Telephone and Data Systems reported Q2 2026 results on August 7, 2026. Earnings per share were $2.42 against a $0.09 estimate, a beat of 2,694%. Revenue was $309.3 million, 2.06% below the $315.8 million consensus. A year earlier, in Q2 2025, the company posted a loss of $0.05 per share.

Revenue in the table steps down from about $1.2 billion a quarter to about $309 million from Q3 2025 on, so year-over-year revenue comparisons are not like for like. Per-share results have also swung widely. The company lost money in 12 of the 13 quarters from Q3 2022 to Q3 2025, and each full year from 2022 to 2025 was a loss: $0.08, $5.05, $0.86 and $0.65 per share. The deepest quarterly loss was $4.64 in Q4 2023. Three profitable quarters have followed, and the first half of 2026 adds up to $3.51 per share. Over the last 20 quarters, TDS beat the EPS estimate 8 times and missed 12 times.

TDS reported Q3 between November 1 and November 7 in each of the past five years. That points to early November 2026 for the next report, which will show whether profits hold at the lower revenue level.
