✦The story
A $1,000 stake in AT&T from early 2016 was worth $2,089 by mid-2026, a total return of +108.9%, much of it from dividends. The decade included the costly Time Warner acquisition and its later unwinding, which weighed on the stock for years. The S&P 500 returned +352.8% over the same period, well ahead of AT&T.
