This Dividend Stock Is Outperforming the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones This Year -- Is It a Buy?

With all the noise surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and the attention it has brought to the "Magnificent Seven" and growth stocks, a number of value and dividend stocks have flown under the radar. One company in particular that hasn't gotten much attention is AT&T (NYSE: T).

So far in 2024, AT&T has had one of its best years in recent times. It's outperforming all three major indexes, something we haven't been able to say for quite a while. It's not mildly outperforming them, either; there's some considerable distance between their returns.
