AT&T Bonds Soar While Shares Slump

The video discusses the contrasting performance of AT&T's stocks and bonds. While AT&T's stock has underperformed the S&P 500 due to subscriber losses, its bonds maturing in 2048 have seen price increases. This is attributed to AT&T's efforts to reduce its $160 billion debt, incurred partly from the Time Warner acquisition. The company is focusing less on promotional activities to gain subscribers and more on debt reduction, benefiting bondholders but not stock investors.
