About T Dividends

This page shows the complete T dividend payment history, including ex-dates, payment dates, and per-share amounts. The chart above visualizes the trend of dividend payments over time, making it easy to spot increases, decreases, or irregular payouts.

AT&T Inc. (T) is issued by AT&T. U.S. telecom giant — wireless, fiber, and business services. Cut its dividend 46.6% in 2022 after spinning off WarnerMedia (now Warner Bros. Discovery); no longer a Dividend Aristocrat. Annual dividend held flat at $1.11/share since the cut, forward yield ~4%, free cash flow covers the dividend ~2.4x. Management has prioritized debt paydown over dividend growth, but has signaled a $45B capital-return program over the next few years.

T dividend history — frequently asked questions

How often does T pay dividends?▾
T pays dividends quarterly. The dividend history table and chart above show every payment T has made, with the ex-dividend date, payment date, and per-share amount. The ex-date is the cutoff — you must own T before the ex-date to receive that payment; buying on or after the ex-date means you get the next one instead.
What does the T dividend history chart show?▾
The chart plots the per-share amount of every dividend T has paid, oriented left-to-right from oldest to newest. A rising trend means distributions are growing; a falling trend means they are shrinking. For T, the current yield is roughly 4.62% on a trailing twelve-month basis. Pay attention to the shape of the curve — steady growth is a very different risk profile from a jagged curve with big month-to-month swings, which is common for options-income ETFs.
Are T dividends qualified or ordinary?▾
Dividend classification for T varies. Most traditional dividend ETFs and stocks produce qualified dividends — taxed at the long-term capital gains rate — but some portion may be non-qualified. Check the year-end 1099-DIV for the exact breakdown.
Why did T distributions change so much month to month?▾
Month-to-month changes in T can come from a few sources: timing of the payment relative to the ex-date calendar, special distributions, or shifts in the underlying portfolio. For most non-options-income ETFs, distributions are fairly predictable quarter-over-quarter, with occasional year-end special distributions.
Where does this T dividend data come from?▾
Dividend records are sourced from official issuer dividend calendars and cross-referenced against press releases. Ex-dates and payment dates are the official dates as reported. For YieldMax funds specifically, we also ingest the weekly announcement press releases — that is why YieldMax ticker pages show upcoming announcements.
