Is AT-and-T under- or over-valued?

Valuing AT-and-T stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of AT-and-T's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

AT-and-T's P/E ratio

AT-and-T's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 18x. In other words, AT-and-T shares trade at around 18x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

AT-and-T's PEG ratio

AT-and-T's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 6.4105. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into AT-and-T's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

AT-and-T's EBITDA

AT-and-T's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$42.8 billion (£33.8 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of a AT-and-T's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.

AT-and-T share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, AT-and-T's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$15.4575 up to US$24.03. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while AT-and-T's is 0.73. This would suggest that AT-and-T's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

AT-and-T share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 49.12% of net profits

Recently AT-and-T has paid out, on average, around 49.12% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.94% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), AT-and-T shareholders could enjoy a 4.94% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In AT-and-T's case, that would currently equate to about $1.11 per share.

While AT-and-T's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that AT-and-T may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

AT-and-T's most recent dividend payout was on 2 February 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
