The $100-billion company last week said lead-clad cables made up only a "small part of its network" as it sought to allay investor apprehensions. Meanwhile, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has ordered an investigation into the health risks associated with old lead-clad cables. The costs for cleaning up the lead-clad cables could "range from near-zero to tens-of-billions of dollars in liability," analysts at TD Cowen said in a July 16 note. Free cash flow is expected to be between $3.5 billion and $4 billion in the second quarter, after falling short of estimates by more than $1.5 billion in the first. Cash flow is key as it helps investors determine payouts as AT&T is one of the highest dividend paying U.S. stocks.

Analysts at Citigroup and JPMorgan both lowered their recommendations on AT&T shares in recent days. The shares hit a low of $13.68 in Monday's session, the lowest since March 1993. "We have not seen, nor have regulators identified, evidence that legacy lead-sheathed telecom cables are a leading cause of lead exposure or the cause of a public health issue,” a U.S. Telecoms spokesperson said in a statement. Shares of Verizon were also down on Monday, falling 5.5% to $32.14, a nearly 13-year low.

Morningstar has revealed its pick of global stocks with the highest dividend yields. In a note entitled, "Our Ultimate Stock Pickers' ... Dividend-Yielding Stocks," Morningstar noted that searching for yield can be risky given the current volatility. In fact, three of the stocks have the potential to rise by more than 30%, according to Morningstar's analysts. GSK London-headquartered pharmaceutical giant GSK is also undervalued by more than 40%, according to Morningstar analyst Damien Conover. Philips' stock, which also trades in New York, has fallen to a decade low following criticism over its handling of a global recall of respiratory machines.
