Why You Should Think About AT&T Differently Now?

AT&T (T) shares trade at 7.4x earnings, lower than the S&P 500's 22.5x. In July 2026, AT&T raised its 2026 buyback target to $10B from $8B, citing suppressed valuation. Management shifted focus from debt reduction to shareholder returns, with buybacks and dividends expected to total $18B in 2026, nearly all of its free cash flow. Debt ratio is projected to rise to 3.2x post-EchoStar deal but is expected to return to 2.5x within three years.
