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.

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 a current stock price of $22.59, which is relatively stable and shows potential for growth given its recent price targets from analysts.
The company has a strong dividend yield of 4.91%, providing a consistent income stream for investors, which is particularly attractive in a low-interest-rate environment.
Analysts have a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy" for AT&T Inc., indicating positive sentiment and potential for price appreciation based on recent upgrades from firms like Morgan Stanley and Citigroup.
AT&T Inc. reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.60 for the last quarter, exceeding analysts' expectations, which reflects strong operational performance and profitability.
The company has a market capitalization of approximately $162 billion, indicating it is a large and established player in the telecommunications sector, which can provide stability to investors.

AT&T
Bear Case

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

Recent earnings estimates for future quarters have been downgraded, with Zacks Research projecting a decrease in EPS for Q2 2025, which may indicate potential challenges ahead.
The company has a high payout ratio of 90.24%, suggesting that a significant portion of its earnings is being distributed as dividends, which could limit reinvestment in growth opportunities.
AT&T Inc. has experienced a slight decline in revenue year-over-year, which raises concerns about its ability to maintain growth in a competitive market.
Analysts have issued a mix of ratings, including some "sell" and "strong sell" recommendations, indicating a lack of consensus on the stock's future performance.
The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 1.09 suggests a relatively high level of debt compared to equity, which could pose risks in terms of financial stability and flexibility.
