Pays a safe 7% dividend. An issue is that they bought Time-Warner, so they need to reduce a lot of debt in coming years. They are the second biggest player in pay TV and mobility. In mobility, there's a great opportunity in 5G which will come to fruition later this year and more so in 2022. A bigger problem is Time-Warner: ATT is way behind the streaming business, and movies are in trouble during Covid. How do these issues play out? Hard to tell. To compare, competitors Verizon has shifted towards a telecom company, away from a media one. He prefers Verizon.

WiFi free globally is quite a concept. This would be a problem for the telecom sector, but it is a ways out. They decided they wanted to become a conglomerate in media. Their results have been mediocre. Their businesses don't work well together. 5G is not the hot seller they anticipated. There is no killer app that works only on 5G only.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly AT&T recently reported earnings and the benefits of the company's diversified strategy are showing through. The company is involved in communication infrastructure, cinema, and now streaming services. The yield it pays is large, but we think cash flow has to grow a bit to ensure its sustainability. Although its movie releases under Warner Bros saw revenue declines, that was made up for by its HBO streaming services. The company plans to sell off $10 billion in assets this year to further sharpen its focus. We would trade this with a $24 stop-loss, looking for an upside target to $34 -- over 25% upside. Yield 7.60% (Analysts’ price target is $33.60)

It has never been more than a dividend investment to him. If you look back a couple of months ago the 5G deployment strategy was going to create a long runway. However, the debt ratio is very high at 60%. He thinks cost savings and revenues from streaming services will help. His price target of $48 is contingent on 5G and streaming being successful. He would wait. Yield 6.9%.

Issue is direct TV. People are streaming a lot. Plus, took on a lot of debt. 5G will help them. Betting on being able to compete with Disney and Netflix. Nice dividend, not an expensive stock. In this environment, he thinks you're safe with it.

(A Top Pick May 23/19, Up 13%) This is doing what it should -- paying a 5% dividend and be less volatile. People are still watching tv. Their corporate debt is solid and they are paying down debt. He will look to buy more. Yield 6%

They bought Direct TV, which is losing subscribers; also have internet and wireless operations. They bought Time-Warner, so they're going into the streaming business, but have taken on a lot of debt to do that. They've sold some assets to reduce that debt which remains high. Pays a nice dividend though. In contrast, Verizon, sticks to internet and wireless. Verizon is more expensive.

Owns it in their income growth fund. Tries to buy it below $35 and would start reducing over $40. A nice fat dividend. Stock has been reacting a bit to some recent acquisions. You own it for the dividend, the long term growth is there.
