On December 13, 2024, T-Mobile US Says Board Authorized New Shareholder Return Program Of Up To An Initial $14B That Will Run Through December 31, 2025 - Filing

Keybanc analyst Brandon Nispel downgraded T-Mobile US Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TMUS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Overweight to Sector Weight</a>.
The rerating reflects the valuation, which Nispel noted as stretched, and was unwilling to raise his price target to justify the valuation.
The analyst noted a lot to like in the business that has proven to be the market share leader in Wireless for nearly the past decade, and its FWA business has proven to be accretive.

However, going forward, the competitive environment seems to be shifting toward a converged offering, with T-Mobile making acquisitions in the Fiber business at significant multiples that have yet to be proven.
In addition, with T-Mobile guiding to ~5% EBITDA growth in fiscal 2025, this is still a significant deceleration from ~9% in fiscal 2024 and compares to AT&amp;T Inc&#8217;s Mobility business adjusted EBITDA guidance of 3%- 4%.
T-Mobile is trading at ~9.3 times Nispel&#8217;s above consensus fiscal 2026 adjusted EBITDA estimates and ~15.1 times his fiscal 2026 price to free cash flow ratio, which compares to T-Mobile&#8217;s 3-year average of ~9.3 times and ~15.5 times, respectively, and current AT&amp;T and Verizon Communications Inc. average of ~6.3 times and ~10.1 times, respectively.
Nispel noted these multiples reflect T-Mobile&#8217;s execution and premium growth profile. While the valuation could expand over the short term, the company has signaled through a reduction in the buyback that the stock is expensive and noted there are limits.
T-Mobile has guided investors to 5% adjusted EBITDA growth in fiscal 2025, a significant slowdown versus fiscal 2024 expected adjusted EBITDA growth of ~9%. Free cash flow growth is also expected to slow to ~2% by Nispel&#8217;s estimates and ~4% for consensus, down from his estimate of 25% year-on-year in fiscal 2024.
T-Mobile has spoken about investments in the business, headwinds from ACP, and wholesale affecting EBITDA. In addition, cash taxes should be higher as T-Mobile becomes a full cash taxpayer, and T-Mobile has guided to higher capex, both of which will affect free cash flow.
With T-Mobile&#8217;s valuation at a premium and growth expected to slow, Nispel sought better relative value. In that regard, he noted AT&amp;T&#8217;s 3% or greater adjusted EBITDA growth appears relatively attractive, given AT&amp;T is trading at ~6.2 times his fiscal 2026 adjusted EBITDA. When looking at AT&amp;T excluding Business Wireline, he expects AT&amp;T&#8217;s Mobility and Consumer Wireline growth to be 5.4% in fiscal 20&#8217;25, making AT&amp;T appear relatively attractive. At current levels, Nispel noted T-Mobile as fairly valued.
Nispel projected fourth-quarter revenue of $21.41 billion and EPS of $2.36.
Price Action: TMUS stock is down 0.74% at $232.60 at last check Thursday.

Price Target

Keybanc Downgrades T-Mobile US to Sector Weight, Maintains Price Target to $252

On Monday, T-Mobile US, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) chief&nbsp;Mike Sievert&nbsp;cautioned investors against fourth quarter back-half risks. Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-09/t-mobile-warns-investors-to-be-cautious-about-4q-results?srnd=phx-technology&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> Sievert from the UBS&nbsp;investor conference. The telecom company expects some year-end factors to drag on results after a record third quarter. The stock plunged close to 10% on Monday&#8217;s close.

Sievert flagged a &#8220;pretty low&#8221; device upgrade rate behind his warning. However, T-Mobile continues to expect to deliver industry-leading customer growth, service revenue growth (~5%&nbsp;CAGR through 2027), and adjusted EBITDA growth (~7%&nbsp;CAGR through 2027).
The company&#8217;s business plan supports ~$80 billion&nbsp;in capacity for investments and shareholder returns through 2027
T-Mobile reported third-quarter revenue of $20.16 billion, topping the analyst estimate of $20.01 billion. EPS of $2.61 surpassed the analyst estimate of $2.41.
The topline performance reflects record ARPA (postpaid average revenue per account)&nbsp;growth in seven years and higher-than-expected postpaid phone net additions.
T-Mobile US added 415,000 broadband customers in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41501756/t-mobile-reports-strong-q3-results-service-revenues-grew-5-yoy-fcf-grew-29-raised-fy24-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">the third quarter</a>, hitting a 6 million total customer milestone.

Postpaid net account additions were 315,000 for the quarter.
In October, T-Mobile US said it expects net customer additions of 5.6 million-5.8 million (up from the prior 5.7 million) and core adjusted EBITDA of $31.6 billion-$31.8 billion.
Sievert told Bloomberg that T-Mobile&#8217;s fixed-wireless product will reach 12 million subscribers. He weighed whether the company could surpass the milestone.
Investors can gain exposure to T-Mobile US through Invesco BuyBack Achievers ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PKW#NASDAQ">PKW</a>) and The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLC#NYSE">XLC</a>).

<a href="https://www.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/update-cyberattacks-targeting-us-wireless-companies">https://www.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/update-cyberattacks-targeting-us-wireless-companies</a>
&nbsp;
Like the entire telecommunications industry, T-Mobile has been closely monitoring ongoing reports about a series of highly coordinated cyberattacks by bad actors known as "Salt Typhoon" that are reported to be linked to Chinese state-sponsored operations. Many reports claim these bad actors have gained access to some providers' customer information over an extended period of time – phone calls, text messages, and other sensitive information, particularly from government officials. This is not the case at T-Mobile. To clear up some misleading media reports, here is what we're currently seeing, much of which we believe is different from what is being seen by other providers.
<ul>
<li>Within the last few weeks, we detected attempts to infiltrate our systems by bad actors. This originated from a wireline provider's network that was connected to ours.</li>
<li>We see no instances of prior attempts like this.</li>
<li>Our defenses protected our sensitive customer information, prevented any disruption of our services, and stopped the attack from advancing. Bad actors had no access to sensitive customer data (including calls, voicemails or texts).</li>
<li>We quickly severed connectivity to the provider's network as we believe it was – and may still be – compromised.</li>
<li>We do not see these or other attackers in our systems at this time.</li>
<li>We cannot definitively identify the attacker's identity, whether Salt Typhoon or another similar group, but we have reported our findings to the government for assessment.</li>
</ul>
Simply put, our defenses worked as designed – from our layered network design to robust monitoring and partnerships with third-party cyber security experts and a prompt response – to prevent the attackers from advancing and, importantly, stopped them from accessing sensitive customer information. Other providers may be seeing different outcomes.
We have shared what we've learned with industry and government leaders as we collectively work to combat these large-scale, sophisticated national threats. Last week, I had the opportunity to join a meeting at the White House with other leaders to discuss how we're mitigating these threats. As we all have a mutual goal to protect American consumers, we felt it was important to communicate more about what we've seen with providers who may still be fighting these adversaries.

T-Mobile US's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

Elon Musk-led&nbsp;SpaceX&nbsp;has obtained a commercial license from the&nbsp;Federal Communications Commission (FCC)&nbsp;for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/starlink">Starlink Direct-to-Cell service</a>. This marks a pivotal step in expanding the reach of satellite-based mobile connectivity.
What Happened: The FCC has granted SpaceX a U.S. commercial license for its Starlink Direct-to-Cell service. This license allows SpaceX to operate its Gen2 Starlink satellites for non-geostationary orbit fixed-satellite services.
The FCC&#8217;s order partially approves SpaceX&#8217;s application&nbsp;to construct, deploy, and operate&nbsp;these satellites, with certain conditions.
The license also includes permission for SpaceX&nbsp;to provide Supplemental Coverage from&nbsp;Space (SCS) within the U.S. and to conduct direct-to-cell operations outside the country using its existing 7,500 Gen2 Starlink satellites.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42160725/tesla-faces-environmental-violations-as-elon-musks-doge-prepares-for-garbage-collection-of-rules-that-dont-make-sense-report?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tesla Faces Environmental Violations As Elon Musk&#8217;s &#8216;DOGE&#8217; Prepares For &#8216;Garbage Collection Of Rules That Don't Make Sense'</a>
Previously, the FCC granted SpaceX and&nbsp;T-Mobile US Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>)&nbsp;Special Temporary Authority (STA) to&nbsp;deliver Starlink Direct-to-Cell services in regions affected&nbsp;by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
This service proved crucial in aiding recovery efforts, connecting 270,000 mobile phones, all belonging to T-Mobile subscribers, as reported by SpaceX earlier this month.
Why It Matters: This FCC license is a major milestone for SpaceX&#8217;s Starlink, enabling it to enhance mobile connectivity.
Earlier this month, SpaceX and T-Mobile activated their Direct-to-Cell coverage in Florida before&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41243785/spacexs-starlink-and-t-mobile-get-approval-to-roll-out-direct-to-cell-coverage-in-florida-before-hur">Hurricane Milton</a>&nbsp;made landfall. This initiative allowed residents to send messages, contact emergency services, and receive alerts, even when traditional networks were down.
In September, T-Mobile successfully sent its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40826886/t-mobile-sends-first-wireless-emergency-alert-via-spacexs-starlink-satellites-in-space">first wireless emergency alert</a> via Starlink satellites, highlighting the potential of this technology in public safety. The alert was transmitted from a Starlink satellite in low-Earth orbit, functioning as a cell tower in space, and was received by a T-Mobile smartphone within seconds. This demonstrated the capability of Starlink to provide geographically targeted alerts in emergencies.
Moreover, SpaceX executive Benjamin Longmier recently clarified that Starlink would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41592030/worried-starlink-wont-work-on-cell-phones-indoors-spacex-engineer-clears-the-air">enable connectivity for cellphones even indoors</a>, addressing concerns about signal availability.
This comes at a time when SpaceX CEO Musk said that the company will use proceeds from its Starlink service to fund the Mars mission.
SpaceX is also reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42022150/spacex-to-launch-tender-offer-valuing-company-at-over-250-billion-report">preparing to launch a tender offer</a> that values the company at $250 billion. While the company is private, investors can leverage&nbsp;Destiny Tech100 Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXYZ#NYSE">DXYZ</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Cathie Wood‘s&nbsp;Ark Venture Fund&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKVX#NASDAQ">ARKVX</a>) to participate in the Musk-led space company&#8217;s growth.

What Happened: In a recent statement on X, El-Erian highlighted the intricate nature of Trump&#8217;s tariff discussions, noting that the proposed economic policies encompass at least three complex economic stages influenced by multiple factors, including trade flows, corporate pricing strategies, and geopolitical considerations.

Trump&#8217;s proposed economic blueprint, which includes a universal tariff of up to 20% on imports and potentially up to 60% on Chinese goods, has sparked intense economic debate. Tech investor Peter Thiel suggests these tariffs could significantly impact Chinese companies while causing minimal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42028954/peter-thiel-says-trumps-60-china-tariff-would-be-very-very-bad-for-beijing-heres-whats-at-stake">disruption to U.S. consumers</a>.

Why It Matters: Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle warns that Trump&#8217;s proposed universal tariff could push <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42042411/inflation-could-surge-to-3-if-trump-applies-universal-tariffs-goldman-sachs">inflation back to 3%</a>, potentially complicating Federal Reserve monetary strategies. 
The National Retail Federation estimates Trump&#8217;s tariff proposals could reduce annual consumer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">spending by $78 billion</a>.
Prominent business leaders have voiced concerns. Citadel LLC CEO Ken Griffin described Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs as a &#8220;long, slippery slope&#8221; that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42056528/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-warns-of-slippery-slope-in-trumps-tariff-policies-sees-us-returning-to-the-business-of-business">could hamper U.S. global competitiveness</a>. 
Retailers like AutoZone and Columbia Sportswear have signaled potential price increases that would be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41871407/trumps-tariffs-deportations-and-tax-cuts-may-push-prices-higher-experts-say-its-pretty-clear?utm_campaign=partner_feed&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=partner_feed&amp;utm_content=site&amp;nid=42027079">passed directly to consumers</a>.
"Tariffs would create a headwind to the performance of stocks with high international revenue exposure due to the risk of retaliatory tariffs and heightened geopolitical tensions," Goldman Sachs analyst David Kostin stated.
Goldman Sachs noted that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39467825/us-election-and-tariff-prospects-set-to-threaten-internationally-exposed-stocks-gol">U.S. stocks with domestic sales focus outperformed</a> those with international exposure by 1 percentage point the day after Trump's election and by 4 pp in the following month but underperformed by 9 pp in the next 12 months.
