Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 24% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 12, 2025
AT&T's stock looks out of favor and may bounce a bit in the next few months. The high dividend and focus on bringing in cash and paying down debt can help steady the price. A busy earnings season could lift overall market mood, even though there is little company news. We expect only modest upside over 0-3 months, and prefer scaling in carefully given competition and ongoing network spending.
Primary drivers
- Price looks beaten down while recent average price trend is soft now
- High dividend and strong cash coming in draw buyers and steady interest
- Upcoming earnings across the market could make investors more willing to buy
- Rivals and heavy network spending may limit how far shares can climb
How it played out
T: target was not reached
Lyra published T at 25.87 on 2025-10-12 with a short-term setup. The thesis expected 10% growth and pointed to a beaten-down price, a high dividend, strong cash coming in, debt paydown, and a possible lift from earnings season. It also said rivals and heavy network spending could limit the move.
Inside the window, T peaked at 26.48 on 2025-10-17, a 2.4% gain. The 28.46 target was never reached. By 2026-01-10, the stock ended at 23.99. The thesis only partially played out: there was a small early bounce, but it stayed below the target and finished under the publication price.
What happened during the window
On 2025-10-22, AT&T reported third-quarter results, including 30.7 billion in revenue and 405,000 postpaid phone customer additions. On 2025-12-05, the FCC approved AT&T's 1.02 billion acquisition of spectrum from UScellular.
