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.

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.
