AT&T CEO on Fed rate cuts: They will make our stock look more attractive

Published On Sep 11, 2024, 12:34 PM

AT&T's CEO, John Stankey, believes that potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts could enhance the attractiveness of AT&T's stock, especially due to its relatively high dividend yield of over 5%. He highlighted that the company continues to show strong performance metrics, such as net additions in postpaid phone customers and consistent growth in mobility services. Despite a slight decline in revenue, AT&T is focusing on repaying its significant debt of $130.6 billion, which could lead to a better capital return strategy in the future.

With interest rates potentially declining, income-seeking investors may find AT&T's dividend yield appealing, likely resulting in increased buying activity for its stock. The company's consistent performance metrics also support a positive outlook.
