COMMENT
AT&T

It is good to buy for the dividend of 6% and stability but not for capital gains. It has great free cash flow. Its latest report beat both on the top and the bottom and it confirmed guidance. Average analyst price target is $22.70

HOLD
AT&T

Not sure whether can keep dividend at current rate.
Lots of competition within sector.

WEAK BUY
AT&T

He prefers Canadian telecom at this point, like BCE, Rogers, and Telus. US firms overspent on content, levered up massively. In the US, he'd prefer AT&T for a turnaround over VZ.

DON'T BUY
AT&T

Hard to hold name, but won't see capital appreciation.
Decent dividend, but better names out there.
Has under performed S&p 500 since 2009.
Telecom stocks don't provide big returns in this stage of the cycle. 
High capital requirement make business challenging.
High debt levels also a concern.

DON'T BUY
AT&T

Great dividend. Cheap. Loads of upside potential. Analysts and market are looking for something to get going. Needs some catalyst to get people excited and the stock can get moving again. See his Top Picks.

WEAK BUY
AT&T

Dividend safe at this point. Looks like it's getting over mistakes of past like bad acquisitions. Sold ancillary assets. Dreadful stock over a number of years. Not much downside left. Still, he prefers Canadian to US telcos.

DON'T BUY
AT&T

As far as being a turnaround stock he refers to a comment by Warren Buffet - 'turnarounds seldom turn'. Telcos in the U.S. have been poor businesses the last few years.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
AT&T

Higher interest rates will be tough on company (lots of leverage). Company is a bond proxy with stability. Going forward, dividend is strong and balance sheet getting much stronger. Waiting for debt to come down before buying.

Telecommunications
BUY
AT&T
Better than expected earnings report. Projection going forward was rosier than analysts predicted. Expecting strong dividend. Ability to raise prices is good during inflationary environment.

Unspecified
AT&T
It has disappointed shareholders. It tried to branch into the content business by buying large companies and then letting them go without much explanation. It also cut back its dividend. Verizon is higher quality.
Telecommunications
DON'T BUY
AT&T
Unlike in Canada, US telcos have done poorly in their competitive environment. Not a fan.
Telecommunications
DON'T BUY
AT&T
Company caught in "value trap" where stock price looks cheap, however earnings disappoint and stock price continues to go down. Not much growth going forward and believes dividend must be cut. Believes a communication services company rather than a tech stock. Advises not to buy stock.

DON'T BUY
AT&T
Significant debt. Overall business is not growing enough to sustain that amount of leverage. People get sucked in by the high dividend yield. Borrowing to sustain the dividend is not a recipe for share price success. He doesn't own any of the telcos right now, and if he did, he'd look closer to home.
