AT&T (T) faces risks to longer-term broadband and mobile subscriber growth from satellite low-earth orbit constellations, Oppenheimer analysts said in a Wednesday note.
The analysts said that relative to its telecommunications peers, AT&T has the most broadband exposure, but note it is less exposed than cable service providers.
Oppenheimer said that while AT&T is planning new fiber passings in over 60 million homes by 2030, penetration will likely disappoint, and the company may stop at 50 million.
The analysts said they expect the company to face pressure on subscriber and average revenue per user growth over the next several years.
Oppenheimer downgraded the stock's rating to perform from outperform.
