AT&T's (T 1.46%) stock turnaround has been one of the more surprising happenings in the stock market over the past 12 months. Its stock is up by around 52% in that span and has nearly touched its five-year high.
Shares of veteran telecom company AT&T (T 1.46%) saw a resurgence in recent months. The stock hit a 52-week high of $27.97 on March 4, the highest it's been in years, and is up more than 50% over the past 12 months through March 5.
Since my last writing, AT&T's dividend yield has decreased to 4.24%, among the lowest levels in at least 5 years. In the meantime, its latest dividend declaration kept showing stagnating dividend growth. I don't see the dividend growth to resume anytime soon given its CAPEX obligations, debt obligations, and margin pressure ahead.
