Verizon Communications and T-Mobile US. While the analysts are most positive on T-Mobile's positioning, they see AT&T's price hikes should be meaningfully accretive and help the company hit its own guidance and consensus expectations. "We view the recent price increases across all three MNOs…as a positive for the wireless equities, and a further signal that wireless competition could be moderating," the analysts write. AT&T shares are up 1.3%. (elias.schisgall@wsj.com)
