KeyBanc Remains Cautious On AT&T Despite Rating Upgrade

Comments
Loading...
  • KeyBanc analyst Brandon Nispel upgraded AT&T Inc T to Sector Weight from Underweight without a price target. 
  • It appears more difficult to justify further downside from current levels given simplification of the business, reduced leverage, and peers that trade at premiums, Nispel notes. 
  • The analyst cautions that he does not recommend owning AT&T and see a modest downside but thinks further downside might support a more favorable risk/reward.
  • AT&T trades at a forward P/E multiple of 8.3x versus Verizon Communications Inc VZ at 9.6x, PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk TLK at 15.2x, Orange SA ORAN at 8.5x, and Telefonica SA TEF at 10.6x.
  • Price Action: T shares traded higher by 0.99% at $25.55 in the premarket session on the last check Thursday.
