The company faces intense competition in the streaming and 5G businesses and we will likely see only a modest rise in AT&T’s stock in the near term. As investors focus their attention on expected 20 results, we believe the recent rise in AT&T stock has already accounted for most of the growth in subscriber base, revenue, and earnings in the coming quarters.
Since late 2020: Weak quarterly results, but continued improvement in demand and progress with vaccine development buoy market sentimentĭespite the recent surge in Covid-19 cases we expect an improvement in demand (with lockdowns being lifted and vaccination coverage widening) to buoy market expectations. May-June 2020: Recovery of demand, with gradual lifting of lockdowns - no panic anymore despite a steady increase in the number of cases. April 2020: Fed stimulus suppresses near-term survival anxiety. Late-March 2020 onward: Social distancing measures + lockdowns. Early- to mid-March 2020: Fear of the coronavirus outbreak spreading rapidly translates into reality, with the number of cases accelerating globally. Though the debt level is quite high, a healthy cash from operations generation capacity over recent years provides the company a liquidity cushion to weather the current crisis. AT&T generated healthy cash from operation of $43 billion in the last twelve months. Margins in 2020 were hit due to lower revenue (y-o-y), higher equipment costs, and high asset impairment.ĭoes AT&T Have Sufficient Cash Cushion To Meet Its Obligations Through The Coronavirus Crisis?ĪT&T’s total debt decreased from $164.3 billion in 2017 to $157.2 billion in 2020, while its total cash went down from $50.5 billion to $9.7 billion over the same period. Despite higher revenues, margins declined over recent years with EPS decreasing from $4.77 in 2017 to -$0.75 in 2020. In comparison, the S&P 500 Index saw a decline of 51% and recovered 48%.ĪT&T revenues increased from $160.5 billion in 2017 to $171.8 billion in 2020, due to increase in post-paid connections. It recovered post the 2008 crisis, to levels of little over $28 in early 2010, rising by 18% between March 2009 and January 2010. : Initial recovery to levels before accelerated decline (around )ĪT&T and S&P 500 Performance Over 2007-08 Financial CrisisĪT&T stock declined from levels of about $42 in September 2007 (pre-crisis peak) to levels of $24 in March 2009 (as the markets bottomed out), implying AT&T stock lost 44% from its approximate pre-crisis peak. : Approximate bottoming out of S&P 500 index. - : Accelerated market decline corresponding to Lehman bankruptcy filing (9/15/08). : Approximate pre-crisis peak in S&P 500 index. Thus, we believe that AT&T stock is unlikely to go back to the pre-pandemic level any time soon, due to rising competition in streaming and 5G businesses. While HBO Max is expected to gradually increase its subscriber base, it will face intense competition from bigger rivals like Netflix and Disney. Also, AT&T continues to face intense competition from Verizon and T-Mobile in the 5G technology expansion, alongside Dish Network who announced a partnership with Amazon’s AWS for 5G.

The stock has significantly underperformed the market over the last one year because of a lackluster launch of its streaming offering – HBO Max, along with the acquisition of Warner Media not adding much to the top line in 2020 due to the pandemic severely hitting the movie and advertising revenues for media giants. AT&T stock has managed to gain only 3% from its March 2020 low of $27. It traded at $38 in February 2020 (just before the coronavirus pandemic) and it is currently still 28% below that level, as well. The stock is down almost 30% from the level of $39 seen in the beginning of 2020. We believe that at less than $28 per share currently, AT&T stock (NYSE: T) looks undervalued.
