In Q4 2023, the net profit margin improved to 11.59%, showing a positive trend compared to the previous quarters. The negative net profit margins in Q3 2023 (-10.16%), Q2 2023 (-7.94%), and Q1 2023 (-8.26%) indicate challenges in generating profits during those periods.

Overall, the recent positive trend in the net profit margin in Q4 2023 could signify potential improvements in AT&T's profitability performance.
