I’m a Technology Stock Analyst, with focus on companies developing cutting-edge techs. Keeping track of cutting-edge techs, companies and stocks is what I do almost everyday. And I love it. Whether it’s artificial intelligence, 5g, or autonomous vehicles; I’m all in.
Why no T included? 7% yield and it’s 5G related.
Rian It’s not just about the dividend. AT&T (NYSE: T) may have a great dividend payout at 7.27% but it had been struggling to keep it’s stock price up.
Last year, for instance, it lost over 20% of its stock’s price. Losing 20% to gain a 7% dividend is obviously not a great investment strategy, I suppose. This year, it’s stock price is down over
2%.
AT&T would have been a good 5G dividend stock if it can keep its stock up at a rate that makes sense. And they have been struggling to do so for a long time now.
The company is currently making negotiations to secure a $14B loan in order to buy 5G spectrum. Of course, the purchase of the spectrums will strengthen its position but the impact of the strengthen position, on a stock price level, might not be reflected in 2021.
Thank you for your response. OK. Fair enough.
I’ve done the math on reinvesting those divs back into the stock, down 15% over the last 5 years, plus more for inflation of course. A slightly lower price suits me just fine, and the average price is hovering basically around 29 now.
I think you’re right though as long as the current leadership continues, but who knows?
Thanks again.
You’re welcome Rian.
And yeah, who knows. AT&T can turn things around. Even so, they have to start turning things around before it’ll will make sense to go in. Until then, we just simply watch.
