Citi upgraded AT&T (NYSE: T) from Neutral to Buy. Analysts see opportunity given market volatility and recent weakness in shares.
"We are upgraded AT&T shares to Buy as we believe the recent weakness (down almost 11% from its recent closing high on 6/25) provides a near-term value opportunity and does not reflect: 1) improving dividend coverage with upside potential from DTV merger-related synergies; 2) breathing room in wireless after Verizon backed off some of its aggressive promotions and AT&T increased wireless subscriber fees; and 3) consensus EPS remains too low for 2016 based on our unchanged forecast, even after the company's analyst meeting," said Citi.
