Investors are told not to make emotional decisions. Yet, I’ve noticed plenty of emotion regarding the fortunes of AT&T (NYSE:T). As you may imagine, investors have not been pleased as T stock continues to drop nearly six weeks after the company reported earnings.

It’s been well documented that AT&T made the decision to cut its dividend payout after it finishes spinning off its WarnerMedia division. This won’t be finalized for several quarters, so “ride-or-die” investors in T stock have a little time to decide what to do with their shares.
I’d advise to be skeptical, but exercise prudence. The known is always better than the unknown. And for many years AT&T was dealing with a lot of unknowns. Today, there is still a large unknown regarding how successful it will be with its 5G business. However, you could also say that it’s torn off the band-aid. Investors just have to decide how long they will wait on the wound to heal.

At today’s prices, that gives GE stock a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 24.5. That’s in line with the valuation of a similar name, Honeywell (NASDAQ:HON), which trades at 23.9 forward earnings. But other diversified industrial companies trade at even lower valuations, such as 3M (NYSE:MMM), which has a forward P/E ratio of 16.9.

We should also emphasize that including dividend growers in portfolios has meant less short-term volatility for investors. Most notable dividend stocks include vital businesses with consistent demand, regardless of the current economic cycle.
