Q2 Beats Expectations

August 9, 2024 - Q1's postpaid smartphone decline of 10% y/y improved to down 6% in Q2, driven by postpaid gross add strength and a better-than-expected improvement in AT&T's upgrade rate following the end of its 36-month financing transition in May. Postpaid gross add strength is supported by record-high switcher offers at both Verizon and T-Mobile. Aggressive switcher offers were apparent in T-Mobile and Verizon's higher churn y/y. The competitive intensity between T-Mobile and Verizon, including Verizon's exposure from its 36-month financing transition in the 2H24, supports our improved full-year 2024 activation forecast of a 5% decline y/y.
