The post AT&T Stock Forecast and T Dividend History: Is T a Buy in 2026? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) trades at approximately $25.27 as of May 15, 2026 — up 18% year-to-date and the best-performing major telecom stock in the United States so far this year. The company just reported Q1 2026 earnings that beat estimates on both revenue and EPS, is generating record fiber subscriber growth, and maintains a $1.11 annual dividend yielding approximately 4.3%. For income investors asking whether AT&T is a buy in 2026, the answer is more nuanced than it was two years ago. The dividend has been stabilized, free cash flow guidance is rising year-over-year, and the Lumen acquisition adds 1.1 million fiber customers.

Tony Kim May 15, 2026 09:19 HKMA Q1 2026 survey shows credit card receivables drop to HK$158B, while delinquency ratio edges higher. Seasonal factors remain key drivers. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) released its credit card lending survey results for Q1 2026, revealing a 3.8% decline in total card receivables to HK$158.0 billion as of March 31. This marks a reversal from the 8.7% surge recorded in Q4 2025, which was driven by festive spending and salaries tax payments. Delinquency and rescheduling rates ticked up slightly, with the combined ratio rising to 0.45% at the end of March, compared to 0.40% in the prior quarter.
