Investment thesis

T-Mobile offers 24.3% analyst-implied upside with a forward price-to-earnings of 13.5x, PEG of 0.75, and rising on-balance volume in a recovery setup, but a confirmed downtrend with a 3.7% declining 200-day moving average slope and an elevated put/call ratio of 4.79 create meaningful near-term risk.

Sell if holding. Momentum 1.0/10 is below the 5.0 floor at $165.17 — engine's falling-knife protection flags exit rather than catching a breakdown. Specifics: Leverage penalty (D/E 2.1): -1.5; Sector modifier (Communication Services): -0.8. Chart setup: Death cross, below all MAs, RSI 29, MACD bearish. Score 5.6/10, high confidence.

Passes 8/10 gates (favorable risk/reward ratio, clean insider activity, no SEC red flags, news boost analyst 0.35, news boost analyst cluster(4), earnings proximity 33d clear, semi cycle peak clear, materials cycle peak clear). Fails on weak momentum and death cross (50MA < 200MA). Suitability: moderate.

About T-Mobile US, Inc.

About T-Mobile US, Inc.

T-Mobile US served 142.4 million postpaid and prepaid customers at December 31, 2025, generating service revenues that were 81% postpaid, 15% prepaid, and 4% wholesale and other services, with substantially all revenues earned in the United States including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. T-Mobile ranked as the second largest wireless provider in the U.S. by total postpaid and prepaid customers, employing approximately 75,000 full-time and part-time employees from headquarters in Bellevue, Washington and Overland Park, Kansas.

T-Mobile generates revenue through postpaid and prepaid service subscriptions, equipment sales, and wholesale network access sold to MVNO and Machine-to-Machine partners. The company's premium Experience More and Experience Beyond plans bundle unlimited talk, text, and data with 5G access, streaming subscriptions, and in-flight Wi-Fi; Essentials and specialty rate plans (Military/Veterans, First Responder, 55+) capture price-sensitive segments. Equipment is sold through T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile owned stores, websites and apps, customer care channels, national retailers, and independent dealer networks; qualified customers finance device purchases via 24-month equipment installment plans. T-Mobile also offers 5G broadband fixed wireless services and is building fiber broadband capacity through joint ventures. Spectrum depth at December 31, 2025 totaled 394 MHz average combined low- and mid-band nationally plus 1,059 GHz of mmWave licenses. On August 1, 2025, T-Mobile completed the UScellular Acquisition, adding customers and network assets in certain U.S. markets.

Show full overview

T-Mobile operates under binding Government Commitments from the 2020 Sprint merger, including extensive 5G network build-out obligations and fixed wireless marketing requirements; the 10-K warns that failure to fulfill these on time could result in substantial fines, penalties, or other legal and administrative actions. FCC spectrum licenses are issued for fixed 10-15 year terms, and while the FCC has generally renewed operating licenses, it retains authority to revoke or deny renewal if not in the public interest. The FCC also retains authority to modify rules governing the use of licensed spectrum, which could affect T-Mobile's network deployment and competitive positioning.
