Overview

Company profile and research snapshot.

Company profile

The wireless business contributes nearly 70% of AT&T's revenue. The company is the third-largest US wireless carrier, connecting 74 million postpaid and 17 million prepaid phone customers. Fixed-line enterprise services, which account for about 14% of revenue, include internet access, private networking, security, voice, and wholesale network capacity. Residential fixed-line services, about 12% of revenue, primarily consist of broadband internet access, serving 15 million customers. AT&T also has a sizable presence in Mexico, with 24 million customers, but this business only accounts for 3% of revenue. The company recently sold its 70% equity stake in satellite television provider DirecTV to its partner, private equity firm TPG.

AT&T Inc. Stock Performance

AT&T Inc. shares closed at $26.73, reflecting a single-session decline of 1.34% per SID market data. Despite the daily pullback, the stock has demonstrated strong momentum across multiple timeframes, gaining 7.35% over the past month, 14.73% over the trailing three months, and 9.96% over the past year. The stock currently trades well above both its 50-day moving average of $24.11 and its 200-day moving average of $25.63, according to SID market data, indicating a sustained uptrend. The 14-day relative strength index stands at 61.2, suggesting moderate bullish momentum without entering overbought territory. AT&T carries a beta of 0.593, reflecting significantly lower volatility relative to the broader market. Average daily trading volume registers at approximately 48.5 million shares, underscoring substantial liquidity. The company's market capitalization stands at approximately $172.2 billion, positioning it among the largest communication services firms.

AT&T Inc. Valuation Analysis

AT&T Inc. currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 7.82, according to SID market data, placing it at a notable discount relative to the broader Communication Services sector. The company's PEG ratio stands at just 0.10, per SID market data, suggesting the stock's earnings growth rate substantially outpaces its valuation multiple. AT&T's price-to-book ratio registers at 1.57, indicating the market values the company at a modest premium to its net asset base. The dividend yield stands at approximately 4.57%, according to SEC filings, continuing to position AT&T as one of the higher-yielding large-cap equities in the U.S. market. This combination of a single-digit P/E ratio, an exceptionally low PEG ratio, and an above-average dividend yield presents a valuation profile that contrasts with many communication services peers trading at higher earnings multiples. The metrics collectively reflect a value-oriented positioning within the sector.

Smart Money Activity for T

AT&T Inc. registers a smart money score of 70 with a bullish signal, according to SID market data. The institutional component scores a perfect 25 out of 25, reflecting strong conviction among large asset managers holding positions in the stock. Insider activity scores 22 out of 25, driven by notably one-sided transaction data: SEC Form 4 filings reveal 20 insider trades over the past 90 days, all of which were purchases with zero sells recorded during the period. This unanimous buying pattern among corporate insiders represents a significant directional signal. Congressional trading activity scores a moderate 14.4 out of 25, indicating some legislative interest in the name, per 13F institutional filings. The dark pool component scores 8.7 out of 25, suggesting relatively lower activity in off-exchange venues. The convergence of maximum institutional scores and heavily skewed insider purchasing activity provides a comprehensive picture of informed market participants accumulating shares of AT&T during the recent quarter.

AT&T Inc. Earnings Outlook

AT&T Inc. reported its most recent quarterly earnings of $0.16 per share on July 31, 2026, missing the consensus analyst estimate of $0.28 by $0.12, according to company earnings reports. This negative surprise of approximately 42.9% represents a material shortfall relative to expectations. Looking ahead, analyst estimates project earnings per share of $0.28 for each of the next three upcoming quarters, with reports scheduled for August 4, August 7, and August 11, 2026, per analyst estimates. The uniform $0.28 estimate across all three future periods suggests analysts anticipate stable sequential performance going forward. The consistency in forward estimates indicates Wall Street models a normalized earnings trajectory following the recent miss. Investors will closely monitor whether AT&T can close the gap between the $0.16 actual result and the $0.28 consensus target in subsequent quarters to validate the forward earnings assumptions embedded in current projections.

Wall Street Analyst Ratings for T

Wall Street analysts maintain a predominantly constructive stance on AT&T Inc., according to the most recent coverage updates issued on July 23, 2026. Morgan Stanley reiterated its Overweight rating, while RBC Capital maintained its Outperform designation, per Wall Street analyst reports. Notably, Wolfe Research upgraded AT&T to Outperform from Peer Perform, representing the most significant ratings change in the latest cycle. Argus Research reiterated its Buy rating, further reinforcing the bullish consensus. TD Cowen maintained its Hold rating, representing the sole neutral stance among the five recent coverage actions, per SID consensus data. The distribution of ratings — three Outperform or equivalent, one Buy, and one Hold — reflects a majority bullish tilt among covering analysts. The timing of these ratings, issued simultaneously following the company's earnings report, suggests analysts broadly looked through the $0.12 earnings miss and maintained confidence in AT&T's forward trajectory and strategic positioning within the communication services landscape.
