AT&T's Q4 report showed mixed results, with strong fiber and mobility segments but significant declines in the business wireline division. Despite recent rallies, AT&T's current valuation metrics make it less attractive compared to competitors like Verizon, Comcast, and Charter Communications. Technical indicators suggest limited upside potential, prompting me to reduce my AT&T long position by 80% to capture 2024 gains.
