The Boeing Company (BA), AT&T Inc. (T): The Dow (.DJI) Ends a Rollercoaster Week With Triple-Digit Gains

Should Verizon or AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) investors — or any telecom investors, really — be concerned about this revelation? While the release’s political impact can’t be understated, it shouldn’t affect your investing decisions. Verizon and AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) are corporations first and foremost. Regardless of this situation, the performance of their shares depends on how they advance their businesses. Considering that they’re the top two providers in the U.S. wireless industry, both AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) and Verizon are still relatively safe. AT&T projects a strong improvement in customer growth in the second quarter after a relatively lackluster first quarter, and Verizon has widened its lead on its rival somewhat. Both stocks should get past this PR mishap without incident. As with all stocks, keep your eye on the long term.
