2023 Q4 earnings call sees a slimmed-down ADT eyeing growth in 2024

February 28, 2024Ken Showers, Managing Editor

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Following a year fraught with challenges for most companies, ADT enters 2024 leaner and hungry as it refocuses on its core business. On Feb. 28, 2024, ADT held its fourth quarter (Q4) 2023 earnings conference call to discuss both its financial results and its direction as it enters 2024 lighter after divesting itself of its commercial business and discontinuing its ADT Solar division. ADT provided a number of highlights for both the quarter and the...

United they fall

February 28, 2024Ken Showers, Managing Editor

Oh man, I really don’t like doing the same topic two weeks in a row, but we have to talk about ransomware again. It should be about the ADT webcast, but we’ll save that one for next week, as a treat. Instead, today we’re going to take our medicine and I get to say I told you so while discussing the ransomware attack on UnitedHealthcare by BlackCat. You’ll remember BlackCat (ALPHV) because we’ve covered it before, but also because in this very blog spot last week I...

It’s Valentine's Day and I’d love to mention that I have a sweetheart of a topic to share this week, but I’m sorry to say it’s left me a little brokenhearted. Since the beginning of February, I’ve been watching a lot of Q4 2023 reports roll out and while we can still safely call it the year of AI, it’s also the year of the residential security market falling flat on its face. I talked about this a bit in my last blog post where I discussed ADT...

Goodbye, Mr. Sunshine

January 31, 2024Ken Showers, Managing Editor

After a week of being under the weather I could use a little sun to brighten my outlook. Unfortunately, following some news last week, that doesn’t seem to be in the cards. I’ll get to that point in a moment, since it’s a little detour from normal security news. The actual news I wanted to discuss this week is the often discussed but still unreleased ADT smart home security system made in collaboration with Google. It so happened that my boss asked me earlier this week what was...
