Better Dividend Stock: Alphabet vs. AT&T
The Motley Fool· 2025-07-28 09:37
Core Insights - The article discusses the contrasting dividend strategies of Alphabet and AT&T, highlighting the trade-off between high yield and growth potential in dividend-paying stocks [2][15]. Group 1: Alphabet - Alphabet initiated a dividend program last year and raised its payout by 5% to $0.21 per share, resulting in a yield of approximately 0.4% [4][5]. - Over the past five years, Alphabet's earnings per share have increased by 29.4% annually, with free cash flow reaching around $66.7 billion, of which less than 15% was used for dividends [5][11]. - Alphabet's strong market position in advertising and cloud computing, along with its dominance in the search engine and browser markets, positions it well for long-term growth [6][7]. Group 2: AT&T - AT&T's earnings per share have only increased by 15.8% over the past five years, partly due to the spinoff of media assets and loss of wireline connections [8][9]. - The company offers a high dividend yield of around 4%, which is about ten times that of Alphabet, but has not increased its dividend since a reduction in 2022 [10][11]. - AT&T's free cash flow was $19.6 billion over the past 12 months, more than double its dividend obligation, and is expected to remain sufficient despite a projected decline in wireline revenue [11][12]. Group 3: Investment Considerations - For long-term investors, Alphabet may provide better growth potential in dividend income, while AT&T may be more suitable for those closer to retirement seeking immediate income [15][16]. - If projected earnings growth rates continue, Alphabet's yield on cost could surpass AT&T's by 2035, making it a more attractive option for long-term investment [16].

The Motley Fool· 2025-07-27 18:30

Wireline Segment Challenges - The business wireline segment saw a 9.3% revenue decrease to $4.3 billion, shifting from an operating profit of $102 million to a loss of $201 million [8]. - Adjusted EBITDA for this segment fell by 11.3% to $1.3 billion [9].

Competitive Landscape - AT&T is aggressively competing with Verizon in subscriber additions by offering better deals and maintaining lower prices [13]. - The company aims to leverage tax benefits from the "One Big, Beautiful Bill" to enhance its fiber network, especially as Verizon expands its fiber network through the acquisition of Frontier Communications [14]. Valuation Comparison - Despite the stock's pullback, AT&T trades at a forward P/E of about 13.5 based on 2025 earnings estimates, compared to Verizon's forward P/E of 9 [15]. - The valuation gap and higher yield of Verizon (about 6%) suggest a preference for Verizon over AT&T, although both companies are seen as strong long-term investments [16].
