This summary was created by AI, based on 3 opinions in the last 12 months.

AT&T (T-N) is currently facing challenges, evidenced by its stock falling below the 200-day moving average, which is also on a downward trend. Analysts are cautiously optimistic about the potential for the stock to turn around from its long-term downtrend, with some suggesting that small investments could be made as long as it remains above the January lows of $23. A breakout above the recent high of approximately $26.50 could indicate a more favorable outlook, allowing investors to add to their positions. However, the current economic environment, particularly the potential rise in interest rates, poses a risk due to AT&T's substantial debt. Despite being perceived as undervalued, the company is struggling with growth prospects, and some analysts recommend diversifying into pipeline stocks for better inflation protection. The current yield of 4.4% may be attractive, but long-term growth remains a concern.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 16/07. Down 2%.) Exited this last summer.
BUY
Now hitting on all cylinders. Still a cheap stock.
BUY
Wireless sector. Has a contract with Apple (AAPL-Q), which has turned out to be a little disappointing as clients have been able to unlock the phone and not sign with AT&T. Likes Verizon (VZ-N) better, which has a better strategy in terms of being able to deliver other products to the consumer. Both Verizon and AT&T are very strong.
DON'T BUY
This is 2 businesses, local phone company and wireless. Local phone is a terrible business but wireless is fantastic. Rather than owning a good and bad business, he prefers Sprint (S-N), which is all good.
BUY
This is an industry that is seeing better returns on capital deployed. This company held off on taking fibre to the home, which has been more profitable for them.
TOP PICK
Have made a number of acquisitions, and has done a good job of integrating their acquisitions. Has some yield and persistent growth.
HOLD
Has done really well. Most of the good news is already in the price. Has a decent yield.
BUY
Nice dividend yield. There is room for the stock to go higher. Getting some price increases in their enterprise business. Starting to push out a TV service that is having some traction. Looking for a dividend increase this year.
BUY
Really likes some of the US telephone service providers. There is a rebuilding going on at the network level that will allow the telecom service providers to charge more for the services and sell different types of services. There is also new content being pushed through the pipes.
TOP PICK
One of the worst performers in the last 5 years but is now showing some pretty good performance. Has gone through major restructuring. Cut a lot of costs and reduced capital expenditures. Through consolidation, he is seeing some pricing power. 4% yield. Low economic sensitivity.
TOP PICK
This is one of his long time favourites. He owns it, his clients own it and he is buying it for new accounts. It is the cheapest of the 5 banks. It is a safe place to be in a slow down. Evaluations are fair.
BUY
The wire line phone companies in general have not performed very well over the last 2/3 years, but they are not terribly economically sensitive, they’re cash flow generating machines and the environment is starting to improve for them. They are also getting price increases on their wholesale business.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 27/05. Up 14%.) Trades on both earnings and backlog. Aircraft orders in 2005 were at an all-time record. Earnings are expected to lift by 74% from Mar/05 to Mar/06 and then another 30% by '07.
DON'T BUY
A difficult one to call. Has done fabulously. This is #3 after Dofasco (DFS-T) and Gerdau (GNA-T). Might consider taking profits. Wouldn't buy at this time.
WEAK BUY
Has a lot of issues to deal with, but does have a good yield. A big issue with telecoms is the large amount they have to spend to move in the direction of Voice Over IP. Telecoms have a lot of competition, from cable, etc. Generates a lot of cash, but they are not growing. Basically they are a utility. If they can maintain market share they'll be fine.
