AT&T (T) Stock Falls Amid Market Uptick: What Investors Need to Know
Read MoreHide Full Article
AT&T (T - Free Report) closed at $27.62 in the latest trading session, marking a -1.71% move from the prior day. The stock's change was less than the S&P 500's daily gain of 0.28%. At the same time, the Dow added 0.43%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 0.09%.
The telecommunications company's stock has dropped by 0.85% in the past month, falling short of the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 6.2% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.37%.
Analysts and investors alike will be keeping a close eye on the performance of AT&T in its upcoming earnings disclosure. The company's earnings report is set to go public on July 23, 2025. On that day, AT&T is projected to report earnings of $0.51 per share, which would represent a year-over-year decline of 10.53%. Meanwhile, the latest consensus estimate predicts the revenue to be $30.53 billion, indicating a 2.48% increase compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $2.03 per share and revenue of $124.26 billion. These totals would mark changes of -10.18% and +1.57%, respectively, from last year.
It's also important for investors to be aware of any recent modifications to analyst estimates for AT&T. Such recent modifications usually signify the changing landscape of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the business outlook.
Our research suggests that these changes in estimates have a direct relationship with upcoming stock price performance. To take advantage of this, we've established the Zacks Rank, an exclusive model that considers these estimated changes and delivers an operational rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection has moved 0.06% lower. Currently, AT&T is carrying a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
Investors should also note AT&T's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 13.86. This expresses a discount compared to the average Forward P/E of 22.03 of its industry.
Also, we should mention that T has a PEG ratio of 3.51. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. The Wireless National industry had an average PEG ratio of 3.42 as trading concluded yesterday.
The Wireless National industry is part of the Computer and Technology sector. With its current Zacks Industry Rank of 160, this industry ranks in the bottom 36% of all industries, numbering over 250.
The Zacks Industry Rank assesses the vigor of our specific industry groups by computing the average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks incorporated in the groups. Our research shows that the top 50% rated industries outperform the bottom half by a factor of 2 to 1.
