Here's Why AT&T Is Rising Today

The stock market was largely flat on Thursday morning as investors anxiously awaited news on the ongoing stimulus talks, but AT&T (NYSE: T) was a big standout. As of 11:30 a.m. EDT, shares of the telecommunications giant were trading about 5% higher -- a large move for the typically low-volatility stock.

Given that we're well into earnings season, it probably won't come as a surprise that AT&T's third-quarter results are the reason for that share price move.
