AT&T is branching beyond its usual telecom offerings with a benefit that could catch some customers off guard.

Palantir, AT&T, and Spotify have lagged the market in 2026, but UBS rates each of the stocks as strong buys.

Verizon Communications (VZ) trades near $48 a share and generated free cash worth 10.0% of its market value over the last twelve months. The median S&P 500 company manages 4.5%. A gap that wide usually means one of two things: a bargain, or a business the market expects to shrink. Verizon is neither, quite. The cash is real, and it is not all yours.

T-Mobile US (TMUS) stock fell 5.6% on 17 September to about $166, the lowest it has traded in a year. One session is not the problem: over the past twelve months the stock returned -28.5% while the S&P 500 returned 17.0%, and the year is what matters. A rising market did not do that. What changed is inside the business, and part of it is deliberate.

Wall Street's quick math on T-Mobile's rate hike exposure produces a frightening number, but that number depends on a reading of the debt stack that the actual quarterly filing does not support.

AT&T (T) is under the microscope after a mix of price hikes on older wireless plans and new perks such as virtual care access and 5G home internet for Cricket customers. AT&T’s recent plan changes and new perks are landing against a backdrop of mixed performance, with the 90-day share price return of 15.36% pointing to improving momentum, even as the 1-year total shareholder return has declined 8.96% and longer term total returns over 3 and 5 years remain strong.

In the most recent trading session, AT&T (T) closed at $25.86, indicating a -3.22% shift from the previous trading day.

AT&T (T) is up 4.4% over the last five trading days, while the S&P 500 is down 1.1%. Strength in a weak tape pulls money in. That five-day move is not the question. The question is what holding AT&T does to your money when the market moves, because over the past year it has tended to go the other way.

When VF Corporation slashed its dividend by 82%, it joined a club of corporate giants whose payout cuts either marked a painful floor or the start of a longer collapse. Five historical cases reveal the two metrics that actually separated the recoveries from the disasters.

The recent outperformance of Verizon and AT&T is not the kind of leadership that typically accompanies a durable growth cycle. Both names posted mid-to high-single-digit gains over the past month, while many of the growthier, internet, and entertainment stocks that dominate the (XLC) have lagged or declined. Verizon is up 26% year to date, comfortably outperforming flashier sector peers like Alphabet up 10%, Meta Platforms up 2%, and Netflix down 17%.

T expands customer benefits with complimentary LifeMD memberships, offering virtual care, prescriptions and pharmacy services.

Record first-half cash flow, rising revenues and a $19.9B backlog bolster TPC, though 2026 cash flow is set to trail last year's peak.

While strong cash flow is a key indicator of stability, it doesn’t always translate to superior returns. Some cash-heavy businesses struggle with inefficient spending, slowing demand, or weak competitive positioning.

Comcast (CMCSA) generated free cash over the past twelve months worth 20.1% of its market value. The median S&P 500 company manages 4.4%. Part of that gap is Comcast's debt. The rest means one of two things: the market has made a mistake, or the cash is about to get smaller. Comcast keeps losing broadband customers, and that is the market's answer.

Both burn cash heavily, but one trades at a large valuation premium, a gap that may or may not be justified by growth potential.

Stocks trading between $10 and $50 can be particularly interesting as they frequently represent businesses that have survived their early challenges. However, investors should remain vigilant as some may still have unproven business models, leaving them vulnerable to the ebbs and flows of the broader market.

Verizon Communications (VZ) has had a good year. The stock returned about 24% over the past twelve months against roughly 19% for the S&P 500, and at about $51 it sits at the top of its one-year range. The turnaround is real. What is not real yet is the revenue meant to pay for it.

AT&T (T) is running its largest year ever for fiber expansion, a plan for 8 million new locations, of which over 4 million were acquired from Lumen, and asking shareholders to keep funding it. It expects $23 billion to $24 billion of capital investment in 2026, and the roughly $18 billion of buybacks and dividends is essentially all the free cash flow left. Management used to justify the build product by product; with the customers, it was already winning. The lead now is one blended subscriber
