Stock price when the opinion was issued
The US is seeing a rotation to the old-school telecom names (haven't seen this in Canada). In his rankings, the #1 US large-cap stock right now. Steadily improving, very well supported. Held in really nicely recently when a lot of the cyclicals fell. Yield is 1.35%.
(Analysts’ price target is $263.46)
They used to be marginal players in the wireless industry. Then, bold management, a customer-friendly ethos, great branding and the Spring merger, TMUS has become a heavy hitter.
