The post AT&T Stock Forecast and T Dividend History: Is T a Buy in 2026? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) trades at approximately $25.27 as of May 15, 2026 — up 18% year-to-date and the best-performing major telecom stock in the United States so far this year. The company just reported Q1 2026 earnings that beat estimates on both revenue and EPS, is generating record fiber subscriber growth, and maintains a $1.11 annual dividend yielding approximately 4.3%. For income investors asking whether AT&T is a buy in 2026, the answer is more nuanced than it was two years ago. The dividend has been stabilized, free cash flow guidance is rising year-over-year, and the Lumen acquisition adds 1.1 million fiber customers. But $141.3 billion in net debt and ongoing legacy revenue declines are real constraints that cap the bull case. What Is AT&T? AT&T Inc. is the largest wireline telecommunications provider in the United States and the second-largest wireless carrier, serving

HKMA Q1 2026 survey shows credit card receivables drop to HK$158B, while delinquency ratio edges higher. Seasonal factors remain key drivers.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) released its credit card lending survey results for Q1 2026, revealing a 3.8% decline in total card receivables to HK$158.0 billion as of March 31. This marks a reversal from the 8.7% surge recorded in Q4 2025, which was driven by festive spending and salaries tax payments. Delinquency and rescheduling rates ticked up slightly, with the combined ratio rising to 0.45% at the end of March, compared to 0.40% in the prior quarter. However, asset quality showed resilience, as the charge-off ratio improved to 0.56% from 0.62% in Q4 2025, signaling fewer write-offs during the period.

Crypto adoption shifts focus to payments, stablecoins, and identity as Q1 2026 retail activity hits $979B, down 11% YoY but with real-world growth.
As of Q1 2026, global retail cryptocurrency activity reached $979 billion, according to data from blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs. While this figure marks an 11% year-over-year decline, the headline contraction masks a deeper structural shift: crypto is increasingly moving from speculative trading to real-world use cases like stablecoin payments, decentralized identity, and consumer applications. This trend reflects a significant evolution in how cryptocurrency intersects with daily life. In the U.S., for instance, a May 13 report from the National Cryptocurrency Association revealed that one in four adults now use crypto for activities ranging from transactions to financial mana

Gemini’s Q1 revenue jumped 42% to $50.3M, driven by credit card growth and new regulatory licenses, signaling a shift from trading to services.
Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, reported a 42% year-over-year revenue jump in the first quarter of 2026, reaching $50.3 million. This growth was fueled largely by the explosive success of its Gemini Credit Card, which saw revenue soar nearly 300% to $14.7 million, according to the company’s May 14 earnings release. The shift underscores Gemini’s ongoing transformation from a pure-play crypto exchange to a diversified financial services platform. Transaction revenue, historically the company’s bread and butter, remained steady at $24 million for the quarter. However, crypto exchange revenue dropped 27% year-over-year to $17.2 million, reflecting a bro

These firms cited concerns about market manipulation and sanctions evasion on the decentralized platform.

The HYPE token fell sharply from an intraday high of around $45 following the report.
