AT&T should be bought at current share levels, says JPMorgan
JPMorgan analyst Philip Cusick lowered the firm's price target on AT&T to $22 from $23 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The company's operating business was solid in Q1 but volumes of sales and gross adds were down substantially year-over-year, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm sees a "very favorable risk/reward" at the $17.65 per share and recommends buying at current levels.
HSBC upgrades AT&T to Buy, sees opportunity on selloff
HSBC analyst Adam Fox-Rumley upgraded AT&T to Buy from Hold with an unchanged price target of $21. The "severely negative market reaction" to the company's lower subscriber growth and "weak" Q1 free cash flow generation offers an opportunity, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says AT&T's growth in subscribers and EBITDA are still solid, and that its fiber upgrade appears the right strategy with optionality beyond the current footprint. Its guidance is "far from unreachable," contends HSBC.
