T vs. ETF Alternatives
Company Description
AT&T, formerly known as SBC Communications Inc. (SBC), was formed as one of several regional holding companies created to hold AT&T Corp.’s (ATTC) local telephone companies. On January 1, 1984, we were spun-off from ATTC pursuant to an anti-trust consent decree, becoming an independent publicly... More

- Friday, April 12, 2:47 PM Upcoming FCC spectrum auctions should be structured to guarantee smaller nationwide carriers - no doubt T-Mobile (DTEGY.PK) and Sprint (S) - are able to purchase a fair share, so as to "improve the competitive dynamic among nationwide carriers and benefit consumers," the DOJ argues in a public filing. Verizon Wireless (VZ, VOD) and AT&T (T), who are already complaining the auctions (arriving in 2014 or later) will cap how much spectrum they can acquire, can't be happy to hear that. 2 Comments [Tech]
- Tuesday, April 9, 2:49 PM AT&T (T) responds to news of Google Fiber's expansion into Austin by stating it, too, is ready to build a 1Gbps "fiber optic infrastructure" in Texas' capital. Naturally, Ma Bell, which offers U-verse services in Austin, says it expects to be "granted the same terms and conditions" as Google from local officials. But it provides virtually no details on service reach or pricing. Is this a PR stunt, an attempt to discourage Google from further expanding Fiber, or something more? 8 Comments [Tech]
- Monday, April 8, 1:39 PM Though it promised a March launch for 8 markets, AT&T's (T) Digital Life home automation service still hasn't arrived, and Ma Bell remains tight-lipped about the reason(s) for the delay. AT&T has touted home security/automation as a major growth opportunity, and bragged in February 30 companies have sought Digital Life licenses. Comment! [Tech]
- Wednesday, April 3, 11:23 AM So much for that: Following a consumer backlash, AT&T (T) has dropped its subsidized price for the cheapest version of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S IV (the 16GB model) to $200 from $250 (previous), putting it even with the 16GB version of the iPhone 5. The 32GB model will go for $250. AT&T's about-face drives home the challenges it faces in trying to lower subsidies for popular smartphone models, even as struggling T-Mobile USA opts to do away with them. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Tuesday, April 2, 7:05 PM Citi strategists tweak the criteria for their top dividend-paying stock picks, lowering the standard for dividend yield while adding a new filter for dividend momentum “to give more emphasis on dividend safety and growth." The full list: MO, AEP, T, AVB, BMY, ED, D, DD, DUK, INTC, KMB, KRFT, LLY, MCD, MRK, MSFT, NU, NOC, OXY, PFE, PM, RTN, SRE, SO, SYY, XEL. 5 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Tuesday, April 2, 5:30 PM Verizon (VZ) doesn't "currently have any intention to merge with or make an offer for Vodafone (VOD), whether alone or in conjunction with others," the telco announces, addressing an FT report about a possible joint bid with AT&T (T). Verizon does reiterate it "would be a willing purchaser" of Vodafone's 45% stake in Verizon Wireless, but that's pretty well-known. VOD -3.9% AH. VZ -0.8%. T -0.3%. 5 Comments [Tech, On the Move, M&A, Breaking News]
- Tuesday, April 2, 5:26 AM Verizon Communications (VZ) and AT&T (T) have reportedly been working on a $245B breakup bid for Vodafone (VOD) whereby Verizon would realize its long-held dream of gaining full control of Verizon Wireless and AT&T would obtain Vodafone's non U.S. assets. "Usually reliable people" tell the FT that Verizon and AT&T would offer 260p a share in what would be the biggest takeover in history. Vodafone shares are +4.8% at 195.64 pence in London. 7 Comments [Tech, Consumer, Top Stories, M&A, On the Move]
- Monday, April 1, 9:55 AM AT&T (T) declares $0.45/share quarterly dividend, in line with prior. Forward yield 4.88%. For shareholders of record Apr. 10. Payable May 01. Ex-div date Apr. 08. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Sunday, March 31, 11:33 AM What makes a good share buyback? Barron's cites four factors: i) Shares are in a downtrend. ii) It's a long-term strategy and not a short-term fix ( = >1% share count reduction/quarter). iii) Shares are cheap based on price-to-book. iv) The company has a rising dividend. The stocks that pass the test? Wellpoint (WLP), Seagate (STX), Western Union (WU) and AT&T (T). 31 Comments [Quick Ideas, Dividends]
- Friday, March 29, 2:25 PM A fresh 300M shares (5.5% of outstanding shares) have been added to AT&T's (T) buyback plan. The latest addition follows 300M-share plans approved in July '12 and Dec. '10. AT&T, whose capex is about to rise as it tries to match Verizon's 4G coverage and modernize its wireline ops, says it expects to maintain a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 1.8 or less. Since its buybacks commenced last year following the scuttling of the T-Mobile deal, the telco has repurchased 539M shares (9% of outstanding shares), boosting EPS in the face of flatlining revenue. (PR) 7 Comments [Tech]
- Thursday, March 28, 12:53 PM AT&T (T) will sell Samsung's (SSNLF.PK) Galaxy S IV for $250 with a 2-year contract. Pre-orders start on April 16, but no release date has been announced yet. The S IV's price is $50 above that of the 16GB iPhone 5, and drives home Ma Bell's efforts to lower margin-depressing phone subsidies. Verizon (VZ), which has a habit of following AT&T's lead (and vice versa), could follow suit. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Friday, March 22, 2:55 PM BlackBerry (BBRY -6.9%) plummets as the WSJ reports AT&T (T) "doesn't appear to be highlighting" the Z10 on its launch day, or "giving it prominent shelf space at its stores." The paper observes "fewer than 20 people" arrived at two Manhattan AT&T stores to see the Z10, and that a San Francisco store chose to display it "at a back corner of the store, away from a large sign advertising the iPhone 5." (earlier) 65 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, March 22, 12:34 PM FCC chairman Julius Genachowski confirms he's resigning. He'll be leaving the commission "in the coming weeks" after holding its top job for nearly 4 years, and his departure will result in 2 of its 5 seats being unfilled. Of the 3 that remain, 2 are Democrats and 1 is a Republican. Genachowski departs as the FCC continues to draw up plans for 2014 spectrum auctions meant to address soaring mobile data usage. (yesterday) Comment! [Tech]
- Friday, March 22, 3:45 AM AT&T West (T) wireline staff "fail to ratify" a new three year contract after the company had reached a tentative agreement with the workers' union in February. The deal would have covered over 17,000 employees in California and Nevada. Staff in other parts of the country have approved new contracts over the past several months. (PR) 1 Comment [Tech, Consumer]
- Thursday, March 21, 8:10 PM FCC chairman Julius Genachowski will announce tomorrow he's stepping down, the WSJ reports. AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) might be pleased to see him go: worried about the telcos achieving near-duopoly status in the U.S. mobile market, Genachowski helped derail the AT&T/T-Mobile USA merger and required major concessions from Verizon before signing off on its cable spectrum purchases. He has also been a supporter of municipal broadband projects, which AT&T and other incumbents have tried to derail. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Friday, March 15, 4:17 PM AT&T (T) could acquire Vodafone's (VOD) non-U.S. assets if reported talks between Verizon (VZ) and Vodafone lead to a merger, thinks BofA/Merrill. Analyst David Barden estimates $70B would be enough for AT&T, which has made its interest in foreign expansion clear, to buy Vodafone's giant collection of international mobile properties.
