What's the Beef with: AT&T Inc.

AT&T (T)

“Because I am A(T&T)... I’m dynamite… A(T&T)” as the song goes. Well not really, but one thing is for certain: the stock is for sure dynamite, and ready to explode to new highs.

If you think about it, AT&T has a very attractive dividend yield and in a low interest rate environment the stock might be too cheap when compared to Bond Yields. AT&T’s Dividend yield is currently 6.10%, now that is over a 4% higher yield compared to the U.S Treasury 10-year bond yield.

This might make the stock attractive for investors in the months to come and oh yes did I mention the Ex-Dividend date for AT&T is the 9^th of July 2019. The company has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.51 per share with payment date set for the 1^st of August 2019.

Chart Life:

We can see that the downtrend might have finally be broken and we might expect the price to move higher from here. Some of the major levels to be aware of as the price action moves higher are indicated on the chart below. A closing price above $34.35/share might serve as a technical buy opportunity.

Keep in mind that the stock is going Ex-Dividend so one can expect the share price to move lower on the day and then the $31.71/ share technical support level would be watched carefully.
