The debt-to-capital ratio of AT&T, Inc. has remained relatively stable over the last eight quarters, hovering around the range of 0.52 to 0.58. This ratio indicates that, on average, AT&T finances approximately 52% to 58% of its assets through debt, with the remainder being funded by equity.

A consistent debt-to-capital ratio suggests that AT&T has a balanced approach to capital structure management, maintaining a healthy mix of debt and equity financing. However, the slight increase in the ratio from 0.52 in Q3 2022 to 0.58 in Q1 2023 may indicate a slight uptick in debt usage compared to equity. This trend should be monitored to ensure that AT&T's leverage remains within manageable levels and does not pose excessive financial risk.
