How has AT&T fared in 2025? We'll know very soon
Is AT&T still a popular choice of network carrier in the U.S., or is it going the way of Verizon and losing subscribers by the hundreds of thousands? The numbers from the first quarter of this year paint a very promising picture for the company and, come July, AT&T will release the earnings report for the second quarter of anecdotal claims have alleged that AT&T , similar to Verizon , is performing much worse compared to T-Mobile. The 'un-carrier' remains a favorite for many new and old subscribers in the United States. People from multiple regions across the U.S. say that T-Mobile 's physical stores are packed with customers, while AT&T and Verizon 's stores look empty. However, that isn't even half of the full picture. A lot of users don't visit physical stores, and similar claims to the above exist in favor of AT&T stores outperforming competitor locations in other neighborhoods. AT&T has a massive network across the country, with many areas where it provides the best cellular service. While it's quite clear that Verizon is losing subscribers, AT&T is very likely doing quite well for itself, even if it's not as successful as T-Mobile for now. AT&T remains many Americans' choice of carrier. | Image credit — PhoneArena Q1 2025 went really well for AT&T , and I'd bet that the same holds true for Q2. The company will probably showcase further growth, and discuss how it can attract even more new customers. It also helps that T-Mobile has recently been in hot water for price hikes and its controversial T-Life app. Verizon is also making mistakes due to its new AI tools, and customers are fed up. Users claim that their bills often feature services that they never signed up for. This presents a golden opportunity for AT&T to swoop in and snatch away users from both of its biggest rivals. The earnings report will be released on July 23, and a conference call will be held to discuss the results. I also expect AT&T to talk about its collaboration with AST SpaceMobile to bring satellite cell service to dead zones and directly compete with T-Mobile 's partnership with Starlink.

Netflix Thinks It Can Reach a Trillion-Dollar Market Cap by 2030. Here's What the Math Says.
Netflix's management reportedly believes it can double revenue and triple operating income by 2030. The company is increasing prices and building out its advertising service. It can hit these goals, but it is unclear if the company will be worth $1 trillion by 2030. 10 stocks we like better than Netflix › The world is Netflix's (NASDAQ: NFLX) oyster. That is what it has felt like over the past few years as the company has sucked all the oxygen out of the video streaming market. Its global presence and huge catalog of content give it a competitive advantage over streaming rivals, which is why viewers flock to the service. Revenue continues to march higher, while profits are soaring. Management does not think the growth party is over just yet. According to reporting from The Wall Street Journal, Netflix is aiming to reach a market cap of $1 trillion by 2030, which would be around double its current level at $500 billion. Here's the math behind the analysis and whether the company can hit these targets by the end of the decade. Video streaming processed through the cloud has turned the media sector into a truly worldwide game. Netflix has taken advantage of this global pie, investing to produce video specifically in markets such as Europe, Latin America, South Korea, and India. This global expansion is why it eclipsed 300 million total subscribers at the end of 2024, making it the largest pure-play premium video streamer in the world. With a global population of 8 billion and rising use of the internet every year, there is plenty of room to expand its total subscribers in the years to come. Another factor for Netflix's success is pricing power. In the U.S., its premium subscription tier has gone from $11.99 a month in 2013 to $24.99 currently. This more than doubling in monthly subscription fees has helped revenue grow by close to 600% in the last 10 years. More importantly, it has helped the company gain some operating leverage over its cost base, with operating income inflecting higher to $11.3 billion in the last few years. Free cash flow is now positive at $7.5 billion over the last 12 months, giving the company the flexibility to keep pushing for more growth globally. By 2030, Netflix wants its advertising tier to generate around $9 billion in global ad sales, up from an estimated $2 billion currently. This advertising tier was launched in 2023 and is a huge driver of new sign-ups for Netflix. As it rolls out globally, it will hopefully see even more customers sign up. Advertising has historically been a huge revenue driver for the media industry that Netflix decided to lay off of for a long while. Now, it is turning on this new revenue stream and hopes to see huge growth in the years to come. An easy way to connect with advertisers is by adding sports content. Sports leagues are one of the biggest draws for large advertisers because they bring in millions of live viewers for games, something that is not happening with traditional TV shows or movies anymore. Netflix is starting to invest in sports such as licensing World Wrestling Entertainment, which has weekly live events. Investors should track Netflix's investments into sports streaming rights in the years to come. They may have a large impact on the advertising revenue for the business. According to the reporting, Netflix aims to double its revenue to $80 billion in 2030 and triple its operating income to around $30 billion. Advertising revenue of $9 billion will be a large part of that equation. How will the company do it? It hopes to grow its total subscribers to 410 million compared to 300 million at the end of 2024. However, that would only lead to about 30% growth in revenue assuming no changes to subscription pricing. What this means is that Netflix will need to continue increasing the price of its subscription service while simultaneously growing advertising sales if it hopes to double revenue in the next five years. This is a tall task, but one it is poised to achieve. Operating income tripling to $30 billion feels doable as well. Expanding operating margins is not something a company can do indefinitely, but Netflix has consistently pushed up its operating margin in the last 10 years, hitting 28% in the last 12 months. I think the company can keep expanding its profit margins as it scales up to greater heights in the years to come. That $30 billion in operating income likely equates to $25 billion in net income when factoring in corporate tax rates. Should Netflix be valued at a trillion-dollar market cap if it generates $25 billion in net income? Maybe. That is a price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 40, which is well above the average for stocks, even durable growers like Netflix. It is possible, but not a guarantee, that the market cap will double to $1 trillion in the next five years. We have no idea what the stock's future P/E will be. It still remains a good hold for investors who have bought the stock in the past. However, I don't think Netflix is a strong buy today.

How to Get Your First 1,000 Email Subscribers
By Jonathan Herrick Edited by Chelsea Brown May 22, 2025 Here's a step-by-step system for startup founders to build their first 1,000 engaged email subscribers — without guesswork or gimmicks. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. The digital world is saturated with social algorithms, pay-to-play platforms and constantly changing SEO strategies. However, one channel remains consistently consequential, direct and owned: email. Building an email list early on in your business development isn't just a marketing move for startup founders and business leaders; it's a smart growth strategy. Yet many wait until too late, focusing instead on social media followers or one-off ad campaigns. Email is where genuine relationships are nurtured, conversions happen and loyal communities are built. The magic number? Your first 1,000 subscribers. This isn't a vanity milestone or one I simply pulled out of nowhere — it's the start of a high-value, compounding asset. Here's a framework to get you there faster and smarter. Related: Don't Sleep on Email Marketing — Here's Why It's Still Your Business's Most Powerful Tool 1. Define who you're talking to (and why it matters) Before writing a single email or designing a signup form, answer this: Who are your ideal subscribers, and what do they want from you? You're not collecting email addresses to simply just collect them. You're doing so to start a conversation. Getting hyper-specific with your audience will be the best thing you can do to ensure those conversations are valuable. For example: A productivity app may target remote tech workers struggling with distractions. A wellness brand may target millennial parents looking for five-minute self-care tips. Once you're clear on your ideal audience, define your unique value proposition. It should answer the following questions: Why should someone join your list? What will they get in return? 2. Create an irresistible lead magnet In 2025, people won't give away their email for just a "newsletter." They want value, and they want it now. A lead magnet is a free, high-value offer that your target subscriber can receive instantly in exchange for their email. Effective lead magnets typically include: Checklists or cheat sheets Industry trend reports or whitepapers Templates or toolkits Short video tutorials or mini-courses Quizzes with personalized results Discount codes or early access (for product-led businesses) Your lead magnet should be hyper-relevant to your offer and audience. Make it: Easy to consume (no 50-page PDFs) Immediately actionable Aligned with what you plan to sell later 3. Optimize your signup experience You've got attention. Now, remove friction. Place your opt-in form or landing page where it matters most: Website homepage Blog posts with relevant content Top bar or exit-intent popups Product pages Social bios and link trees Partner content (guest blogs, webinars, etc.) Make the form frictionless: Ask only for what's essential (usually just name + email) Use persuasive microcopy ("Get the free guide" instead of "Submit") Add social proof if possible ("Join 850+ founders getting weekly growth tips") And make sure the design is clean, mobile-friendly and aligned with your brand voice. Related: These 3 Strategies Will Grow Your Email List for Free 4. Launch a welcome series that converts Your first few emails set the tone. A welcome series isn't just polite — it's strategic. Here's a simple three-email sequence to start: Email 1: Deliver the lead magnet and set expectations Introduce yourself. Explain what they'll get from your emails and how often. Email 2: Your origin story and value add Share why you started this business and how it helps them. Include a helpful tip or insight. Email 3: Social proof and soft CTA Highlight a testimonial, case study or popular product. Include a light-touch call to action (visit your website, book a call, check out your offer). This sequence helps build trust before selling — the key to sustainable growth. 5. Drive targeted traffic to fuel growth Now that your system is ready, it's time to get eyes on it. Don't wait for organic search to work; get proactive. Here are five scalable traffic sources: Organic social : Share lead magnet snippets on LinkedIn, Instagram and X. Use storytelling and pain-point content. Partnerships : Do email swaps or joint webinars with complementary businesses. Paid ads : Run low-budget tests on Meta or Google Ads with lead magnet landing pages. Communities : Engage in relevant Slack groups, subreddits and forums — share value and link to your opt-in. Content marketing: Blog posts optimized for long-tail keywords that tie into your lead magnet. Pro tip: Use UTM parameters to track which channels bring the highest-quality subscribers. 6. Segment and engage (even with a small list) You don't need 10,000 subscribers to start segmenting — you just need an intelligent system. Tag or segment based on: Source: where they signed up Behavior: what they clicked or downloaded Interest: what content they engage with Then, personalize future content, send relevant offers and nurture based on behavior. The more relevant your emails, the faster your list will grow because people will start sharing them. Related: How to Write Emails That Stick and Get Action 7. Don't just build — engage Your email list is not a vault; it's a living asset. Keep it warm. Show up consistently — whether it's weekly, bi-weekly or monthly Deliver value more often than you pitch Encourage replies (and read them) Test different types of content: behind-the-scenes stories, how-tos, Q&As, curated lists When people feel heard and helped, they stay. And they share. Reaching 1,000 subscribers isn't about overnight success. It's about setting up a repeatable, value-driven system that compounds. Once you have it, every new partnership, blog post or campaign fuels a growing engine. Email marketing isn't just a channel — it's your direct line to the people most likely to become loyal customers, fans and ambassadors. Start building that line early, and your future self (and business) will thank you.
