Which is better to buy: AT&T or Verizon?
We do not advise what to buy. By the numbers: Verizon rose more over the year (+20.0%); Verizon is closer to its 52-week high; Verizon has the higher operating margin; AT&T is growing revenue faster; AT&T has the lower P/E. How to weigh such signs is covered in «How to analyse a stock».
Can I buy both?
Yes. Many hold several companies in one industry to avoid depending on one. A broad index fund often already holds the largest US companies.
