Get a deeper insight into the potential performance of AT&T (T) for the quarter ended September 2025 by going beyond Wall Street's top-and-bottom-line estimates and examining the estimates for some of its key metrics.

In 2022 and 2023, rising interest rates drove many income investors to sell their dividend stocks and buy risk-free CDs and T-bills for higher yields. But as interest rates decline again, many of those investors will rotate back toward blue chip dividend stocks.

AT&T gears up for Q3 earnings as it boosts 5G and fiber growth, trims debt, but faces rising competitive and financial pressures.

AT&T (NYSE:T) is scheduled to report Q3 earnings next week and pressure to deliver is rising. In addition to some operational metrics, decisions regarding AT&T's capital allocaiton would be of equal importance. Growth of Fiber ARPU will be one of the key performance indicators to watch.

AT&T has doubled its stock price since 2023, driven by network modernization and a renewed focus on core telecom operations. T is aggressively expanding its 5G and fiber networks, aided by strategic spectrum acquisitions and favorable tax incentives from recent legislation. Despite a saturated market and substantial debt, T's strong free cash flow, robust dividend yield, and infrastructure moat support its investment case.

AT&T (T) possesses the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.

AT&T Inc. offers a more compelling total shareholder yield than Verizon Communications Inc., despite VZ's higher headline dividend yield. T's aggressive debt reduction and recent share buybacks significantly enhance its total shareholder return versus VZ's more modest improvements. While T trades at a valuation premium on P/E, debt-adjusted metrics narrow the gap.

September was another strong month for equity indexes despite it historically being a weaker month, meaning we were able to buck that seasonality trend. The Fed cut 25 basis points last month and is expected to cut more going forward, which could help to keep optimism and momentum in equities. Pushing into all-time highs, I tend to allow cash to build up for the next downturn, but I still add every month regardless to help build up my cash flow.

AT&T (T) closed the most recent trading day at $25.6, moving 1.06% from the previous trading session.
