Have AT-and-T's shares ever split?
AT-and-T's shares were split on a 1324:1000 basis on 10 April 2022. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1324 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your AT-and-T shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 24.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for AT-and-T shares which in turn could have impacted AT-and-T's share price.

Is it worth buying AT-and-T stock?
Valuing AT-and-T stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of AT-and-T's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
AT-and-T's P/E ratio
AT-and-T's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 8x. In other words, AT-and-T shares trade at around 8x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
AT-and-T's PEG ratio
AT-and-T's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.0607. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into AT-and-T's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
AT-and-T's EBITDA
AT-and-T's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$44.3 billion (£33.4 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a AT-and-T's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure stock profitability.
AT-and-T share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, AT-and-T's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$20.7231 up to US$29.4727. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while AT-and-T's is 0.598. This would suggest that AT-and-T's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

AT-and-T share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 49.42% of net profits
Recently AT-and-T has paid out, on average, around 49.42% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.3% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), AT-and-T shareholders could enjoy a 4.3% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In AT-and-T's case, that would currently equate to about $1.11 per share.
While AT-and-T's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that AT-and-T may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
AT-and-T's most recent dividend payout was on 2 November 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 October 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
