T-Mobile USTMUSTOP PICKMar 01, 2023Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 10, 2026. Market Open.
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.
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)
According to Stockchaser Michael O'Reilly, TMUS checks off several boxes: has 113 million customers, is the only American standalone 5G mobile network, and has a deal with Amazon AWS (the #1 cloud service) to provide 5G to their customers. Also consider that TMUS took a leap forward on April 1, 2020 when it officially absorbed Sprint to add their 33.84 postpaid subscribers to T-Mobile's existing 47 million subs.
