Is AT-and-T stock undervalued or overvalued?

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 stock 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 stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks 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 stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

AT-and-T's EBITDA

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

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

AT-and-T stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 49.12% of net profits

Recently AT-and-T has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% 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 0% 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 stocks by 9 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have AT-and-T's stocks ever split?

AT-and-T's stocks were split on a 1324:1000 basis on 10 April 2022 . So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1324 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your AT-and-T stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 24.5% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for AT-and-T stocks, which in turn could have impacted AT-and-T's stock price.

AT-and-T stock price volatility

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

Beta is a measure of a stocks 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 stocks are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
