TMUS

Wondering how to pick strong, market-beating stocks for your investment portfolio? Look no further than the Zacks Style Scores.

T-Mobile US, Inc. maintains industry-leading free cash flow margin (25%), low payout ratio (23%), and the lowest leverage among peers, enabling robust capital allocation. TMUS trades at a forward P/E below 14x, offers a nearly 3% yield, and management targets 50% long-term upside potential. Starlink's competitive threat is acknowledged but seen as several years away, leaving TMUS well-positioned with an established network and customer base.

I see the recent sell-off and elevated yields as an opportunity to buy quality income stocks, notably in telecom and REIT sectors. TMUS and VZ offer compelling risk/reward: TMUS boasts a 15% dividend hike and low leverage, while VZ projects 6–7% EPS growth and a 6.1% yield. EPR and VICI REITs provide attractive yields (6.56% and 7%+) and strong fundamentals, despite near-term headwinds and sector volatility.

Markets occasionally mistake a headline for an existential threat, creating opportunities for investors willing to look past the immediate panic. Recently, telecommunications stocks contracted sharply after news that SpaceX NASDAQ: SPCX acquired a portfolio of mobile spectrum licenses.

T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS | TMUS Price Prediction) stock is up 3% to $152.65 in afternoon trading, recovering part of the worst one-day loss in its history as a public company. Meanwhile, Verizon (NYSE:VZ) stock is up 2% to $42.

Telecommunications stocks sold off sharply on Oct. 10 after Elon Musk's SpaceX agreed to acquire a nationwide spectrum portfolio to expand Starlink's satellite internet business into mobile services.

Waste Management and T-Mobile US are my top dividend growth picks amid market volatility and economic uncertainty. WM offers a recession-resistant model, 5% revenue growth, margin expansion, and double-digit dividend growth, though near-term volatility is expected. TMUS trades at a low forward P/E of 13.56x, and boasts robust cash flow, a 3% yield, and double-digit earnings growth potential through 2031.

SpaceX's $8B deal sparked sell off in major telecom stocks - but is it warranted? Micron (MU) maintains a Quant Strong Buy rating, supported by A grades in valuation, growth, profitability, and momentum.

T-Mobile stock has been in a steep downtrend since peaking at $268.90 in March last year. The sell-off accelerated today as concerns grew over competition from SpaceX, pushing the shares to a low of $148, their lowest level since December 2023.

Verizon (VZ), AT&T (T), T-Mobile (TMUS) and other mobile carriers sold off on Friday after SpaceX (SPCX) announced it acquired a low-band spectrum license. As Marley Kayden explains, it allows the Elon Musk-led firm to expand mobile carrier opportunities.
