AD revenue by segment
How Array Digital Infrastructure splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.
| Operating revenues | Q3 2026 | Q3 2025 | Change |

| Services | $1.4 million | $1.3 million | up 9% |
- Array Digital Infrastructure's Site rental revenue was $52.5 million in Q3 2026, up 14% from $45.8 million in Q3 2025, 97% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

- Q3 2026 (this page), reported Nov 6, 2026
What Array Digital Infrastructure's revenue is made of
Array Digital Infrastructure, called United States Cellular Corporation until August 1, 2025, is now a tower company: it owns 4,455 towers in 19 states and leases space on them to wireless carriers. Of its $53.9 million of Q3 2026 operating revenue, site rental was $52.5 million, up 14% from $45.8 million, and services were $1.4 million. (Array Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026; Array Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 20, 2026)
Array says site rental revenue grew mainly because of the master license agreement with T-Mobile that came with the August 1, 2025 sale of its wireless business. T-Mobile leases space on at least 2,015 additional Array towers for a minimum of 15 years and on about 1,800 more on an interim basis. Interim lease revenue was $4.9 million in the quarter, and Array expects it to keep falling as T-Mobile ends those leases before January 2028. (Array Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 6, 2026)
DISH Wireless worked the other way. Array stopped recognizing DISH revenue from the first quarter of 2026 after DISH said its obligations under its lease agreement were excused and then failed to make certain payments. Site rental revenue from DISH was $1.8 million lower than a year earlier in Q3 2026. (Array Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 6, 2026)
Array's largest tenants are T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon, and it lists reliance on a small number of tenants for a substantial portion of its revenue as a risk. It counted 4,372 colocations at September 30, 2026, a tenancy rate of 0.98, against 0.94 a year earlier once DISH is excluded. (Array Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 20, 2026; Array Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026)
What Array Digital Infrastructure's EPS includes
Array Digital Infrastructure earned $0.81 per diluted share from continuing operations in Q3 2026, against $1.25 a year earlier, on net income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of $69.6 million against $108.8 million. Most of that income came from outside the tower business: the operating line was a loss of $2.3 million, while equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities added $41.0 million and Array recorded an income tax benefit of $30.1 million. (Array Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026)
Equity earnings fell from $69.8 million because the year-ago quarter included Array's $34.1 million share of the gain when three Iowa entities it partly owns sold their wireless operations to T-Mobile. Short-term imputed spectrum lease income dropped to $7.7 million from $30.4 million after the agreements letting T-Mobile use certain Array spectrum expired on July 31, 2026. The quarter's effective tax rate was (75.6)%, which Array calls not meaningful because of favorable state tax changes on spectrum sales and purchased federal tax credits. (Array Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 6, 2026; Array Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026)
Diluted shares were 86,523 thousand against 86,846 thousand. Array paid out spectrum sale proceeds as two special dividends in 2026: $10.25 a share paid on February 2, 2026, totalling $885.5 million, and $11.00 a share paid on June 25, 2026, totalling $951.3 million. Array reports no adjusted EPS; its non-GAAP measures are EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted OIBDA. (Array Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026; Array Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 6, 2026)
Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.
Consensus and guidance at Array Digital Infrastructure
Array Digital Infrastructure publishes full-year estimates in its release and left all of them unchanged on November 6, 2026: total operating revenues of $205-$215 million, Adjusted OIBDA of $60-$75 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $220-$235 million and capital expenditures of $25-$35 million. Array does not give an income tax estimate, so it does not reconcile the guidance to net income. (Array Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026)
Revenue for the first nine months of 2026 was $160.0 million, so the unchanged range implies fourth-quarter revenue of about $45 million to $55 million. About $30 million of spectrum sales to T-Mobile, covering 600 MHz and 700 MHz licenses, received regulatory approval on October 7, 2026 and are expected to close in 2026. (Array Q3 2026 release, Nov 6, 2026)
A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Array Digital Infrastructure, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.
The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

How to check AD's figures yourself
Every number on this page can be traced to a document Array Digital Infrastructure published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.
- The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
- The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
- The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
- Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
