About: The wireless business contributes nearly 70% of AT&T's revenue. The firm is the third-largest US wireless carrier, connecting 72 million postpaid and 17 million prepaid phone customers. Fixed-line enterprise services, which account for about 15% of revenue, include internet access, private networking, security, voice, and wholesale network capacity. Residential fixed-line services, about 11% of revenue, primarily consist of broadband internet access, serving 14 million customers. AT&T also has a sizable presence in Mexico, with 23 million customers, but this business only accounts for 4% of revenue. The firm recently agreed to sell its 70% equity stake in satellite television provider DirecTV to its partner, private equity firm TPG.

Collecting dividend income on a recurring basis can help strengthen your financial position and be a way for you to be less dependent on other sources of cash flow.

AT&T's Dividend Remains Compelling Despite The Recent Price Appreciation
T remains a compelling dividend investment due to the stable profitability, rich yields, and strong FCF guidance, despite the recent price appreciation. Even so, we believe that the market's optimism surrounding the DIRECTV divestiture has been well warranted, attributed to its leaner operations and intensified focus on the telecom business. T's core business shows excellent performance metrics as well, with the lower churn, consistent net adds, and increased service convergence supporting its excellent FY2024 guidance.
