NEW GOLD REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2025 RESULTS
Quarter-Over-Quarter Production Growth Drives Record Free Cash Flow Generation; On-Track to Achieve Annual Guidance (All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated) TORONTO, July 28, 2025 /CNW/ - New Gold Inc. ("New Gold" or the "Company") (TSX: NGD) (NYSE American: NGD) today reported financial and operating results for the quarter and six-months ended June 30, 2025. Second quarter 2025 production was 78,595 ounces of gold and 13.5 million pounds of copper, at an operating expense of $1,070 per gold ounce sold (co-product basis) 3 and all-in sustaining costs 1 of $1,393 per gold ounce sold (by-product basis). Quarter-over-quarter production growth resulted in strong cash flow from operations of $163 million and record quarterly free cash flow of $63 million, highlighted by a record $45 million of quarterly free cash flow from Rainy River. "Across the Company, the second quarter successfully built on the momentum from the first quarter, positioning us to deliver on our annual guidance. The quarter was highlighted by a record production month at Rainy River, resulting in record quarterly free cash flow for both Rainy River and the Company," stated Patrick Godin, President and CEO. "At New Afton, the B3 cave continued to over-deliver, with the cave now expected to exhaust in the middle of the third quarter, four months later than initially planned. Mill performance also continues to be a highlight, with a quarter-over-quarter throughput increase. At Rainy River, the second quarter saw a meaningful increase in production compared to the first quarter. June was a record production month, providing an excellent indication of the expected open pit performance for the remainder of the year. Combined with the strong quarterly mill performance, which demonstrated the ability to process higher-grade material at a high throughput rate, Rainy River is on-track for increased production in the second half of the year. Additionally, underground development continues to advance, and the site successfully commissioned the ventilation loop and primary ventilation fans in late June. With the ventilation loop now complete, and the in-pit portal breakthrough completed in early April, underground development is expected to accelerate through the remainder of the year," added Mr. Godin. "Exploration efforts at both operations continue to support our organic growth initiatives, with seven diamond drills active at New Afton and three at Rainy River. Exploration drilling at New Afton is at an all-time high on all key metrics, supported by the recently completed exploration drift developed from the C-Zone extraction level, designed to infill and expand K-Zone, as well as the Lift 1 level exploration drift developed last year. At Rainy River, exploration efforts are focused on increasing the underground ore inventory and testing open pit extensions at NW-Trend. The Company looks forward to providing exploration results in September," concluded Mr. Godin. Second Quarter Highlighted by Strong Performance from New Afton, Rainy River Posts Record June Production and Remains On-Track for Continued Ramp-up Throughout the Year Second quarter consolidated production was 78,595 ounces of gold and 13.5 million pounds of copper at all-in sustaining costs 1,2 of $1,393 per gold ounce sold. Gold production through the first half of 2025 represented approximately 38% of the midpoint of annual consolidated production guidance of 325,000 to 365,000 ounces of gold, in-line with the planned first half of 38%. New Afton second quarter production was 16,991 ounces of gold and 13.5 million pounds of copper at all-in sustaining costs 1,2 of ($537) per gold ounce sold. The B3 cave continued to perform better than planned, leading to higher than expected head grades. As a result, production through the first half of 2025 represented approximately 54% and 49% of the midpoint of annual guidance of 60,000 to 70,000 ounces of gold and 50 to 60 million pounds of copper, respectively. C-Zone cave construction continues to advance on schedule, facilitating a step up in copper and gold production in the second half of 2025. The operation is advancing well, with undercutting completed in May. Cave construction progress is 64% complete as of the end of June. The flotation cleaner circuit upgrade is on schedule for commissioning in the third quarter. This project is expected to improve copper and gold recoveries as the operation ramps up to full processing capacity of approximately 16,000 tonnes per day beginning in 2026. Rainy River second quarter production was 61,604 ounces of gold at all-in sustaining costs 1,2 of $1,696 per gold ounce sold, a substantial production increase and all-in sustaining cost decrease over the first quarter as the mill transitioned from low-grade stockpile material to processing higher grade open pit ore. June gold production totaled 37,341 ounces, a monthly production record, at an average grade of 1.44 g/t gold. With the mill now processing higher grade open pit material, the Company expects gold production to continue to step-up in the third quarter, compared to the second quarter. Gold production through the first half of 2025 represented approximately 34% of the midpoint of annual guidance of 265,000 to 295,000 ounces of gold, slightly behind the planned first half of 37%, driven by a one-week delay in the sequencing of the higher grade open-pit material in May, which led to an increase of approximately 5,900 ounces of gold-in-circuit inventory at quarter end. Following the successful breakthrough of the pit portal in early April, the Rainy River underground mine achieved another important milestone with fresh air raise commissioning and completion of the ODM East ventilation loop. Underground development and stope production from several new mining zones can now progress as they come online in late-2025. The Company is on track to deliver its 2025 consolidated production guidance of 325,000 to 365,000 ounces of gold and 50 to 60 million pounds of copper at all-in sustaining costs 1,2 of $1,025 to $1,125 per gold ounce sold. Record Quarterly Free Cash Flow Generation; Substantially Stronger Second Half Expected The Company generated cash flow from operations of $163 million and record quarterly free cash flow 1 of $63 million after investing approximately $58 million in advancing growth projects during the quarter. This was highlighted by Rainy River's record $45 million in quarterly free cash flow 1. The Company exited the second quarter in a strong financial position, with cash and cash equivalents of $226 million. During the quarter, the Company entered into an agreement with Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan to acquire the remaining 19.9% free cash flow interest in the Company's New Afton Mine. The transaction was funded with $50 million of cash on hand, $150 million from its existing credit facility, and a $100 million gold prepayment financing. Importantly, the transaction came with no equity dilution to New Gold shareholders. The Company has agreed to deliver approximately 2,771 ounces of gold per month over the July 2025 to June 2026 period at an average price of $3,157 per gold ounce. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company redeemed the remaining $111 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2027 Notes on July 15, 2025. The redemption of the 2027 Notes was funded with cash on hand. New Afton's K-Zone-Focused Exploration Program at Historic Peak; Rainy River Ramping-Up Exploration Drilling on Underground and Open Pit Extensions New Afton's exploration program, centered on K-Zone and nearby targets, is currently at an all-time high with one surface drill targeting the K-Zone trend along strike and six underground drills actively targeting the core of the zone and testing its footprint. By the end of the second quarter, approximately 18,000 metres of drilling of the planned 48,000 metres had been completed. Underground drilling is conducted from two exploration drifts separated by more than 400 metres in elevation, including a new drift recently completed at the C-Zone extraction level. The new exploration drift provides better drilling angles and accelerates exploration drilling in the upper part of K-Zone, while the exploration drift developed in 2024 provides a platform to further test potential extensions of K-Zone to the east and at depth. The Company is pursuing its strategic plan to grow and infill K-Zone for the remainder of 2025, with the objective of defining resources. Rainy River is pursuing its two-pronged approach of advancing open pit exploration and underground exploration in parallel. By the end of the second quarter, approximately 28,000 metres of drilling of the planned 58,000 metres had been completed. The Company recently completed a reverse circulation ("RC") drilling program at the NW-Trend open pit zone, focused on infill drilling the inferred part of the resource and testing potential pit extensions. A follow-up program is planned in the third quarter, with the objective of fully converting the NW-Trend Mineral Resource to the indicated category. The Rainy River exploration program further aims at unlocking the full value of the underground mine, with three diamond drills actively targeting extensions of UG Main from surface. This includes drilling Inferred Mineral Resources located near the core of the ODM zone to upgrade its classification, and targeting the extensions of current ore zones down-plunge. The Company expects to release exploration results from both the New Afton and Rainy River 2025 exploration programs in September. Consolidated Financial Highlights Revenue in the second quarter increased over the prior-year period due to higher gold prices and higher gold sales volume, partially offset by lower copper prices and lower copper sales volume. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, revenue increased over the prior-year period due to higher gold and copper prices and higher copper sales volume, partially offset by lower gold sales volume. Operating expenses were relatively consistent when compared to the prior-year periods. Depreciation and depletion expense in the second quarter was relatively consistent when compared to the prior-year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 depreciation and depletion decreased when compared to the prior-year period primarily due to lower gold production. Share-based payment expenses for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 were $9.0 million and $13.5 million, respectively, an increase over the prior-year periods due to an increase in the Company's share price. Net earnings and adjusted net earnings 1 increased over the prior-year periods due to an increase in revenue, partially offset by increased share-based payment expenses. Cash generated from operations and free cash flow 1 increased over the prior-year periods primarily due to higher revenue.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, gold production was 35,269 ounces (inclusive of ore purchase agreements) and 27.1 million pounds of copper. The decrease in gold production over the prior-year periods is due to lower grade and recovery as the B3 cave nears exhaustion. Copper production was relatively in-line with the prior-year periods as lower grade is offset by higher tonnes processed. Operating expenses per gold ounce sold 5 and per copper pound sold for the second quarter increased over the prior-year period primarily due to lower gold and copper sales. Operating expenses per gold ounce sold 5 and per copper pound sold for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased over the prior-year period, primarily due to lower underground mining costs and higher sales. All-in sustaining costs 1 per gold ounce sold (by-product basis) 2 for the second quarter decreased over the prior-year period primarily due to lower sustaining capital spend. All-in sustaining costs 1 per gold ounce sold (by-product basis) 2 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased over the prior-year period, primarily due to higher copper sales volumes, higher by-product revenue, and lower sustaining capital spend. Total capital expenditures decreased over the prior-year periods, primarily due to lower sustaining and growth capital spend. Sustaining capital 1 primarily related to mobile equipment. Growth capital 1 primarily related to construction, mine development, tailings, and machinery and equipment. Free cash flow 1 for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $33 million and $85 million, respectively, a significant improvement over the prior-year periods primarily due to higher revenue, and lower capital.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, gold production was 95,512 ounces, a decrease over the prior-year period due to lower tonnes processed and lower grade. Operating expenses per gold ounce sold for the second quarter decreased over the prior-year period due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by higher underground and camp costs as underground mining continues to ramp up. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating expenses per gold ounce sold increased over the prior-year period due to lower sales volumes and an increase in operating expenses. All-in sustaining costs 1 per gold ounce sold (by-product basis) 2 for the second quarter decreased over the prior-year period primarily due to higher sales volumes, partially offset by higher sustaining capital spend and operating costs. All-in sustaining costs 1 per gold ounce sold (by-product basis) 2 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased over the prior-year period primarily due to higher operating costs, lower sales volumes and higher sustaining capital from capitalized waste stripping. Total capital expenditures increased over the prior-year periods due to higher sustaining and growth capital spend. Sustaining capital 1 primarily related to open pit stripping and Tailings Facility expansion. Growth capital 1 primarily related to growth mine development and machinery and equipment. Free cash flow 1 for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $45 million and $32 million (net of $7 million and $13 million stream payments), respectively, an increase over the prior-year periods primarily due to higher revenue.

"Cash costs per gold ounce sold", "all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce sold" (or "AISC"), "adjusted net earnings/(loss)", "adjusted tax expense", "sustaining capital and sustaining leases", "growth capital", "average realized gold/copper price per ounce/pound", "cash generated from operations before changes in non-cash operating working capital", and "free cash flow" "are all non-GAAP financial performance measures that are used in this MD&A. These measures do not have any standardized meaning under DIFRS, as issued by the IASB, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. For more information about these measures, why they are used by the Company, and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure under IFRS, see the "Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures" section of this press release below. 2. The Company produces copper and silver as by-products of its gold production. All-in sustaining costs based on a by-product basis, which includes silver and copper net revenues as by-product credits to the total costs. 3. Co-product basis includes net silver sales revenues as by-product credits, and apportions net costs to each metal produced on the basis of 30% to gold and 70% to copper, and subsequently dividing the amount by the total gold ounces sold, or pounds of copper sold, to arrive at per ounce or per pound figures. 4. Production is shown on a total contained basis while sales are shown on a net payable basis, including final product inventory and smelter payable adjustments, where applicable. 5. These are supplementary financial measures which are calculated as follows: "Revenue gold ($/ounce)" and "Revenue copper ($/pound)" is total gold revenue divided by total gold ounces sold and total copper revenue divided by total copper pounds sold, respectively; "Operating expenses ($/oz gold, co-product)" is total operating expenses apportioned to gold based on a percentage of activity basis divided by total gold ounces sold, "Operating expenses ($/lb copper, co-product)" is total operating expenses apportioned to copper based on a percentage of activity basis divided by total copper pounds sold; "Depreciation and depletion ($/oz gold)" is depreciation and depletion expenses divided by total gold ounces sold. 6. Key performance indicator data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 is exclusive of ounces from ore purchase agreements for New Afton. The New Afton Mine purchases small amounts of ore from local operations, subject to certain grade and other criteria. These ounces represented approximately 1% of total gold ounces produced using New Afton's excess mill capacity. All other ounces are mined and produced at New Afton. Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures Cash Costs per Gold Ounce Sold "Cash costs per gold ounce sold" is a common non-GAAP financial performance measure used in the gold mining industry but does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. New Gold reports cash costs on a sales basis and not on a production basis. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, this measure, along with sales, is a key indicator of the Company's ability to generate operating earnings and cash flow from its mining operations. This measure allows investors to better evaluate corporate performance and the Company's ability to generate liquidity through operating cash flow to fund future capital exploration and working capital needs. This measure is intended to provide additional information only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. This measure is not necessarily indicative of cash generated from operations under IFRS Accounting Standards or operating costs presented under IFRS Accounting Standards. Cash costs figures are calculated in accordance with a standard developed by The Gold Institute, a worldwide association of suppliers of gold and gold products that ceased operations in 2002. Adoption of the standard is voluntary and the cost measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Cash costs include mine site operating costs such as mining, processing and administration costs, royalties, and production taxes, but are exclusive of amortization, reclamation, capital and exploration costs and net of by-product revenue. Cash costs are then divided by gold ounces sold to arrive at the cash costs per gold ounce sold. The Company produces copper and silver as by-products of its gold production. The calculation of cash costs per gold ounce for Rainy River is net of by-product silver sales revenue, and the calculation of cash costs per gold ounce sold for New Afton is net of by-product copper and silver sales revenue. New Gold notes that in connection with New Afton, the by-product revenue is sufficiently large to result in a negative cash costs on a single mine basis. Notwithstanding this by-product contribution, as a Company focused on gold production, New Gold aims to assess the economic results of its operations in relation to gold, which is the primary driver of New Gold's business. New Gold believes this metric is of interest to its investors, who invest in the Company primarily as a gold mining Company. To determine the relevant costs associated with gold only, New Gold believes it is appropriate to reflect all operating costs, as well as any revenue related to metals other than gold that are extracted in its operations. To provide additional information to investors, New Gold has also calculated New Afton's cash costs on a co-product basis, which removes the impact of copper sales that are produced as a by-product of gold production and apportions the cash costs to each metal produced by 30% gold, 70% copper, and subsequently divides the amount by the total gold ounces, or pounds of copper sold, as the case may be, to arrive at per ounce or per pound figures. Unless indicated otherwise, all cash cost information in this MD&A is net of by-product sales. Sustaining Capital and Sustaining Leases "Sustaining capital" and "sustaining lease" are non-GAAP financial performance measures that do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. New Gold defines "sustaining capital" as net capital expenditures that are intended to maintain operation of its gold producing assets. Similarly, a "sustaining lease" is a lease payment that is sustaining in nature. To determine "sustaining capital" expenditures, New Gold uses cash flow related to mining interests from its consolidated statement of cash flows and deducts any expenditures that are capital expenditures to develop new operations or capital expenditures related to major projects at existing operations where these projects will significantly increase production. Management uses "sustaining capital" and "sustaining lease" to understand the aggregate net result of the drivers of all-in sustaining costs other than cash costs. These measures are intended to provide additional information only and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Growth Capital "Growth capital" is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. New Gold considers non-sustaining capital costs to be "growth capital", which are capital expenditures to develop new operations or capital expenditures related to major projects at existing operations where these projects will significantly increase production. To determine "growth capital" expenditures, New Gold uses cash flow related to mining interests from its consolidated statement of cash flows and deducts any expenditures that are capital expenditures that are intended to maintain operation of its gold producing assets. Management uses "growth capital" to understand the cost to develop new operations or related to major projects at existing operations where these projects will significantly increase production. This measure is intended to provide additional information only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) per Gold Ounce Sold "All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce sold" or ("AISC") is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. New Gold calculates "all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce sold" based on guidance announced by the World Gold Council ("WGC") in September 2013. The WGC is a non-profit association of the world's leading gold mining companies established in 1987 to promote the use of gold to industry, consumers and investors. The WGC is not a regulatory body and does not have the authority to develop accounting standards or disclosure requirements. The WGC has worked with its member companies to develop a measure that expands on IFRS Accounting Standards measures to provide visibility into the economics of a gold mining company. Current IFRS Accounting Standards measures used in the gold industry, such as operating expenses, do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop and sustain gold production. New Gold believes that "all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce sold" provides further transparency into costs associated with producing gold and will assist analysts, investors, and other stakeholders of the Company in assessing its operating performance, its ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and its overall value. In addition, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors uses "all-in sustaining costs", together with other measures, in its Company scorecard to set incentive compensation goals and assess performance. "All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce sold" is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operations under IFRS Accounting Standards or operating costs presented under IFRS Accounting Standards. New Gold defines all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce sold as the sum of cash costs, net capital expenditures that are sustaining in nature, corporate general and administrative costs, sustaining leases, capitalized and expensed exploration costs that are sustaining in nature, and environmental reclamation costs, all divided by the total gold ounces sold to arrive at a per ounce figure. To determine sustaining capital expenditures, New Gold uses cash flow related to mining interests from its unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of cash flows and deducts any expenditures that are non-sustaining (growth). Capital expenditures to develop new operations or capital expenditures related to major projects at existing operations where these projects will significantly benefit the operation are classified as growth and are excluded. The definition of sustaining versus non-sustaining is similarly applied to capitalized and expensed exploration costs. Exploration costs to develop new operations or that relate to major projects at existing operations where these projects are expected to significantly benefit the operation are classified as non-sustaining and are excluded. Costs excluded from all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce sold are non-sustaining capital expenditures, non-sustaining lease payments and exploration costs, financing costs, tax expense, and transaction costs associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, and any items that are deducted for the purposes of adjusted earnings. To provide additional information to investors, the Company has also calculated all-in sustaining costs per gold ounce sold on a co-product basis for New Afton, which removes the impact of other metal sales that are produced as a by-product of gold production and apportions the all-in sustaining costs to each metal produced on a percentage of revenue basis, and subsequently divides the amount by the total gold ounces, or pounds of copper sold, as the case may be, to arrive at per ounce or per pound figures.

Sustaining Capital Expenditures Reconciliation Table Adjusted Net Earnings/(Loss) and Adjusted Net Earnings per Share "Adjusted net earnings" and "adjusted net earnings per share" are non-GAAP financial performance measures that do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Net earnings have been adjusted, including the associated tax impact, for loss on repayment of long-term debt, corporate restructuring and the group of costs in "Other gains and losses" as per Note 3 of the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Key entries in this grouping are: the fair value changes for the Rainy River gold stream obligation, fair value changes for copper price option contracts, foreign exchange gains/loss, fair value changes in investments and the unrealized gain/loss on the gold prepayment liability. The income tax adjustments reflect the tax impact of the above adjustments and is referred to as "adjusted tax expense". The Company uses "adjusted net earnings" for its own internal purposes. Management's internal budgets and forecasts and public guidance do not reflect the items which have been excluded from the determination of "adjusted net earnings". Consequently, the presentation of "adjusted net earnings" enables investors to better understand the underlying operating performance of the Company's core mining business through the eyes of management. Management periodically evaluates the components of "adjusted net earnings" based on an internal assessment of performance measures that are useful for evaluating the operating performance of New Gold's business and a review of the non-GAAP financial performance measures used by mining industry analysts and other mining companies. "Adjusted net earnings" and "adjusted net earnings per share" are intended to provide additional information only and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. These measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from operations as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP financial performance measures to the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure. Cash Generated from Operations, before Changes in Non-Cash Operating Working Capital "Cash generated from operations, before changes in non-cash operating working capital" is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Other companies may calculate this measure differently and this measure is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. "Cash generated from operations, before changes in non-cash operating working capital" excludes changes in non-cash operating working capital. New Gold believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides further transparency and assists analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in assessing the Company's ability to generate cash from its operations before temporary working capital changes. Cash generated from operations, before non-cash changes in working capital is intended to provide additional information only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. This measure is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from operations as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP financial performance measure to the most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure. Free Cash Flow "Free cash flow" is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. New Gold defines "free cash flow" as cash generated from operations and proceeds of sale of other assets less capital expenditures on mining interests, lease payments, settlement of non-current derivative financial liabilities which include the Rainy River gold stream obligation and the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan free cash flow interest. New Gold believes this non-GAAP financial performance measure provides further transparency and assists analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in assessing the Company's ability to generate cash flow from current operations. "Free cash flow" is intended to provide additional information only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. This measure is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from operations as determined under IFRS Accounting Standards.

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. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » 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.
