Coming off of the 2024 AT&T Analyst & Investor Day in Dallas, AT&T (T) CEO John Stankey sits down with Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi to talk about the telecommunications company's earnings growth forecast and the chief executive's outlook on the incoming Trump administration.

President-elect Donald Trump's new administration appears "very focused on trying to make sure that the economy performs well," Stankey says. "If I go back to the last Trump administration, certainly from a tax policy perspective, it was pro-growth and pro-investment. And maybe we're the poster child for that. We invest sometimes between $24 or 25 [billion] the last couple of years, $22 billion moving forward. As a result of that, tax policy influences us significantly."

He remains optimistic about Trump's use of "pragmatic" tariffs before the president-elect actually deploys any taxes. Stankey foresees another "pro-investment" Trump administration could catapult AT&T's installation of fiber optic cables across the US.

Stankey also gives his opinion on Trump's Federal Communications Commission nominee Brendan Carr, calling him a "very reasoned policymaker" who also understands the wireless industry.
