The Citigroup Global TMT Conference summary
22 Jan, 2026Key growth drivers and business mix
Six main growth drivers: broadband, business services, wireless, theme parks, streaming, and studios, now comprise 60% of revenue and are growing mid- to high-single digits annually.
Strategic focus is to shift the business mix to 70/30 and then 80/20 in favor of these growth drivers over the next several years.
Broadband remains resilient, growing ARPU 3%-4% despite intense competition from fiber and fixed wireless.
Wireless penetration is at 12% of the broadband base, with significant room for growth and potential acceleration.
Business services have reached $10 billion in revenue, with expansion into enterprise and midsize markets targeting a $60 billion TAM.
Competitive landscape and market strategy
Broadband competition is stable but more intense than historically, with fixed wireless seen as a niche and fiber as the main long-term competitor.
Ongoing investments in network upgrades (multi-gig symmetrical wires) aim to maintain a leadership position.
Bundling wireless with broadband reduces churn and enhances customer value, supporting the convergence strategy.
ARPU growth of 3%-4% is expected to be sustainable, driven by increased customer usage and value.
Segmentation strategies target price-sensitive customers while protecting the core high-usage base.
Capital allocation and financial management
Priority is reinvesting in growth drivers, especially network expansion and Epic Universe.
Maintains leverage around 2.3-2.4x, supporting investment through cycles and enabling consistent capital returns.
Over $50 billion returned to shareholders since 2021 through buybacks and dividends, with a current 3% dividend yield.
M&A is considered for niche capabilities, but internal investment is prioritized.
