I have been long time T holder for the dividend and stability during market volatility and downturns. At my peak I had about 3k shares but cut my position down to about 1200 shares earlier this year when the stock was above $28.
Recently I have been considering loading up on more T for the future connectivity and bandwidth needs of hyperscalers and data centers.
AT&T is the biggest name in fiber internet with the largest footprint (by far) and they are top ranked when it comes to reliability.
With AI and the future need for connectivity and bandwidth, I see T growing substantially. It won't sky rocket overnight like the hyperscalers we are seeing today. But growing substantially with great stock appreciation on top of the dividend over next 3-5 years seems likely.
What are your thoughts?
