He sold it last May when its relative strength weaken. Investors bought it for safety, but as markets recovered, TMUS drifted lower. The last week as tech has fallen and volatility risen, defensives like this are picking up (and energy and healthcare). He'd rebuy if its relative strength returned.
(Note the short timeframe.) In March at the time of this pick, market was tanking and so defensive stocks were at the top of the rankings. Trump delayed tariffs, and the market hasn't looked back since. That's when he sold. Rotation out of defensive and back to cyclicals, momentum, aggressive, confident technology, communications and precious metals.
This one will be left behind and sideways unless people become fearful again.
He bought it, because after selling it earlier and regretting it. The high-speed internet business is accelerating. The telecom space has been doing very well this year. TMUS leads in customer growth. Their niche business in telecom will accelerate. Free cash flow is growing 167%.
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)

Likes what they're doing with Elon and bringing satellite technology to every phone. It will continue to move higher.

We reiterate TMUS, the second largest wireless operator in the US with over 113 million customers operating the country's sole stand-alone 5G network, as a TOP PICK. They just announced a deal with Amazon AWS to provide 5G services to customers. It trades at 2.6x book. It has been prudently using some cash reserves to retire debt and buy back shares. We recommend keeping the stop at $135, looking to achieve $180 -- upside potential over 20%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $180.17)
