AT&T's (NYSE:T) Earnings Offer More Than Meets The Eye
AT&T Inc.'s ( NYSE:T ) solid earnings announcement recently didn't do much to the stock price. Our analysis suggests...Seeking Alpha • Apr 25
AT&T: 8% Earnings Yield, Safe Dividend, Broadband Growth
Summary AT&T reported Q1 earnings that fell short of EPS expectations, while revenues beat the consensus estimate by a good margin. AT&T added 261k new broadband subscribers in Q1'25 and generated $3.1B in free cash flow, covering its $2.0B dividend. Broadband ARPU is growing. I maintain a strong buy rating due to AT&T's value proposition driven by free cash flow-backed dividends and accelerating debt repayments. Shares are trading at an 8% earnings yield, and the dividend should be sustainable, with an estimated forward dividend coverage ratio of ~200%. Despite risks, AT&T's consistent subscriber growth, debt reduction, and strong dividend coverage make it an attractive investment for income-focused investors.

AT&T: Don't Get FOMO At Peak Valuation
Summary AT&T stock has shown a massive bullish run in the past few quarters, which is a big change from the earlier negative sentiment towards the stock. In YTD, AT&T has seen an over 18% jump compared to a 10% dip in the S&P 500 and a big decline in many Mag 7 stocks. The convergence of fiber and wireless is a positive factor for the company and the management has also mentioned a $20 billion share buyback capacity, which can deliver better EPS. The current tariff situation might lead to investors giving greater preference to the stability of AT&T compared to other growth stocks, but the stock is already quite pricey. The company is expected to show barely 1%-2% of revenue growth in the next few years, and any economic slowdown or recession could still have a big negative impact on the stock.

AT&T: Dividend Doesn't Lie And Says Hold
Summary Since my last writing, AT&T's dividend yield has decreased to 4.24%, among the lowest levels in at least 5 years. In the meantime, its latest dividend declaration kept showing stagnating dividend growth. I don’t see the dividend growth to resume anytime soon given its CAPEX obligations, debt obligations, and margin pressure ahead. I expect a noticeable contraction of net margin pressure due to macroeconomic headwinds and higher churn rates. Given these new developments, I have adjusted my rating on T stock from BUY to HOLD.

AT&T: This Could Be A Top To Avoid
Summary AT&T investors are likely feeling exuberant right now, as the stock saw a 70% gain over the past year, likely stunning even the most optimistic bulls. The company’s focused execution, including shedding DirecTV and peak CapEx investments this year, should improve cash flow and debt metrics, benefiting shareholders. AT&T’s convergence strategy and partnerships are bolstering its bullish momentum, but questions remain about whether they have already been priced in. AT&T stock's valuation is much less attractive now, though it hasn't gone over the cliff yet. However, it's wise to take a step back, as this train could derail.

AT&T: Operational Excellence; Dividend Increase Could Happen
Summary AT&T has shown operational excellence and continued momentum into 2025 with no signs of a reversal in the trend. AT&T is successfully paying down debt, increasing adjusted EBITDA, and returning capital back to the shareholders at a significant magnitude. Stronger operations, a healthier balance sheet, and willingness for shareholder returns by the management team could translate to a return of dividend payout increases in the near future.

AT&T: Take Profits And Look Elsewhere (Rating Downgrade, Technical Analysis)
Summary AT&T's Q4 report showed mixed results, with strong fiber and mobility segments but significant declines in the business wireline division. Despite recent rallies, AT&T's current valuation metrics make it less attractive compared to competitors like Verizon, Comcast, and Charter Communications. Technical indicators suggest limited upside potential, prompting me to reduce my AT&T long position by 80% to capture 2024 gains. While AT&T's dividend payouts remain stable, I seek better share price appreciation and will look for new investment opportunities elsewhere.

AT&T's Surge Was Very Much Warranted And Investors Should Expect Continued Upside
Summary AT&T Inc.'s stock surged 6.3% after surpassing Q4 2024 revenue and earnings expectations, with strong growth in key segments and optimistic 2025 guidance. Mobility and Consumer Wireline segments showed robust performance, driving revenue growth despite declines in Business Wireline, with significant increases in subscribers and ARPU. Profitability improved, with net profits nearly doubling and operating cash flow rising, although adjusted operating cash flow saw a slight decline. Management's strategic actions, including asset sales and cost-cutting measures, are reducing net debt and supporting a favorable risk-reward outlook, reaffirming T stock as a “strong buy.”.

AT&T: Upcoming Earnings Could End 80% Rally (Sell Rating)
Summary AT&T Inc. has had a monster move. And while any stock can go higher, this one has a lot of good news priced in, and is prone to rolling over. Technical and quantitative indicators are my “weight of the evidence,” and the dividend safety rating here provides additional concerns. This is a stock that has spent 18 months getting back what it lost the few years prior, so this is not a time I care to step in. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Jan 14
AT&T Q4 Earnings Preview: All About Free Cash Flow
Summary AT&T's strong free cash flow and disciplined debt management signal financial health, supporting my prediction of a dividend increase by the end of FY 2025. AT&T's Q4 2024 free cash flow is expected between $4.2 billion and $5.2 billion, ensuring ample coverage for dividends and potential increases. Analysts' upgrades and AT&T's commitment to $40 billion in shareholder returns over three years highlight confidence in the company's strategic direction. Despite recent revenue misses, I predict a small beat in Q4 earnings, maintaining my "Buy" rating on AT&T stock. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Dec 27
AT&T: A Strong Yield, Selling At A Discount
Summary AT&T's recent stock dip offers a buying opportunity, supported by strong Fiber Broadband growth and a promising free cash flow outlook. The Telco's aggressive Fiber expansion aims to increase Fiber-ready locations from 29 million in 2024 to over 50 million by 2029. AT&T's free cash flow is projected to grow by $1 billion annually until 2027, bolstering dividends, buybacks, and financial flexibility. Despite past debt issues, AT&T's focus on Fiber and deleveraging enhances its value proposition, making it attractive for passive income investors.

AT&T: Let Your Profit Run (Technical Analysis)
Summary Besides improving financials and guidance as reported in its Q3, I also see other bullish indicators. AT&T stock has broken out key resistance levels recently and cleared more space for further price gain. Despite recent rallies, T stock remains attractively valued, especially when adjusted for growth and yield. With a ~10x P/E, its PEGY ratio is still below 1x, considering a 6% growth potential and 4.75% dividend yield. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Dec 03

AT&T: Preferreds Likely To Outperform Over Next 6 Months
Summary AT&T reported another strong quarter and the stock continued to move higher. AT&T's 12% forward free cash flow yield and low debt to EBITDA support a longer term case. There are some risks here, and we think preferreds could outperform until the middle of 2025. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Nov 19
AT&T: Could Be A Magnet For Value Investors
Summary AT&T has rebounded significantly, with shares up over 40% in the past year, driven by strong free cash flow and improving financial metrics. Despite risks like high debt and competition, AT&T's focus on core business and debt reduction positions it for future capital appreciation and strong dividends. AT&T's consistent growth in subscribers and revenue, coupled with substantial free cash flow, allows for continued debt reduction and potential dividend increases. With a lower rate environment, AT&T can refinance high-yield debt, potentially reducing interest expenses by $1-$2 billion annually, enhancing margins and valuation.

AT&T: Q3 Marks An Inflection Point
Summary AT&T recently provided guidance for its free cash flow target and also its deleverage plan. Given the updated guidance, I expect its growth CAPEX allocation to drastically improve in the next 1~2 years. I further expect such an improvement to be an inflection point for its stock prices. The improvement could fundamentally change the prevailing market sentiment and T’s growth CAPEX allocation. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
