AT&T stock rises as airline Wi‑Fi deal and analyst downgrade set up Jan. 28 earnings test
AT&T shares rose about 1% to $24.20 Thursday morning, recovering some losses from the previous session. The move followed news of a free in-flight Wi-Fi partnership with American Airlines and a downgrade to “sell” from Arete. Investors await U.S. jobs data Friday and AT&T’s Jan. 28 earnings call. AT&T remains nearly 20% below its 52-week high.
