The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research) T-Mobile US TMUS-Q PAST TOP PICK Dec 17, 2024

It has growth and is run by a great CEO. They have a great relationship with Apple.

It reports Wednesday. Shares have been weak, but is set up perfectly for a post-quarter rally.

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

Selling partially as a source of cash and to rotate shares. Nothing wrong with the company. IS up 14% in February.

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%.

He sold a covered call last week. He can do this all summer using rangebound positions.

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%.

Projected to grow 19.4% earnings growth in 2026, but trading at only 18x PE 2026. A value stock.

(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.
