AT&T (T-N) is currently in the process of attempting to recover from a prolonged downtrend, with experts noting the potential for an uptrend. Some analysts suggest it may be time to start buying shares, provided the stock does not drop below its January lows around $23. A break above the $26.50 mark could signal a good opportunity for further investment. However, rising interest rates could pose challenges due to the company’s substantial debt load, which has prompted some experts to consider alternative investments such as pipeline stocks for better inflation protection. The current yield stands at 4.4%, and while it seems inexpensive, its future growth potential is questioned by some analysts.

DON'T BUY
It is a defensive stock. They are spread out all over the place and they have a flat growth rate. You are buying it for the dividend. It is not worth holding it in a non-registered account. Canadian telecoms are actually still growing.
TOP PICK
They bought Time-Warner in a huge deal, so the big knock against them is taking on debt to do that. Also, can they blend TW successfully? Another knock is not growing their wireless subscribers; it's been slow and uneven. That said, ATT still generates a lot of free cash flow. Their priority is to pay down that debt, which will bring economic value to shareholders. It's simple math. Expect a 10% return + huge dividend of 6%. (Analysts’ price target is $34.28)
DON'T BUY
He owns Verizon instead where he'd rather be when 5G falls into place. Verizon is focussed on 5G. AT&T is not ready because they are distracted by merger talks. Switch to Verizon if you hold AT&T.
COMMENT
They own direct TV and just bought Time Warner. They are now in the content business. It has a fine dividend yield. It is watered down in terms of what it gives you as an investor.
TOP PICK
They are under the same threat as the others but they can pick content. They made an acquisition for content. 6% yield. (Analysts’ price target is $34.31)
BUY
Likes the chart for establishing a series of higher lows. He expects it to test $33.
BUY
He swapped Verizon out and bought ATT recently because last year Verizon was up 12% and ATT down 16%. ATT though is a good business and pays an attractive dividend of 6.8%, which is a rare, but safe level for a telco. A good, long-term story.
WEAK BUY
He is contemplating buying more. VZ-N is the market leader with less debt. With 5 G coming at us it will be the highest spend the industry has ever made. VZ-N is the quality stock but T-N made a big acquisition in Comcast. You could buy it for the dividend.
DON'T BUY
Owns Verizon instead who are building out the 5G network whereas AT&T is more into media after buying Time-Warner. He sold when AT&T bought more media.
DON'T BUY
It's no a phone company anymore. They bought Direct TV to get into the media business, which demands a lot of investment. ATT isn't the best competitor in this space.
DON'T BUY
He hasn't studied this in a while. The US telcos don't tempt him. They've acquired a lot of entertainment platforms, then paid them off. Bad balance sheet. He prefers Canadian telcos like Rogers who have de-levered a lot. Don't buy a stock only for its dividend.
DON'T BUY
vs. AT&T AT&T's 6.6% yield is safe, but the stock is dropping. He prefers Verizon with a stronger stock price though 4.2% yield.
BUY
He likes telecoms because of 5G and data-heavy applications. Data traffic will be enormous; people are consuming more and more data, huge amounts already. This will only grow. Only the huge telcos can support this traffic.
DON'T BUY
A base has not formed yet. It has a pretty significant downtrend. It will have a lot of resistance between $32-33 and until it chews threw that you will probably not get a base.
TOP PICK
Pays nearly a 7% yield. There's earnings upside; he sees a sector rotation where most telecos have sold off and are buying companies like this. (Analysts’ price target is $34.96)
