Telecom Stocks To Follow Today – December 8th

AT&T, Telephone and Data Systems, Dycom Industries, TELUS, and Vodafone Group are the five Telecom stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Telecom stocks are shares of companies that build, operate or supply the networks and infrastructure enabling voice, data and internet communications—including wireless carriers, broadband and fiber providers, satellite operators, and telecom equipment manufacturers. Investors buy telecom stocks to gain exposure to the communications sector, which often offers steady cash flows and higher-than-average dividends but faces heavy capital expenditure, regulation, and technological competition. As investment choices, these stocks tend to be viewed as income-oriented and relatively stable but with more limited growth compared with some tech sectors. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Telecom stocks within the last several days.
