Alternative ways to invest in AT&T
Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including AT&T), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
AT&T is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is AT&T under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the AT&T P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
AT&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 13x. In other words, AT&T's shares trade at around 13x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of November 09, 2023 (20.44). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
However, AT&T's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
- Verizon Communications (VZ.US): 18.40
- Lumen Technologies (CTL.US): 9.80
- American Tower (AMT.US): 48.75
- Crown Castle (CCI.US): 37.06
AT&T's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.9447. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into AT&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.
However, it's sensible to consider AT&T's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
- Verizon Communications (VZ.US): 1.12
- Lumen Technologies (CTL.US): 45.77
- American Tower (AMT.US): 1.24
- Crown Castle (CCI.US): 4.80
AT&T's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $42.1 billion (£33.6 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of AT&T's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
- Verizon Communications (VZ.US): USD$48.4 billion
- Lumen Technologies (CTL.US): USD$8.7 billion
- American Tower (AMT.US): USD$7 billion
- Crown Castle (CCI.US): USD$4 billion
