<|assistant|>While these two sentences are similar in that they both discuss the rise in AT&T's shares, they do convey slightly different information.

In the first sentence, it states that "Shares of AT&T climbed 4.4 percent or 90 cents to $21.40, adding to the previous day's gain of 6 percent." This sentence provides more specific details about the increase in AT&T's shares. It tells us that the shares went up by 4.4 percent, which is equal to a 90-cent increase, bringing the share price to $21.40. Additionally, the sentence highlights that this increase adds to the 6 percent gain experienced the day before.

In the second sentence, it says that "Shares of AT&T climbed 4 percent, adding to the previous day's 6 percent rise." This sentence is more concise but also less specific than the first sentence. It informs us that the shares went up by 4 percent but does not provide the exact monetary value nor the resulting share price. Similar to the first sentence, it also emphasizes the 4 percent increase adding to the 6 percent rise from the previous day.

In conclusion, these two sentences convey information about the increase in AT&T's shares and their connection to the previous day's gain. While the first sentence provides a more comprehensive and specific description of the shares' movement, the second sentence offers a simplified and less detailed account of the shares' increase.<|endoftext|>
