AT&T and Verizon continue to upgrade their wireless and Internet networks. Those outlays should keep new customers coming in and support their high dividend yields.
AT&T INC. $28 is a buy. The company (New York symbol T; Income-Growth Portfolio, Utilities sector; Shares outstanding: 7.0 billion; Market cap: $196.0 billion; Dividend yield: 4.0%; Dividend Sustainability Rating: Above Average; www.att.com) is the largest wireless (cellphone) carrier in the U.S., with 120.11 million subscribers (excluding mobile devices such as tablets) and 24.68 million wireless subscribers in Mexico. It also has 14.70 million high-speed Internet users and provides traditional telephone services to consumers and businesses.
In April 2022, AT&T merged its WarnerMedia entertainment business with Discovery Inc. to form Warner Bros. Discovery (Nasdaq symbol WBD). At that time, AT&T shareholders owned 71% of the new firm. The company also received $40.4 billion in cash as part of the deal. As a result of the spinoff, AT&T cut its annual dividend rate from $2.08 a share to $1.11. That rate gives you a 4.0% yield.

VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC. $43 is a buy. The company (New York symbol VZ; Income Portfolio, Utilities sector, Shares outstanding: 4.2 billion; Market cap: $180.6 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 1.3; Dividend yield: 6.3%; TSINetwork Rating: Average; www.verizon.com) is the second-largest wireless carrier in the U.S. after AT&T, with 146.1 million subscribers (consumers and businesses) as of June 30, 2025. It also sells traditional telephone lines, high-speed Internet and TV services.
Due to strong competition, the company lost 51,000 consumer wireless phone subscribers under long-term contracts (net of cancellations) in the second quarter of 2025. Even so, that’s a lot better than its year-earlier net loss of 109,000.
