Telecommunication giants AT & T and Verizon are turning a corner that will make it easier for both companies to maintain their high dividend yields, according to Citi.
Analyst Michael Rollins upgraded Verizon and AT & T to buy.
"A variety of concerns have weighed on Telco sentiment and valuation, including competition, industry structure, higher rates and lead.
We see a more constructive investment case for large-cap Telcos," Rollins wrote in a Monday note.
Verizon yields 7.8% along with AT & T, FactSet data shows.
