The name traces to Alexander Graham Bell's 1885 company, which the government broke up in 1984; the modern entity descends from Southwestern Bell, which reassembled much of the system and adopted the AT&T name in 2005. Two large media bets, DirecTV in 2015 and Time Warner in 2018, were both unwound by 2022 at substantial cost. What remains is a wireless carrier and fiber broadband builder, with the Warner spinoff creating Warner Bros. Discovery. Headquarters are in Dallas.

A protective put caps your downside on the T position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current T option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.

AT&T equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge T stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and T's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current T option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does AT&T grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at AT&T typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do AT&T RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. AT&T restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
