Dividend Stock Showdown: AT&T Stock vs. Verizon Stock

We bring another Dividend Stock Showdown to you! After all, we are always on the hunt for a great undervalued dividend growth stock to add to your dividend stock portfolio. We compare two giants in the Telecom stock sector against each other to determine which company is a better fit for your portfolio TODAY. The two companies in our analysis are: AT&T (T) Stock and Verizon (VZ) stock. What is the better stock to buy? Do you gobble up AT&T stock or do you go with big red and Verizon stock? The match must begin!

Telecom stocks are in our every day lives. You constantly use your cell phone, you are eager for the 5G networks to roll out and the two largest wireless providers in the U.S. is AT&T and Verizon. AT&T, though, offers more than just telecommunications, they offer an entertainment package as well. Does that make AT&T Stock a better pick over Verizon stock?

Both are two dividend monsters. AT&T stock price is currently trading at historic lows and offering up significant valuation. In addition, they are a dividend aristocrat. However, we can’t leave Big Red behind, as Verizon has increased their dividend recently and also is a leader in 5G technology.

We run both companies through the Dividend Diplomats Dividend Stock Screener to determine which company performs better head to head. This includes the 3 metrics of our famous stock screener (and one bonus metric). We compare the following metrics for the two companies:

Price to Earnings Ratio Less Than the S&P 500
Dividend Payout Ratio Less Than 60%
Dividend Growth History and Dividend Growth Rate
Dividend Yield (Bonus Metric)

In the end, it’s obviously dependent upon your personal situation, dividend portfolio and if they fit with your basket of companies you own. However, we both answer one important answer at the end of the video. If you had to invest in AT&T stock or Verizon Stock, which company would you pick?

You’ll laugh at our answers! Therefore, watch our video to find out which company comes out on top!
