Earlier this week, telecom stocks struggled, with shares of Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile all dropping on Tuesday. This decline was triggered by remarks made by Verizon's chief revenue officer, Frank Boulben, during a Deutsche Bank conference, which unsettled the telecommunications industry.
DALLAS, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- We will announce our first-quarter results for 2025 on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, and hold a conference call online to talk about these results. Important points: AT&T will share its first-quarter results on April 23 and will host a webcast to discuss them. The results will be available before the New York Stock Exchange opens on that day.
On Monday, AT&T predicted that its adjusted profit for the first quarter would match analysts' expectations, indicating a consistent demand for its affordable premium plans that offer 5G mobile and high-speed fiber data.
DALLAS, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tomorrow, the chief financial officer of AT&T will take part in a fireside chat to talk about the company's long-term growth strategy. Important points include that AT&T is focusing on a multi-year plan that prioritizes customer satisfaction and ongoing investment in their network.
AT&T's stock recovery has been one of the unexpected events in the stock market over the last year. Its shift from regular disappointments to becoming one of the top performers in the S&P 500 has raised questions about whether this trend will last or if AT&T can maintain its success in the future. Here are three reasons why investing in AT&T could be a smart choice for the long term, looking towards 2030 and beyond.
AT&T's stock recovery has been one of the unexpected events in the stock market over the last year. It has increased by about 52% during this time and is close to reaching its highest point in five years.
The shares of the well-established telecom company AT&T (T 1.46%) have experienced a comeback in the last few months. On March 4, the stock reached a 52-week peak of $27.97, marking its highest point in years, and it has increased by over 50% in the past year up to March 5.
Since my last update, AT&T's dividend yield has dropped to 4.24%, which is one of the lowest rates in the past five years. Additionally, the most recent dividend announcement indicates that dividend growth has not improved. I don't expect to see any increase in dividends soon due to the company's capital expenditure commitments, debt responsibilities, and upcoming pressure on profit margins.
After many years, AT&T shares have finally started to improve. From 2016 to 2022, the stock lost about 50% of its value. However, when including dividend payments, investors have seen a total return of almost 70%.
Identifying stocks that will do better than the market is quite challenging. In fact, First Trust advisors report that just 28% of stocks surpassed the S&P 500 in 2024.
