T is only good if you like over-bloated balance sheets lol and a decent yield. But not at 20x earnings.
Well.. ugh how do you feel about T with its P/E less than half of what you said?

MorningStar has T's forward earnings PE at 8.83 and its backwards looking PE at 5.95.

I think this came up in another thread on here but for some reason some sites come up with that high PE. It is most definitely a single digit figure right now.

Something's funny with that number.

AT&T's consensus forward one year EPS forecast is $3.62/share according to NASDAQ.com. LINK

Its closing price today is $30.10.

That gives it a forward PE of 8.31.

Yeah and the backward for the past 4 quarters is similar


So our lesson here today, kids, is don’t trust everything someone posts on the money board

It appears that ATT has $8 billion of cash on hand and $65 billion of current liabilities. I guess they can always restructure that debt to make it longer term.

From your forward PE I'll guess that the market expects yearly earnings of $25-30 billion.

Current book value (total assets-total liabilities) is $140 billion or so. Market cap is $220 billion. I think of that as the market implying future cash flows are worth $80 billion.

I read somewhere that their average interest rate on the debt is 4.4% (14 percent of which is variable rate). That was on SeekingAlpha though, which is all over the place.

Always a good idea to double check when a number doesn’t make sense. There are not going to be any telecom companies trading above the market average PE.

But it has other current assets not just cash. Comparing just cash to total current liabilities is not a very meaningful number.

In 2018 its estimated free cash flow was just under $21 billion.

That’s why I was sort of joking about t being a bow wow stock, I should have known better.

Unless you’re worried about debt service.

LSUtoOmaha was referencing cash on hand versus current liabilities, not debt service.

But debt service is why I referred to T's EBITDA and FCF.

They expect fcf to hit $26 bil in 2019 and net debt to EBITDA to be at 2.5x by end of the year. They could sell their stake in Hulu which would get them around $1 bil. They are about to have layoffs and haven’t even started creating synergies because of the ongoing Justice appeal on the TW merger, I believe.

Does anyone here know of a good website that lets you track company debt interest rates already on the books?

I’m sure Valueline premium or Morningstar premium would tell you that info but it won’t be free lol.
