Frequently asked questions

• Does AT&T pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 5.19% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 5.19% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 46.53% of net profits

  AT&T has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 5.19% of its share value annually.

  AT&T has paid out, on average, around 46.53% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.19% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 5.19% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In AT&T's case, that would currently equate to about 1.11 per share.

  While AT&T's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

  AT&T's most recent dividend payout was on 1 November 2026. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 8 October 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").

  AT&T's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.

  • Verizon Communications (VZ.US): 6.29% (6.28% forward annual dividend yield)
  • Lumen Technologies (CTL.US): 9.86% (9.86% forward annual dividend yield)
  • American Tower (AMT.US): 3.8% (3.81% forward annual dividend yield)
  • Crown Castle (CCI.US): 4.61% (4.61% forward annual dividend yield)

• When does the fiscal year end for AT&T?

  AT&T's fiscal year ends in December.

• Where is AT&T based?

  AT&T's address is: 208 South Akard Street, Dallas, TX, United States, 75202

• Have AT&T's shares ever split?

  AT&T's shares were split on a 1324:1000 basis on 10 April 2022. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1324 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your AT&T shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 24.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for AT&T shares which in turn could have impacted AT&T's share price.

• How do I sell AT&T shares?

• What's the easiest way to buy AT&T shares?

This type of order tells the platform that you're interested, so it'll try to execute it as quickly as it can. It could take some time for the order to go through, especially if there's a lot of volatility in AT&T shares.
