  • AT&T Stock Rises as Firm Buys AWS-3 Licenses, Eyes Dividend Ahead of Earnings
    June 27, 2026, 3:40 PM EDT. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) shares rose 1.34% to $22.72 on June 26, boosted by its purchase of 10 AWS-3 spectrum licenses for $120.8 million in the recent FCC auction. This spectrum acquisition cost was notably lower than Verizon's $3.16 billion outlay for 82 licenses. Investors are focusing on AT&T's July 10 dividend record date and its upcoming second-quarter earnings report on July 22. The stock volume nearly doubled its 65-day average, signaling strong market interest. AT&T's dividend yield stands at 4.89%, and the company aims to maintain robust free cash flow, targeting over $18 billion in 2026. Analysts highlight AT&T's cautious spectrum spending, suggesting benefits for cash returns but potential future network risks compared to higher investments by competitors.
