#1 - AT&T (NYSE:T)
AT&T (T) - If I were giving you a pure telecom play, I could probably find a different stock. But the reason to choose AT&T (NYSE:T) goes beyond the idea that the telecom space will always be in demand. It also extends past the breakthrough that’s happening in 5G. AT&T is about all that and more.
With the acquisition of Time Warner (NYSE:TWX) content, the company is emerging as a player in the streaming wars. And there is increasing evidence that viewers, instead of consolidating their streaming services continue to add to them. This puts AT&T in a sweet spot of being able to deliver a whole home experience that includes mobile, wireless, and potentially their entertainment as well.
The company does face a few headwinds in relation to its partnership with DirecTV. Specifically, whether DirecTV will lose its exclusive rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket, which is a primary driver of that service. But any impact from that is over a year away and in the meantime, you can be invested in a stock that has a dividend yield currently above 6% and approximately $50 billion in the bank.
