Welcome to another Stock Investment Analysis video! In today’s video we compare Verizon and AT&T side by side as stated in the title. However, as an added bonus, I am also going to be comparing them both to T-Mobile and Comcast. In this video, I will answer the question, which of these media and telecommunication service companies is the best investment. We will also take an in-depth look at the companies’ characteristics, historical growth, forecasted growth, dividends, whether AT&T will cut its dividend, returns, valuation, margins, company safety and stability, and risk. If you have ever considered investing in these companies or have already done so, make sure you watch to the end to get a better understanding of these companies and some of the most important investment data to consider.

If you live in the United States, I am sure you have already heard of all four of these companies and are likely quite familiar with them. However, for those outside of the US, you may not have heard of them so I will briefly explain the companies. Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon have a huge amount of power in terms of the media and are three major internet service providers in the United States. Comcast owns notable companies like Universal, USA network, 37% of Hulu, Dreamworks, Buzzfeed, CNBC, NBC, and so on. AT&T owns Time Warner, HBO, Warner Brothers, CNN, Cinemax, TNT, DC, CW, and so on. Verizon owns Yahoo and the Huffington Post among others. In fact, after the Time Warner Merger, AT&T alone owned 98 companies.

AT&T and Verizon were the largest telecommunications companies in the world by revenue in 2018. Comcast was at 5th. T Mobile is also a US telecommunications carrier which has historically been much smaller than AT&T and Verizon. However, after its 2019 merger with Sprint, the fourth largest US carrier, the combined subscribers number put it above AT&T. Here you can see that back in 2019, Verizon had almost 90M subscribers compared to AT&T’s 75M. With the merger, T Mobile would be 79.07M. So, in summary, these four companies are primarily focused on providing internet, phone, and other telecommunications services and media services.

If you are interested in AT&T stock, Verizon Stock, T-Mobile stock or Comcast stock, make sure you watch this video. In this video, I compare AT&T (T), Verizon (VZ), Comcast (CMCSA), and T-Mobile (TMUS) on Company Characteristics, Historical Growth, Forecasted Growth, Dividends, Returns, Valuation, Margins, and Company Safety. Within those categories, I analyze a large number of variables including: price to earnings ratio, price to sales ratio, price to free cash flow ratio, price to book ratio, dividend, dividend yield, debt to equity ratio, fair value, target price, forward PE, the PEG ratio, EPS, EPS growth, dividend growth, return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), return on investment (ROI), normal PE, forward price to sales, gross margins, operating margins, profit margins, interest coverage, short term debt coverage, debt paydown yield, credit rating, current ratio, quick ratio, free cash flow yield, and beta. I compare the stocks on each of these metrics but also compare each stock to its own history.
