534.0. "AT&T or MCI ?" by MSBCS::SHAH () Tue Jul 20 1993 11:53

    
    With the recent request to FCC for long distance rate hike from AT&T
    (meaning more profits) and the stock soaring already, is this a good buy ?
    
    How about MCI in comparison ?
    
    Your views will be greatly appreciated ..
    
    Thanks,
    /Alkesh

	Value Line gives ATT a 1 for safety and a 2 for timeliness, I believe. John Piekos
534.2	MCI	NOVA::RUBINO		`Thu Jul 29 1993 14:42`	9
	Anybody know what happened to MCI stock? It looks like it went down quite a bit. I noticed it is somewhere in the 20's now and if I'm not mistaken it was recently in the high 40's! Did it split? mike
534.3	it split	CSOA1::ECK		`Thu Jul 29 1993 15:59`	1
	yes

	(I couldn't find any other note to put this in) Big news this am on CNBC is that AT&T is splitting up into three companies. They are going to sell of the capital management part, and break the rest down. I didn't catch what the three are going to be though. Yesterday was at ~57, now T is at 63...

	I also heard that they are completely getting out of the PC business (or at least cutting back on that business with the layoff of 8,000 employees in that area). I thought this last piece of it would help DEC stock but ...
534.7	10,000 layoff	SOLVIT::CHEN		`Wed Sep 20 1995 14:08`	2
	The piece I read was saying that they are "reorganizing" their computer business and is expected to layoff 10,000 people.
534.8		MPGS::FARRELL		`Fri Sep 22 1995 09:35`	8
	There was a big writeup about this in yesterday's (Sept 21) WSJ. Overall it sounds like a good idea. The equipment side will benefit from increased sales to AT&T competitors such as MCI, Sprint, etc. Sounds like the computing side will lay off about 8,500 people. One issue may be loss of name recognition for the equipment and computing spinoffs. Bernard
534.9	Hey, wait a minute...	PARVAX::SCHUSTAK	My clients are mostly Martians!	`Fri Sep 22 1995 10:50`	10
	Re .8 You may be right...BUT NOT if, for some reason, thse companies choose to call themselves WESTERN ELECTRIC COMPANY and NCR Corporation. If I were responsible for "branding" these companies I wouldn't think twice (assuming the names are still the properties of AT&T at this point). SteveS

	Re: .9 I assume at least one of them will change its name to "American".
