Both JPMorgan and Wells Fargo think the firm can continue to grow its wireless business with a steady stream of new customers. The analyst maintains an overweight rating on AT & T stock with a $20 per share price target, implying 15% upside moving forward. In the first-quarter, the company said it reported the lowest level of postpaid customer churn for that time period ever.

Luebchow also views AT & T as a way for investors to play defense in a difficult market and inflationary backdrop. The company's growth momentum looks better positioned than that of Verizon, which faces earnings risks from rising rates and consumer phone declines, he added. The stock outperformed in 2022, falling just 0.9% and is already up 3.4% in the new year.
