JANCO Partners initiates coverage on AT&T (NYSE: T) with a Buy. PT $44.00.

Analyst, Gerard Hallaren, said, "We believe that in the quest for yield investors will ultimately accept a 4% or lower yield on AT&T stock...We believe foreign currency risk at AT&T is minimal but its small presence is one factor contributing to the yield difference between it and Verizon (NYSE: VZ)."

"AT&T tends to be more innovative than Verizon. It invested early in the iPhone (Nasdaq: AAPL) and developed a loyal customer base as a result of several years of exclusivity. Today the company is working with Nokia (NYSE: NOK) on Windows phones and we expect it to be early with the Samsung Galaxy 3 and, very likely, the Samsung Slate widescreen Windows (Nasdaq: MSFT) tablet."
