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

AT&T, represented by the symbol T-N, is currently experiencing a challenging phase in the market, as highlighted by several experts. The stock has fallen below its 200-day moving average, indicating a deeper struggle within its long-term downtrend. However, there are signs of potential improvement, as one expert sees opportunities for gradual investment if the stock does not drop below its January lows of $23. A decisive break above the highs around $26.50 could present a more favorable outlook, encouraging further investment. The company is currently offering a yield of 4.4%, but the rising interest rates might create additional hurdles due to AT&T's debt. While it may appear undervalued, experts caution that its lack of growth could limit any substantial upside in the near future.

BUY

Reports Thursday. Likes it as a ballast in his portfolio. Their 5G spending is moderating. Has been unloved for a while, but they will beat earnings this year.

COMMENT
It's been a clown show, but last quarter they beat expectations by adding significant subscribers while Verizon struggles. He hates AT&T less now. In this space, buy T-Mobil.
BUY
It's disappointed a lot in the past decade, but are undergoing restructuring. They are selling off businesses like content, paying down debt, and focusing on their core businesses. He prefers Canadian telcos, but based on valuation and turnaround progress, AT&T is top in the US. Their last quarter was encouraging. The path forward looks better than in the past decade.
BUY
Different company over the last 30 years. Attractive dividend, which is typical in that space. Not a huge growth profile, generates lots of cash, big capex requirements. Longer term, attractive opportunity as an income stock. Yield of 6%.
DON'T BUY
Restructured, cut dividend. He's not looking at it now. Thinks dividend is safe. Price is getting attractive. Hasn't executed well enough for him. He owns, and prefers, CMCSA. CMCSA has better risk/reward, with upside when cable installs return, a better way to play US telecom.
DON'T BUY
It reports Thursday. They usually put up decent, but boring numbers. Pass.
DON'T BUY
Hasn't done well. Not attracted to it. Bloated balance sheet. You have to hope it takes maket share from others. If you want the dividend and think it's safe, you could nibble.
DON'T BUY
Yield is 8.13%, telling you there's quite a bit of risk. Book value is around $26.50, may go to $27.50 next year. Yes, there may be spinoffs. Sees massive amounts of layoffs ahead. Almost 400B of debt, so if interest rates start to tick up, big trouble. Any big dips, for example to $22, would be a trade.
DON'T BUY
Propped up by outsized dividend. Absolutely fumbled dividend cut. Not in a good position, and not managing their bad position well. Low margin wireless business. Don't get lured in by dividends.
DON'T BUY
Below the 200-day MA, and it's falling. Real fear that dividend could be cut. Debt load is causing concern. High cost of maintaining dominance has affected profits. See instead TMUS or VZ. He prefers Canadian names.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
All telcos have lagged. Issue is whether they'll cut the dividend, and what happens then. In some cases, when a dividend cut is used to pay down debt, the stock can pop. If you want income, and you can get it at a discount, seriously consider buying. Once we get back to normal, the market won't always be chasing growth.
DON'T BUY
They report Wednesday. He still won't buy it--just because the stock may have bottomed, doesn't mean it's worth buying. Buy if it goes higher and he doesn't see a catalyst here.
DON'T BUY

They cut the dividend recently and announced a material transaction where they spin off their streaming assets to pay down debt. Don't ever, ever buy a stock for its dividend. You need to focus on the debt and the future of the business. He is not keen on this company. The best way to own 5G is to own AAPL-Q.

WEAK BUY
It's starting to grow again, and the dividend is safe.
DON'T BUY
They have an analysts' meeting Friday. Pays a 7% yield--can they maintain it? It's not worth the risk to reach for high yield in a rocky market, like now. You can lose.
