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.

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.

Enticing dividend gets a lot of attention. But you don't want to lose capital at the same time. Time Warner acquisition continues to do well in streaming, but there's a lot of competition. Verizon has the leg up on 5G. Questions whether the carriers are going to be the true beneficiaries of 5G. Look elsewhere. Yield is 7.1%.

Telco sector has lagged from the March lows. More of a value and dividend play. Yield now is 7.8%, and is that sustainable? He owns Verizon.

Pays a 6% dividend, but carries a massive debt and have a massive spend to upgrade to 5G. The divvy won't increase and they must pay down debt, but this is a solid hold.

Great dividend. Bought a lot and took on a lot of debt. DirectTV has declining subscribers. Can they grow their online business as well as Disney? Prefers Verizon, though it's more expensive, as it's focused on 5G and is a safer bet.

T vs. VZ Dividend stocks are much more valuable in low interest rate environments. He'd go with Verizon. Do you want to just go for the very high dividend? This could be a red flag. Could be at risk, and wiped out with capital loss on the stock side.

The dividend jumps out, currently 7%, which is attractive, though keep in mind this is a US stock, so Canadians will be taxed on part of this. ATT will protect that dividend. ATT is known as a consistent cash generator. He's less thrilled with the business though--the competition from streamers from Netflix et al is extreme and they're losing. So, the stock could deteriorate while the dividend stays at 7%. He's neutral about ATT.

(A Top Pick Jan 08/19, Up 32%) This was a catch up story and it had an attractive dividend. It is still attractive for those that don't want to buy bonds or preferred shares.

He is not in a hurry to buy yet because the share price has performed well over the last year, yet the dividend is only just in line with peers and the space is set to get very competitive. Compared to Canadian telecoms you also have the currency risk and no dividend tax credit.

Sit tight. Used to be very cheap, but then they made many acquisitions to be more competitive with their media peers. Debt shot up. The valuation has languished. Then an activist pressured management to allocate capital better. Wait as this plays out longer. It's still inexpensive.

One of two big operators. We're all using more and more wireless, so this is worth a bit. They've diversified. Not a strong position in streaming. Unclear where they're going. Fair bit of debt. Prefers Verizon. Doesn't see any problems for the next few years, so will probably continue to grow. Solid yield of 5.5%. (Analysts’ price target is $39.13)

He likes the sector and likes AT&T longer term. It's not recession-proof though, but could hold its own against its peers. It pays over a 5% yield, far better than a 10-year U.S. treasury bond.

In a competitive space with little growth in the US and Canada. Also, there's a lot of capex by all telcos to launch 5G, a lot of investment money. Not interested in this. Rather would buy Teleperformance (TEP) which provides outsourced call centres.
