Ariel Investment made the following comment about ADT Inc. (NYSE:ADT) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“Leading provider of automated security solutions ADT Inc. (NYSE:ADT) advanced in the period. This quarter’s financial results continue to show that last year’s elevated investment in customer acquisition is paying off. Revenue and EBITDA came in ahead of consensus, and the company reported positive adjusted net income for the first time since its initial public offering. Additionally, the company announced another strategic partnership, this time with State Farm, the nation’s largest insurer. Longer term, we believe ADT’s industry-leading brand and national presence, coupled with these nascent partnerships with Google and State Farm, position it to be a prime beneficiary of growing demand for smart home technologies, including fully monitored residential security.”
