T = Trends Support the Industry, But Not Necessarily the Company
As stated above, wireless is on fire right now. With AT&T offering 4G, it’s a great option for anyone. The problem is the pricing plans being offered by competitors, especially when it comes to packages offering voice, data, and video. There is definitely a possibility AT&T will begin to lose market share over the next few years.
Conclusion
With a Forward P/E of 13.31, a 5.40% yield, and the other positives listed above, AT&T is a good risk despite the potential loss of market share in the near future. AT&T is an OUTPERFORM in the medium term.
