VZ

AT&T and Verizon are facing investor skepticism due to issues of toxic lead in their telephone lines and heavy debt loads. Both companies have plans to reduce their debt in the coming years. AT&T's debt increased due to the DirecTV and Time Warner acquisitions, while Verizon's debt load increased after spending a record sum on wireless spectrum licenses. T-Mobile US has avoided the recent selloff as it does not own old landline infrastructure and does not pay dividends. AT&T and Verizon were among the worst-performing stocks in the S&P 500 index in the first half of 2023.
