AT&T - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

AT&T
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in AT&T Inc.:

AT&T Inc. has recently received multiple upgrades from analysts, with Barclays and Citigroup raising their price targets to $27.00 and $28.00 respectively, indicating strong market confidence in the stock's potential for growth.
The current stock price is $23.88, which is close to the consensus price target of $24.73, suggesting that there may be room for appreciation as the market aligns with analyst expectations.
AT&T Inc. has a solid dividend yield of approximately 4.65%, providing a steady income stream for investors, which is particularly attractive in a low-interest-rate environment.
The company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.60 for the latest quarter, exceeding analysts' expectations, which reflects strong operational performance and potential for future profitability.
With a market capitalization of $171.35 billion, AT&T Inc. is a significant player in the telecommunications sector, providing stability and resilience against market volatility.

AT&T
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in AT&T Inc. for these reasons:

Despite the recent earnings beat, AT&T Inc. reported a revenue decline of 0.5% compared to the same quarter last year, indicating potential challenges in maintaining growth.
The company has a high dividend payout ratio of 90.24%, which may raise concerns about sustainability, especially if earnings do not continue to grow.
AT&T Inc. has a relatively high debt-to-equity ratio of 1.09, suggesting that the company is heavily reliant on debt financing, which could pose risks in a rising interest rate environment.
One analyst has rated the stock as a "sell," indicating that there are differing opinions on the stock's future performance, which could create uncertainty for investors.
The stock has experienced volatility, with a 52-week range between $15.94 and $24.03, which may deter risk-averse investors looking for stable investments.
