#4 - AT&T (NYSE:T)
AT&T (T) - You can’t have a discussion about investing in 2020 without talking about 5G. But honestly, that’s not the reason to consider AT&T (NYSE:T) as a great dividend stock. AT&T has a massive dividend yield of over 5.5%. The company can support the dividend because it has a wireless subscriber base of over 150 million consumers.
Wireless communications make up the bulk of AT&T’s revenue and earnings. And while that isn’t changing, it may be getting supplemented now that it is entering the streaming space now that it has completed its merger with Time-Warner. Some analysts are concerned that AT&T may be late to the streaming game and others point to DirecTV as a dying business model. But neither of those issues should affect the company’s ability to generate free cash flow. This means AT&T should be able to pay down the debt from these acquisitions while still providing and increasing its dividend, which the company has done for 35 years.
