This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

AT&T (T-N) is currently viewed as a company trying to navigate out of a prolonged downtrend, with some analysts expressing cautious optimism about its recent uptrend. One expert suggests the possibility of gradually investing, provided that the stock does not breach its January lows of $23. They also see a constructive outlook if the stock surpasses the highs around $26.50. However, concerns persist regarding the impact of rising interest rates on AT&T's considerable debt burden. Despite having an appealing yield of 4.4%, the company is criticized for its lack of substantial growth potential, and the prevailing sentiment is marked by a degree of skepticism about its long-term prospects in the face of market pressures. Overall, while it may be perceived as cheap, the growth aspects remain a significant consideration for potential investors.

DON'T BUY
His model price is $30.93 and this is dead on. Doesn't see a whole lot of capital growth in this company. 5.5% dividend.
DON'T BUY
There are better global telcos than this one. For a conservative investor looking for a reasonable yield pickup, it has been a very good strong story. Growth and yield of 5.6% is not as good as others such as Windstream (WIN-Q) or CenturyLink (CTL-N) with over 7% yields.
COMMENT
Will deal going on with AT&T have any affect on Canadian? Our telecom companies would be more attractive but regulatory limitations prevent they being taken out by a foreign company.
BUY
Getting some competition and expects Verizon (VZ-N) will take some market share. Expect there will be some leveling off of earnings in 2011 and then re-accelerate at a modest pace in 2012. Trades at about 12X earnings and has a fabulous dividend of over 6%. Not a bad place to be.
WEAK BUY
Problem is that they have 2 forces 1) wire-line which is struggling and 2) wireless side is doing well. This makes it a relatively slow grower but a great cash machine. Good dividend.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 14/09. Up 17.27%.) Considering switching to a similar company such as Vodaphone (VOD-Q).
WEAK BUY
Produce a lot of cash, but are challenged in growing because of wire line is holding them back. It’s a good holding for a defensive piece of a portfolio.
BUY
Old telecom companies are having a great go of it. Fixed wire line has become less important and all of them have gone through restructuring for wireless. Average revenue per customer is rising because of the success of smart phones. Great dividend yield.
BUY
Verizon (VZ-N) and AT&T (T-N) are major telecoms. Yield in excess of 6%, which is attractive in an environment where a 10-year bond is 2.75%. Could be a trap where you go for yield but capital depreciates. Doesn't think this is the case. Great cash flow, which they pay in dividends but also build out networks. Drag is their wire line business.
DON'T BUY
Compares poorly with Canadian telcos. Its network is terrible and in need of a huge upgrade.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 25/09. Up 8.23%.) Strong dividend yield of over 6%. Still likes.
BUY
Great story at these levels. Double-digit earnings growth going into 2011. Smart phone and the phone business is going to grow so is expecting higher margins. 6.5% yield.
DON'T BUY
Long or short-term is not exciting on this one. Sector is not growing the way it used to. Valuations are cheap but he expects it will stay cheap. Dividend is safe and will grow a little bit.
DON'T BUY
Doesn't own any US telecom stocks. Has had the monopoly on iPhones but looks like Apple (AAPL-Q) will be developing a phone for the Verizon (VZ-N) network, which could have a negative impact on this company. Prefers Canadian wireless plays.
DON'T BUY
Prefers Verizon. AT7T has poorer network.
