About AT&T Stock (NYSE:T)

AT&T Inc. is the world’s largest telecommunications company by revenue and the 3rd largest operator of mobile communications in the US. The company’s F2022 revenue was enough to earn it the 13th position on Forbe’s Fortune 500 list where it has resided for many decades.

The company that we know today is the result of many mergers, breakups, and acquisitions that began with Alexander Graham Bell in 1877. Mr. Bell founded the Bell Telephone Company in 1877 shortly after patenting the telephone. Within a few years, the Bell Telephone Company had become the American Bell Telephone Company, to distinguish it from other operations, and in 1885 the AT&T or American Telegraph and Telecommunications subsidiary was launched.

The AT&T subsidiary was so successful that it outgrew and took over its parent. Between 1899 and 1913 the company built a massive network of telephone lines under government authorization. The monopoly earned it the nickname “Ma Bell” and led to antitrust proceedings and the establishment of today’s telecommunications legal system. The network was the primary mode of communication in America until 1982 when the company was forced to break up. The agreement allowed AT&T to keep its name and the long-distance service but split the local companies into 7 “Baby Bells” Oddly enough, AT&T will later merge with Southern Bell in 2005, then known as SBC Communications, to become the company it is today.

Now, AT&T provides telecommunications, media, and technical services worldwide. The company operates in two primary segments with several sub-segments. The two primary segments are AT&T Communications and AT&T Latin American. AT&T Communications has three sub-segments which include Mobility, Business Wireline, and Consumer Wireline. The Mobility segment, which is the largest segment by far, offers a range of devices and service plans through a network of distributors and vendors while the Business and Consumer Wireline segments cater to the needs of businesses, families, organizations, and institutions. The Latin America segment provides wireless services in Mexico under the AT&T and Unefon brand names.

AT&T is a leader in the switch to 5G. Its 5G service comes in three tiers that seek to unlock the full potential of the technology. The base AT&T 5G uses the low band for wider coverage and is able to reach 281 million people in 22,000 cities. The high-end 5G+ using millimeter wavelength is available in more than 45 major metropolitan areas, stadiums, and high-traffic areas. The 5G+ using C-band is a blend of the two offering the highest speeds with the widest coverage.

Should I Buy AT&T Stock? T Pros and Cons Explained

Pros

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in AT&T Inc.:

  • AT&T's current stock price is relatively low, presenting a potentially attractive entry point for investors looking for value opportunities.
  • AT&T's dividend yield of 6.03% as of the last dividend payment on May 1st, 2024, offers investors a steady income stream, which can be appealing for income-oriented investors.
  • AT&T's diverse range of telecommunications and technology services, including wireless voice and data communications, broadband services, and cloud solutions, provides the company with multiple revenue streams and business segments that can help mitigate risks.
  • AT&T's recent quarterly earnings report on April 24th, 2024, where the company beat earnings estimates and demonstrated a solid return on equity of 14.63%, indicating strong financial performance and management efficiency.
  • AT&T's consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" and an average target price of $21.54 as of the latest data, suggesting positive sentiment from analysts and potential upside in the stock price.

Cons

Investors should be bearish about investing in AT&T Inc. for these reasons:

  • AT&T's debt-to-equity ratio of 1.06 may raise concerns about the company's leverage and ability to manage its debt obligations, which could impact its financial flexibility and future growth prospects.
  • AT&T's revenue was down .4% compared to the same quarter last year, indicating a potential challenge in revenue growth and market competitiveness in the telecommunications industry.
  • AT&T's PEG ratio of 3.56 suggests that the stock may be overvalued relative to its earnings growth potential, which could lead to limited capital appreciation for investors in the near term.
  • AT&T's beta of 0.60 implies lower volatility compared to the market average, which may result in slower price movements and potentially limit short-term trading opportunities for investors seeking quick gains.
  • AT&T's 1-year high of $18.45 as of the latest data may indicate a near-term resistance level for the stock price, potentially capping upside potential for investors looking for significant capital gains.
