AT&T continues downward run, marks seven-session losing streak
May 11, 2026, 4:01 PM ET -- AT&T Inc. : Jay Mehta, SA News Editor. [ Seeking Alpha ].

Shares of AT&T closed down 1.21% at $24.86 on Monday, marking the telecom giant’s seventh consecutive losing session.

The stock has fallen about 3.7% over the past six sessions, underperforming the broader S&P 500 Index, which gained 2.6% during the same period. Despite the recent weakness, AT&T shares remain up about 0.8% so far in 2026, though they have lagged the benchmark index’s 8.1% advance this year.

Some analysts are pointing to the telecom sector’s capital-intensive business model as a key concern. Bearish commentary has focused on a 19% year-over-year decline in free cash flow to $2.5 billion, as capital expenditures rose to $5.1 billion amid continued fiber network expansion. Critics have also highlighted a 25% drop in legacy copper-based revenue and net debt of $126.4 billion, which pushed leverage to 2.71x, above the company’s long-term target of 2.5x.

Meanwhile, Seeking Alpha’s Quant Ratings maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a score of 3.44 out of 5. The company received an A+ grade for profitability, while its growth and momentum metrics were rated D and C−, respectively.

On the bullish side, Seeking Alpha analyst Sensor Unlimited reiterated a Buy rating on AT&T, citing its first-quarter 2026 results and fiber-first strategy. The analyst pointed to growth catalysts, increasing share repurchases, and capital allocation flexibility, noting that buybacks exceeded dividends for the first time and lifted total shareholder yield above 8%.

Similarly, Seeking Alpha analyst The Investment Doctor maintained a constructive view on AT&T’s senior securities, highlighting the company’s stable financial performance and strong coverage ratios. The analyst noted that preferred shares yield between 6% and 6.5% with a payout ratio below 1%, while baby bonds, including AT&T 5.35% Global Notes due 2066 (TBB), may offer a more favorable risk-reward profile for certain investors.

Overall, both Wall Street analysts and Seeking Alpha analysts remain broadly bullish on AT&T, maintaining Buy ratings despite near-term pressure on the stock.

We’ve done it! Stock hit 99 cents.

I am expecting more layoffs. I have no insider info. I feel that they are going to keep pushng in the same direction. This means job cuts.

Lookat the stock price. It has gone up several times over since 2023, and guess what else started happening around then? The employee count began dropping hard. That is not a coincidence.

The stock price is what they are watching. it's not our frustration stress & complaints. Not our objections to RTO. Not 100s of posts about loyalty. Nah, not workload too. None of that matters when the number they care about keeps moving in the direction they want.

And now they are starting to believe AI can make human labor worth less than it is today. I hope that is wrong. I really do. I am almost certain it will not. But it sure feels like that is where this is headed.

I give it six months at the most.

AI infrastructure is where the opportunity is.
Dump adjacencies like Collab, Security, whatever Duo is, and Observability (aka Dozen Eyes and Sp--k). I won’t even mention CX and Outshīt, which are too obvious

Do those things and Cisco is legit $200 stock.

Sorry, not sorry.

FIS stock is trading at P/E of 60
Peer competitor FIServ stock is trading at P/E of 8.
In short, Institutions are holding the price, selling to retail. FIS employees buying ESPP will ultimately become bag holders.

Based on whatever is going on with Cognizant and outsourcing, FIS will split into three companies
Banking and Payments (FIS and Metavante) around $10/share
Capital Markets (SunGard) around $10/share
Managed Service Provider (Jim Johnson will be CEO) around $5/share.

If you own FIS stock, sell soon and bail out quickly

Early Jan stock was over $96. Down almost $20. One trick pony Charlie’s strategy of doing nothing but cutting run its course and now catching up to us

No more layoff news ?

Just ShitTel lovers jumping on each other heads to buy ShitTel stocks while ShitTel haters are selling them for profits ?

How many more layoffs this year or next quarter ?

CDW stock dropped 20% today after Q1 2026 earnings revealed a troubling disconnect: strong revenue growth of 9.2% to $5.68B, but shrinking margins. Gross margin fell from 21.6% to 21.0%, and operating income missed estimates by 18%. The market’s reaction wasn’t panic over one bad quarter — it was a verdict on a deeper structural problem.
CDW is fundamentally a “box sales” company — a distributor that moves IT hardware at scale. For years they’ve been trying to pivot toward higher-margin managed services and software to justify their valuation. That pivot isn’t working. Ironically, the AI hardware bo-m should be their moment, but instead of lifting profitability, it’s exposing exactly the problem: they’re selling more, but making less per dollar of revenue.
The long-term picture is concerning. Cloud providers and manufacturers are increasingly cutting out the middleman, and the managed services opportunity CDW was banking on is being eaten by AWS, Azure, and specialized competitors. With $5B in net debt, a deteriorating margin story, and a business model under secular pressure, CDW looks less like a buying opportunity and more like a potential value trap.

Why is the stock still hovering near its 52-week lows? With the IBM Think conference in Boston underway, you’d expect all the “good news” coming out of it to provide some lift. It’s essentially a homecoming-style rally for IBM—so why does the stock keep falling instead?

DXC traded around $59 per share in 2017 and spiked to $96 per share in 2018. But since then, save for a surge during the 2021 tech bo-m, it has been a long, slow decline. On April 30, it closed at an all-time low of $11.32 per share -- that is since it went public as DXC in 2017.

On an average annualized basis, DXC stock has dropped 17.7% per year over the past nine years.

This leadership under Mike is just moving deck chairs on the titanic!

• expense out (severance)
• expense in (all the new SVP's making millions each from JPM, know nothing about payments, bank software or anything other than consumer and commercial banking.
  Lots of luck, stock price down another 8%, I guess is improvement over the last few quarters with stock down 20-40%.

The more layoffs there are, the higher the stock price goes.
Even if another half the workforce is cut, it doesn’t seem to affect the capitalists’ ability to make money—although the product keeps getting worse and the service keeps deteriorating.

Stock is on fire 🔥

Have we figured how to increase sales? If not, no matter what you do (kick off lowly employees to save some change), wall street will keep shorting they will bring PE to 15 or less.

Alight Solutions SPAC merger and becoming a public traded company doesn't seem to be successful. What happened?

SLF = ~$23M in 2025
The toohster a cool ~$5M.

I hope the board owns up and slashes their salaries equal percentages to stock drop - ~30 percent following the stock drop since Jan 1. Least they can do.

Actually when they sell company off hopefully they don’t get any severance either.

Ok, what is actually happening with GFS price. Is it organic in any way or is it merely resultant of including Apple in recent headlines?

Those of you involved inESPP as well as those receiving RSU should be very interested in the answer.

Adidas told Kanye West to pack it up and took the hit. Cleaned house. Nike keeps doubling down with Travis Scott looking for a shortcut to relevance.
Adidas reports earnings and the stock jumps. Nike reports earnings and the stock drops.
Adidas is back to making gear for actual athletes. Winning marathons, on the feet of the best young footballers, everywhere that performance still matters. Nike feels like it is selling nostalgia and hoping the logo carries it.

Look at basketball. Adidas got Anthony Edwards. Electric, marketable, and compared to Ja Morant headlines he looks like a saint. One company reset and moved forward. The other one is going to to keep slimming down to greatness… make it make sense.

Curious?

Only then there is stock price maxxing

Tech has no idea what they are breaking with the people they randomly selected to depart. This will set the company back another year. Sell now while you can before you lose more! About to be Under Armor all over again stock wise!

They keep sabotaging the stock market- ridiculous. Show some courage and hold the stock for a change.

This was a slow week for Dell news on the layoff.com. Everyone must be happy the stock is chugging along.

Stock down 25%

Are we going to have layoffs next week?

Maybe replace SP with AR. Our life insurance policy rebrand is driving the company to failure. Could make former frontier exec take AR’s place and save big $$$ that way instead of cutting heads. Could also cut marketing operations too, their headcount will save a few million $ annually.

at least 'the other' company in OR is doing well

Ytd: WFC down almost 14%

Broader large financials: down 5.4%

Charlie Scharf, a banking legend only in his own mind. The growth is not materializing. I give him about 18 more months. Maybe he-l move to Chase when Dimon retires and f@&k them up too.

He better beat the expectations on Monday morning, otherwise stock is going back to under 40.

Therefore there is no need for layoffs.

We are safe.

No need to worry.

When stock underperformance stretches over years, restructuring no longer feels like a reset and we employees are paying for strategic failure twice...

Looks like from the outside Target is doing really well. Stock price is way up, lot of positivity on LinkedIn and social media from leadership, employees on social media seem really happy. Fiddelke said that they will also have positive comp sales every quarter this year. Is Target back?

SAP is in freefall because investors are reacting to weaker-than-expected cloud backlog growth and a softer 2026 cloud outlook, which raised fears that near-term growth is slowing. The selloff was also amplified by analyst downgrades/target cuts after SAP’s recent results. Is this doomsday for SAP?

Down 9% on opening. Is the jig up at IBM? Will they hit the RA button to try and salvage this sinking ship?

Down 5% today. Looks like the bounce is over

Typical smoke and mirrors.

Growing adoption of artificial-intelligence tools by businesses help boost the technology company’s quarterly results

By: Elias Schisgall |
Updated April 22, 2026 5:06 pm ET

IBM reported rising revenue and a higher profit in the first quarter, buoyed by the growing adoption of artificial-intelligence tools in businesses.

“AI continues to be a tailwind for our business,” IBM Chief Financial Officer Jim Kavanaugh said in an interview. “You see it play out in the results, as we captured demand for both technology and innovation around AI, but also services that help organizations orchestrate, deploy, govern, scale AI.”

The technology company on Wednesday reported a first-quarter profit of $1.22 billion, or $1.28 a share, compared with a profit of $1.06 billion, or $1.14 a share, a year earlier.

Stripping out certain one-time items, the company logged adjusted earnings of $1.91 a share, ahead of Wall Street’s expectation of $1.81 a share, according to FactSet.

Revenue rose to $15.92 billion from $14.54 billion a year prior, amounting to what Kavanaugh said was IBM’s highest first-quarter revenue growth in many years. Analysts surveyed by FactSet were expecting revenue of $15.63 billion.

IBM maintained its expectations of constant currency revenue growth of at least 5% this year, with free cash flow rising by around $1 billion.

Shares fell about 6.4% in late trading to $235.82. Through Wednesday’s close, the stock had lost nearly 15% this year.

Revenue in the company’s software segment rose to $7.05 billion, up 11%. Within that segment, hybrid cloud revenues, which includes the company’s Red Hat business, were up 13%, while automation revenue rose 10% and data revenue rose 19%.

Consulting revenue rose 4% to $5.27 billion, and infrastructure revenue was up 15% to $3.33 billion.

Free cash flow in the quarter was $2.2 billion, up around $300 million year over year. Analysts were expecting $2.04 billion.

IBM’s board of directors also increased the company’s quarterly dividend to $1.69 a share, up from $1.68.

The new payout, equal to $6.76 a year, represents a 2.6% annual yield based on IBM’s Tuesday closing price of $255.68.

The dividend is payable June 10 to shareholders of record as of May 8.

VOO is up 70% at the same time. No pressure Cigna leadership, take your time.

Of course all the so-called news is shallow parroting of IBM or "churnalism" void of real analysis.
