AT&T announced on January 5, 2026 that its global headquarters will move from downtown Dallas to a newly developed campus in Plano, Texas. The 54‑acre site, formerly the Electronic Data Systems headquarters, will host a 14‑story office tower equipped with fitness and childcare facilities, and the company plans to relocate most of its 6,000 employees by the second half of 2028.
The relocation is part of AT&T’s broader strategy to consolidate operations, improve employee collaboration, and reduce real‑estate costs in the Dallas‑Fort Worth metroplex. By concentrating its workforce in a single, modern campus, AT&T expects to lower lease and maintenance expenses, streamline internal communication, and enhance employee experience—factors that can translate into higher productivity and lower turnover.
AT&T’s recent financial performance underscores the company’s focus on disciplined growth. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, revenue rose 1.6% year‑over‑year to $30.7 billion, driven by gains in Mobility, Consumer Wireline, and Mexico segments. Adjusted earnings per share remained at $0.54, matching the prior year, and the company reiterated its full‑year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance in the $1.97‑$2.07 range, reflecting confidence in continued operational leverage.
The fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 added further context: revenue increased 0.9% year‑over‑year to $32.3 billion, and adjusted EPS held steady at $0.54. For the full year, AT&T posted an adjusted EPS of $2.26 and generated $17.6 billion in free cash flow, evidence of robust cash generation that supports both capital investments and debt reduction initiatives.
Strategically, AT&T is investing heavily in 5G and fiber networks to capture high‑margin growth opportunities while simultaneously divesting legacy media assets to streamline its portfolio. The headquarters move aligns with this focus by creating a collaborative environment that supports cross‑segment innovation and reinforces the company’s commitment to employee experience as a competitive advantage.
The campus transition is scheduled to begin in 2028, with a phased move that will see the majority of employees relocate by the second half of the year. The new Plano location will serve as the central hub for AT&T’s global operations, positioning the company to better serve its customers and adapt to evolving market dynamics.
