Is Chipotle Stock a Buy After Its Second-Quarter Earnings?
Key Points Revenue and earnings growth has slowed dramatically amid rising competition and a sluggish economy. As growth slows, investors may question the premium valuation Chipotle has commanded historically. Chipotle's prospects for long-term expansion continue to appear promising. 10 stocks we like better than Chipotle Mexican Grill › Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) failed to unwrap a strong earnings report when it released its earnings for the second quarter of 2025. The burrito giant experienced a dramatic slowdown in growth, a concerning sign as it has historically commanded a premium valuation. This situation leaves investors in a difficult position. Former CEO Brian Niccol left the company last year to join Starbucks. Although its previous COO, Scott Boatwright, has run the company since then, the verdict is likely still out on his tenure. Chipotle continues to grow as it adds locations, so long-term shareholders have no apparent reason to sell their shares. The question is whether investors should add shares, or is it best for them to stay on the sidelines? Chipotle's Q2 results In the second quarter of 2025, Chipotle generated $3.1 billion, representing a 3% year-over-year increase. That included a 4% decrease in comparable restaurant sales. Hence, revenue grew only because Chipotle added 309 restaurants over the last year, taking the count to 3,839 as of June 30. Unfortunately, these results stand in contrast to Q2 2024, when revenue grew by 18%. The company attributed the decline to negative consumer sentiment and rising competition. In Q2 2025, net income was $436 million, decreasing by about 4% annually. Increases in operating costs, particularly labor, occupancy, and other expenses, weighed on profit growth. Moreover, while investors expected the slowdown, its revenue numbers fell short of estimates. That may partially explain why the stock fell 13% after the release. It has also fallen by one-third since reaching its all-time high in June of last year. Why investors should be concerned Admittedly, even the best growth stocks experience significant retrenchments when on a long-term growth trajectory. Investors often treat such occasions as a buying opportunity, and they have a strong argument for such thinking. The stock is up by more than 5,000% since its 2006 IPO. Additionally, its massive footprint may be just the beginning of its growth. Chipotle believes it can grow to 7,000 restaurants in North America alone. Also, it has begun to establish a presence in three European countries and the Middle East, dramatically increasing its growth potential. Despite its long-term growth, Chipotle's valuation may have made the stock particularly vulnerable. Its 40 P/E ratio is not unusual,, as it has long sold at a premium. Still, with profit growth nearly at a standstill, investors could start to question why they would pay a premium for this stock. If the P/E ratio fell to the 20 range, that in itself would take the stock price down by approximately half. Furthermore, since Chipotle is not a dividend stock, investors may question whether it pays to own this stock under such conditions. Should investors buy Chipotle stock after its Q2 earnings? Given the current state of Chipotle stock, investors should probably refrain from adding shares at this time. Indeed, Chipotle is one of the most successful restaurant stocks in history. That alone likely makes it a hold for long-term investors. Unfortunately for shareholders, investors have little incentive to purchase the stock just now. Competition and a sluggish economy have so significantly impacted sales that it now relies entirely on the rapid expansion of its footprint for revenue growth. Moreover, investors do not collect a dividend, meaning they rely on the stock beating the S&P 500 index to win with holding Chipotle. Thanks to tepid revenue and profit growth, investors no longer have an incentive to pay over 40 times earnings, making near-term pain for the stock more likely. Chipotle remains on track for a massive expansion assuming its restaurants continue to succeed abroad. Nonetheless, the slowdown in growth bodes poorly for its stock in the short term. Until its valuation aligns more closely with its growth rate, it is probably not worthwhile for investors to buy more shares. Should you invest $1,000 in Chipotle Mexican Grill right now?

Goliath Intersects 11.00 g/t Au Over 4.85 Meters, Drilling Maintains 100% Hit Rate, 94% Of Holes Contain Visible Gold, Assays Pending Surebet Discovery, Golddigger Property, Golden Triangle, B.C.
Infographic 1 Infographic 2 Infographic 3 2025 drilling has more than doubled the known extent of the Bonanza Zone from 550 meters to over 1.1 km across and remains wide open with 100% of the drill holes intersecting substantial quartz-sulphide mineralization as well as 94% of drill holes containing gold visible to the naked eye ('VG'), assays pending. Drilling has been completed in 34 holes (~25,000 meters) within the first month of drilling with 81 holes remaining (~35,000 meters) on Surebet. With 2 months remaining, the Company is on target to complete the planned and fully funded ~60,000 meter program with 9 rigs actively drilling. Drill hole GD-25-317 intersected excellent gold mineralization in two separate intervals from the Bonanza Zone and the Surebet Zone that remain open, where 8 occurrences of gold visible to the naked eye were identified in quartz-stockwork and breccia zones containing moderate amounts of sphalerite, galena and pyrrhotite: The Bonanza Zone interval consists of 3.17 g/t Au over 18.73 meters, including 5.10 g/t Au over 11 meters, including 11 g/t Au over 4.85 meters. The Surebet Zone interval consists of 3.64 g/t Au over 9.40 meters, including 6.02 g/t Au over 5.50 meters. The reported assays reflect gold only (AuEq value in intervals will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received). Accompanying infographics are available at: Drill hole GD-25-302 intersected substantial gold mineralization in two separate intervals within a 96.50 meter interval where 6 occurrences of gold visible to the naked eye were identified in an altered andesite unit with high density quartz-sulphide veining corresponding to the Bonanza Zone that remains open: The first interval consists of 2.26 g/t Au over 19.00 meters, including 6.28 g/t Au over 6.00 meters, including 8.88 g/t Au over 4.00 meters. The second interval consists of 1.59 g/t Au over 16.00 meters, including 3.44 g/t Au over 6.00 meters. These new intervals extend the footprint of high-grade gold mineralization of the Bonanza Zone to the south by 150 meters increasing the resource potential of this zone that remains wide open. The reported assays reflect gold only (AuEq value in intervals will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received). Accompanying infographics are available at: Drill hole GD-25-314 intersected 2.25 g/t Au over 4 meters, including 2.82 g/t Au over 3.15 meters part of the Bonanza Zone. Drill hole GD-25-317 is located 180 meters to the northeast and GD-25-302 is located 420 meters to the east of drill hole GD-24-260, the highest grade gold interval drilled on Surebet to date (see news January 13, 2025), which assayed 34.52 g/t AuEq or 1.11 oz/T AuEq (34.47 g/t Au and 3.96 g/t Ag) over 39.00 meters including 132.93 g/t AuEq or 4.27 oz/T AuEq (132.78 g/t Au and 12.98 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters, and 166.04 g/t AuEq or 5.34 oz/T AuEq (165.84 g/t Au and 16.07 g/t Ag) over 8.00 meters within an interval composed of altered andesite with substantial quartz-sulphide veining confirming the additional discovery potential for high-grade gold mineralization at the Surebet Discovery that remains wide open. Accompanying infographics are available at: High-grade gold has now been recovered in three distinct rock packages discovered to date on Surebet. This includes the gently dipping gold-rich stacked veins, the gold-rich intermediate to felsic Eocene-aged Reduced Intrusive Related Gold (RIRG) near vertical dykes, and the newly discovered broad gold-rich zones of calc-silicate altered breccia, all of which contain substantial amounts of gold visible to the naked eye and remain wide open for expansion, confirming the presence of the Motherlode magmatic source at depth, a causative intrusion responsible for the extensive 1.8 km2 high-grade gold system at Surebet. The 2025 planned campaign is under way and consists of 60,000 meters (recently increased from 40,000 meters) of systematic drilling with 9 drill rigs. The campaign aims at expanding the full geometry of the Surebet discovery laterally and to depth. 100% of the drilling will be focused on the Surebet Discovery, where the Company has designed a detailed drill plan that will consist of: Testing for the Motherlode Magmatic intrusive gold source; Testing an additional 13 Eocene-aged dykes observed on the surface that have never been drill tested for RIRG mineralization; Infill drilling with the goal of increasing pierce points density in all known stacked veins with a particular focus on the highest-grade areas from the Bonanza Zone and Surebet Zone intersection domain; Testing zones where the RIRG Eocene-aged dykes and gently dipping veins crosscut which are being called Goldilocks Zones as they are key locations where there are two styles of gold mineralization enriching the zones; and Expanding the known mineralized veins laterally and to depth where they currently remain open. TORONTO, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (FSE: B4IF) (the 'Company' or 'Goliath') is very pleased to announce positive assay results from drill hole GD-25-317 which assayed 3.17 g/t Au over 18.73 meters, including 5.10 g/t Au over 11 meters, including 11 g/t Au over 4.85 meters within the Bonanza Zone that remains wide open at Surebet on the 100 % controlled Golddigger Property (the 'Property'), Golden Triangle, British Columbia. An additional gold-rich interval in the same hole consists of 3.64 g/t Au over 9.40 meters, including 6.02 g/t Au over 5.50 meters part of the Surebet Zone. Two intervals of high-grade gold mineralization were also intersected in drill hole GD-25-302 that assayed 2.26 g/t Au over 19.00 meters, including 6.28 g/t Au over 6.00 meters, including 8.88 g/t Au over 4.00 meters, and 1.59 g/t Au over 16.00 meters, including 3.44 g/t Au over 6.00 meters. These new intervals extend the footprint of high-grade gold mineralization of the Bonanza Zone to the south by 150 meters increasing the resource potential of this zone that remains wide open, confirming the additional discovery potential for high-grade gold mineralization at the Surebet Discovery. The Company has completed 25,000 meters of drilling (out of 60,000 meters planned and fully funded for 2025), with 100% of the drill holes intersecting substantial quartz-sulphide mineralization as well as 94 % of the holes contain gold visible to the naked eye. The reported assays reflect gold only (AuEq value in interval will be adjusted accordingly once Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn are received). Mr. Roger Rosmus, Founder & CEO of Goliath states: "Receiving exceptional gold only assays of 3.17 g/t Au over 18.73 meters, including 5.10 g/t Au over 11 meters, including 11 g/t Au over 4.85 meters from the first new holes completed in 2025 is a testament to the strong high-grade gold potential at Surebet. With 100% of drill holes completed this year intersecting mineralization, as well as 94% of the holes containing gold visible to the naked eye, we are on track to complete the most ambitious drill program on Surebet to date with 25,000 meters completed and 35,000 meters to go for a total of 60,000 meters that is fully funded. We are looking forward to releasing additional assay results and updating the gold-equivalent (AuEq) hole results as they become available.' Drill hole GD-25-317 intersected 5 occurrences of gold visible to the naked eye ('VG') hosted in veins that are part of a quartz-stockwork in sandstone units containing moderate amounts of sulphides such as sphalerite, galena and pyrrhotite. A 27.68 meter interval with high-density of quartz-sulphide veining from 332.88 meters to 360.56 meters contains 2 occurrences of visible gold at 355.90 meters and 359.47 meters from the Surebet Zone. Another 19.83 meter interval from 441.90 meters to 461.73 meters contains multiple quartz-sulphide veins up to 50 cm wide with 2 occurrences of visible gold at 457.02 meters and 459.66 meters from the Bonanza Zone. Additional VG was identified at 256.90 m. The new intercept is located 180 meters to the northeast of drill hole GD-24-260, the highest grade gold interval drilled on Surebet to date, which assayed 34.52 g/t AuEq or 1.11 oz/T AuEq (34.47 g/t Au and 3.96 g/t Ag) over 39.00 meters including 132.93 g/t AuEq or 4.27 oz/T AuEq (132.78 g/t Au and 12.98 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters, and 166.04 g/t AuEq or 5.34 oz/T AuEq (165.84 g/t Au and 16.07 g/t Ag) over 8.00 meters within an interval composed of altered andesite with substantial quartz-sulphide veining (see news January 13, 2025). Drill hole GD-25-302 intersected 6 occurrences of VG over a 96.50 meter interval from 89.50 meters to 186.00 meters within an altered andesite unit with high density quartz-sulphide veining corresponding to the Bonanza Zone that remains open. The new intercept is located 420 meters to the east of drill hole GD-24-260. Table 1: Assay highlights from 2025 drill holes reported in this news release.

The best hole drilled to date is GD-24-260 previously reported from the Bonanza Zone assayed 34.52 g/t AuEq (34.47 Au and 3.96 Ag) over 39.00 meters, including 132.93 g/t AuEq (132.78 Au and 12.98 Ag) over 10.00 meters, and 166.04 g/t AuEq (165.84 Au and 16.07 Ag) over 8.00 meters (see news release dated January 13, 2025). The best hole drilled to date from the RIRG Eocene-aged dykes is GD-22-58 that assayed 12.03 g/t AuEq (11.84 g/t Au and 15.61 g/t Ag) over 10.00 meters including 19.91 g/t AuEq (19.62 g/t Au and 25.61 g/t Ag) over 6.00 meters, including 23.82 g/t AuEq (23.47 g/t Au and 30.54 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters, plus a second separate interval down hole of 8.59 g/t AuEq (8.35 g/t Au and 20.74 g/t Ag) over 5.00 meters (see news release dated March 13, 2025). The best hole drilled to date from the third distinct rock package consisting of calc-silicate altered breccia is GD-24-280 that assayed 8.31 g/t Au over 23.00 meters, including 15.69 g/t Au over 11 meters, including 37.45 g/t Au or 1.20 oz/T over 4 meters within the Bonanza Zone (see news July 7, 2025). Multiple gently-dipping gold-mineralized stacked veins have been identified every year on the Surebet high-grade gold discovery. Recent discoveries include RIRG Eocene-aged dykes, Goldilocks Zones where the veins and vertical RIRG dykes crosscut (which are characterized by having high-grade gold in two temperature regimes) and recently discovered high-grade gold in a third distinct rock package. Which continuously increase the potential tonnage and gold content of the high-grade gold system at the Surebet discovery. A total of 12 stacked gently dipping high-grade gold veins extend for 1.2 kilometers at the Surebet discovery, have been enhanced by four high-grade RIRG Eocene-aged dykes that are up to 25 meters wide and exposed along strike at surface for up to 1,500 meters have been discovered and modelled to date (see news release dated June 23, 2025). The footprint of the mineralization discovered to date at Surebet is 1.8 km2, the equivalent in size to >336 NFL football fields and remains open in all directions. Thanks to the mountainous topography, mineralization in the veins is exposed on the surface for 2.1 km of strike (1.0 km on the south slope and 1.1 km on the north slope) with a vertical relief of 700 meters. A study completed by the Colorado School of Mines confirms a new interpretation of the ore forming process of high-grade gold mineralization at Surebet and outlines a common magmatic source for the high-grade gold system, now in three distinct rock packages. Which gives the Surebet discovery tremendous untapped discovery potential to increase tonnage and gold content in the various known rock package. Until this study, researchers and explorers in the Golden Triangle had not recognized the high-grade gold discovery potential in the Eocene-aged RIRG dykes (see news release March 13, 2025), which is showing the potential that these discoveries could be a geological breakthrough in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. Goliath has drilled a total of 92,000 meters with over 400 pierce points on the Golddigger property between 2021 and 2024, which culminated in the updated geologic model used for this year's drill planning. The Surebet Discovery has predictable continuity and very good metallurgy with gold recoveries of 92.2% from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush including 48.8% free gold recovery from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgy completed to date shows a benign rock composition without deleterious elements (see news release March 1, 2023). Based on positive grassroots exploration and drill results in recent years, Goliath significantly increased its land package from 66,608 hectares to 91,518 hectares (226,146 acres) and now controls 56 kilometers of key terrain of the Red Line geologic trend providing for additional upside discovery potential. The Golddigger Property is located on tidewater with a barge route to Prince Rupert (190 km south) and close to infrastructure including the town of Kitsault adjacent to a permitted mine site on private property. About Golddigger Property The Golddigger Property is 100% controlled and covers an area of 91,518 hectares in a highly prospective geological setting of the Eskay Rift, within 3 kilometers of the Red Line in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This area, in close proximity to the Red Line, has hosted some of Canada's greatest gold mines including Eskay Creek, Premier and Snip. Other significant and well-known deposits in the Golden Triangle include Brucejack, Copper Canyon, Galore Creek, Granduc, KSM, Red Chris, and Schaft Creek. Goliath controls 56 kilometers of the Red Line which is a geologic contact between Triassic age Stuhini rocks and Jurassic age Hazelton rocks used as key markers when exploring for gold-copper-silver mineralization. The Surebet discovery has predictable continuity and excellent metallurgy with gold recoveries from gravity and flotation at a 327-micrometer crush of 92.2% including 48.8% free gold from gravity alone (no cyanide required to recover the gold). The metallurgy completed to date shows no deleterious elements are present (see news release dated March 1, 2023). The Property is in an excellent location in close proximity to the communities of Alice Arm and Kitsault where there is a permitted mill site on private property. It is situated on tide water with direct barge access to Prince Rupert (190 kilometers via the Observatory inlet/Portland inlet). The town of Kitsault is accessible by road (190 kilometers from Terrace, 300 kilometers from Prince Rupert) and has a barge landing, dock, and infrastructure capable of housing at least 300 people, including high-tension power. Additional infrastructure in the area includes the Dolly Varden Silver Mine Road (only 7 kilometers to the East of the Surebet discovery) with direct road access to Alice Arm barge landing (18 kilometers to the south of the Surebet discovery) and high-tension power (25 kilometers to the east of Surebet discovery). The city of Terrace (population 16,000) provides access to railway, major highways, and airport with supplies (food, fuel, lumber, etc.), while the town of Prince Rupert (population 12,000) is located on the West Coast of British Columbia and houses an international container seaport also with direct access to railway and an airport.

About Goliath Resources Limited Goliath Resources is an explorer of precious metals projects in the highly prospective Golden Triangle of Northwestern British Columbia. All of its projects are in high quality geological settings and geopolitical safe jurisdictions amenable to mining in Canada. Goliath is a member and active supporter of CASERM which is an organization that represents a collaborative venture between Colorado School of Mines and Virginia Tech. Goliath has embarked on its largest drill campaign to date that is fully funded for up to 60,000 meters in total during 2025. The Company's key strategic cornerstone shareholders include Crescat Capital, a Global Commodity Group (Singapore), McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX), Waratah Capital Advisors, Mr. Rob McEwen, Mr. Eric Sprott and Mr. Larry Childress.

Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled. Oriented HQ-diameter or NQ-diameter diamond drill core from the drill campaign is placed in core boxes by the drill crew contracted by the Company. Core boxes are transported by helicopter to the staging area and then transported by truck to the core shack. The core is then re-orientated, meterage blocks are checked, meter marks are labelled, Recovery and RQD measurements taken, and primary bedding and secondary structural features including veins, dykes, cleavage, and shears are noted and measured. The core is then described and transcribed in MX DepositTM. Drill holes were planned using Leapfrog GeoTM and QGISTM software and data from the 2017-2024 exploration campaigns. Drill core containing quartz breccia, stockwork, veining and/or sulphide(s), or notable alteration is sampled in lengths of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. Core samples are cut lengthwise in half: one-half remains in the box and the other half is inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag. The bagged samples are then weighed and secured with a zip tie. Certified reference materials (CRMs), blanks and duplicates are added in the sample stream at a rate of 10%. To ensure analytical anonymity, CRM identification labels are removed prior to submission to the laboratory. Additional out-of-sequence blanks are introduced immediately following core samples that contain visible gold or high-grade sulphide mineralization. Grab, channels, chip and talus samples were collected by foot with helicopter assistance. Prospective areas included, but were not limited to, proximity to MINFile locations, placer creek occurrences, regional soil anomalies, and potential gossans based on high-resolution satellite imagery. The rock grab and chip samples were extracted using a rock hammer, or hammer and chisel to expose fresh surfaces and to liberate a sample of anywhere between 0.5 to 5.0 kilograms. All sample sites were flagged with biodegradable flagging tape and marked with the sample number. All sample sites were recorded using hand-held GPS units (accuracy 3-10 meters) and sample ID, easting, northing, elevation, type of sample (outcrop, subcrop, float, talus, chip, grab, etc.) and a description of the rock were recorded on all-weather paper. Samples are then inserted in a clean plastic bag with a sample tag for transport and shipping to the geochemistry lab. QA/QC samples including blanks, certified reference materials, and duplicate samples are inserted regularly into the sample sequence at a rate of 10%. All samples are transported in rice bags sealed with numbered security tags. The rice bags are transported from the core shacks to the MSALABS facilities in Terrace, BC. MSALABS is certified with both AC89-IAS and ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2017. The core samples undergo preparation via drying, crushing to ~70% of the material passing a 2 mm sieve and riffle splitting. The sample splits are weighed and transferred into three plastic jars, each containing between 300 g and 500 g of crushed sample material. A 250 g split is pulverized to ensure at least 85% of the material passes through a 75 µm sieve. The crushed samples are transported to the MSALABS PhotonAssayTM facility in Prince George, where gold concentrations are quantified via photon assay analysis (method CPA-Au1). Samples that result in gold concentrations ≥5 ppm are analyzed to extinction. Photon assay uses high-energy X-rays (photons) to excite atomic nuclei within the jarred samples, inducing the emission of secondary gamma rays, which are measured to quantify gold concentrations. The assays from all jars are combined on a weight-averaged basis. Multielement analyses are carried at the MSALABS facilities in Surrey, BC, where 250 g of pulverized splits are analyzed via ICF6xx and IMS-230 methods. The IMS-230 method uses 4-acid digestion (a combination of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids) followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry to quantify concentrations of 48 elements. Samples with over-limit results for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn undergo ore-grade analysis via the ICF-6xx method (where 'xx' denotes the target metal). This method employs 4-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry. Widths are reported in drill core lengths and the true widths are estimated to be 80-90% and Gold Equivalent (AuEq) metal values are calculated using: Au 2797.16 USD/oz, Ag 31.28 USD/oz, Cu 4.25 USD/lbs, Pb 1955.58 USD/ton and Zn 2750.50 USD/ton on January 31st, 2025. There is potential for economic recovery of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc from these occurrences based on other mining and exploration projects in the same Golden Triangle Mining Camp where Goliath's project is located such as the Homestake Ridge Gold Project (Auryn Resources Technical Report, Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Homestake Ridge Gold Project, prepared by Minefill Services Inc. Bothell, Washington, dated May 29, 2020). Here, AuEq values were calculated using 3-year running averages for metal price, and included provisions for metallurgical recoveries, treatment charges, refining costs, and transportation. Recoveries for Gold were 85.5%, Silver at 74.6%, Copper at 74.6% and Lead at 45.3%. It will be assumed that Zinc can be recovered with the Copper at the same recovery rate of 74.6%. The quoted reference of metallurgical recoveries is not from Goliath's Golddigger Project, Surebet Zone mineralization, and there is no guarantee that such recoveries will ever be achieved, unless detailed metallurgical work such as in a Feasibility Study can be eventually completed on the Golddigger Project.

Better Dividend Stock: Alphabet vs. AT&T
Key Points Income-seeking investors have a difficult choice between dividend stocks that grow their payouts quickly and those that offer high yields. Alphabet shares offer a minuscule yield at recent prices, but earnings are growing by leaps and bounds. AT&T offers a high yield, but it has been several years since shareholders last saw its quarterly payout grow. 10 stocks we like better than Alphabet › Investors looking to grow their passive income stream with dividend stocks have two basic options. Dividend payers that raise their payouts rapidly tend to offer low yields up front, while higher-yielding stocks tend to increase their payouts slowly, if at all. Right now, Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL) and AT&T (NYSE: T) represent opposite ends of the dividend investors' dilemma. Profit that could be used to boost dividend payments are surging for the parent company behind Google and YouTube, but it offers a very low yield. AT&T offers a high yield, but earnings have been rising at a snail's pace. Let's take a closer look at both to see which could be a better fit for your portfolio. 1. Alphabet Last year, Alphabet began a dividend program, and it's already raised the payout once. This April, the company bumped its payout up by 5% to $0.21 per share. While significant, the raise was much smaller than it could probably afford. With a yield of about 0.4% at recent prices, Alphabet is not on many dividend investors' radar. If you have a long time horizon, though, adding this stock to your portfolio could lead to heaps of income generation once you're ready to retire. When viewed on a long-term timeline, earnings per share and dividend payments tend to rise in line with each other. Over the past five years, Alphabet raised earnings per share by a whopping 29.4% annually. The conglomerate's advertising and cloud computing businesses generated around $66.7 billion in free cash flow over the past 12 months. Dividends over the same time frame worked out to less than 15% of the free cash flow available to make the payments. Alphabet was a bit slow to release generative artificial intelligence tools, but strong advantages mean it's likely to own the most popular AI-driven search tools for years to come. Despite Microsoft promoting its Edge browser on everyone's PC, Alphabet's Chrome browser had a global market share of 68% in June, according to Statcounter. Google Search and the Chrome browser are defaults on Alphabet's Android operating system, which runs on 74% of the world's smartphones. With Android and Chrome giving Alphabet access to billions of users and all the data their browsing activity generates, its lucrative advertising business has a good chance to stay on top for the long run. 2. AT&T While profit at Alphabet has been surging, the telecom giant, AT&T, has been lumbering along. Earnings per share over the trailing 12 months are only 15.8% higher than they were five years ago. The spinoff of its media assets a couple of years ago is partly responsible for the lack of growth, and so is the ongoing loss of wireline phone connections. These issues are temporary, but the company's position in America's mobile internet oligopoly is likely to remain intact for many years to come. This gives it a chance to continue growing through sales of its wireless internet and mobility services. AT&T reduced its dividend in 2022, and it hasn't budged since. At recent prices, the stock offers a 4% yield, which is roughly 10 times more than you'd receive from Alphabet. AT&T doesn't have Alphabet's immense cash flow, but it's more than enough to meet its dividend obligation. Free cash flow that reached $19.6 billion over the past 12 months was more than twice what the company needed to meet its dividend obligation. Management expects free cash flow to subside slightly to a little over $16 billion this year, which is still plenty more than necessary to maintain the payout. Business wireline revenue is expected to decline again this year, but AT&T has growth engines pushing in the opposite direction. This year, mobility revenue is expected to grow by 3% or better, plus its consumer broadband products are surging. Second-quarter consumer fiber broadband revenue soared by 18.9% year over year to $2.1 billion and is expected to continue at a similar pace for the rest of 2025. Don't let the proliferation of mobile virtual network operators such as Cricket and Mint confuse you into thinking there's a lot of competition for mobile internet subscribers. After T-Mobile acquired Sprint in 2020, Americans effectively have just three nationwide mobile internet providers to choose from. By revenue, AT&T is firmly in second place. Given the enormous investment required to reach its present position, we aren't likely to see any more competitors able to provide nationwide mobile internet services unless Congress forces one of the big three to break up. Dividends at AT&T probably won't grow quickly, but the company could begin announcing annual payout bumps soon. Earlier this year, it reduced debt to about 2.5 times trailing 12-month EBITDA and initiated a $10 billion share repurchase program. Which is the better dividend stock to buy now? I don't intend to begin leaning on the passive income my dividend stocks generate for at least 20 years. With this in mind, I'm a lot more excited to buy Alphabet. If we project these two companies' rates of earnings growth over the past five years forward, the yield on cost investors receive from Alphabet shares purchased now could surpass the amount they receive from AT&T by 2035. If I were much closer to retirement, I might consider AT&T the better buy. With time to let the payout grow, though, I'd be better off over the long run with shares of Alphabet.
