T-Mobile USTMUSBUYSep 11, 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)
TMUS is reasonably priced at 19X earnings. Growth looks good; EPS has gone from 99c in 2015 to an expected $10.02 next year. 2024 growth vs 2023 is expected at more than 40%. 2025 growth will not be that high but should still be quite decent. Debt is fairly high but cash flow is secure and growing. Certainly we would prefer it over the larger, slow growth incumbents in the sector. There is no dividend, however, as it focuses on growth. But we would be comfortable owning it.
