Ken!
Thank you for starting this thread.
I am still looking at T — even though I still have presents to wrap — but dinner is not at our house this year so I am not as procrastinate-y as I appear in print today.
I looked up the answer to my old question about whether T had ever cut the dividend. Turns out it is still among those “Dividend Aristocrats” so not only no cuts, but annual increases for at least 25 years.
I see what you mean about debt with their recent acquisitions costing a bunch. But, for now, they just increased the dividend again, and, hey, it goes ex on January 9.
