-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
T-Mobile reported Q1 2026 EPS of $2.27 vs $2.58 in Q1 2025, impacted by $476M UScellular merger costs and $105M transformation expenses, though service revenues grew 11% to $18.8B, with postpaid service revenue up 15% to $15.6B. Postpaid net account additions of 217k (+6% Y/Y) demonstrated continued market share gains despite earnings pressure from strategic investments. Industry-leading operational performance reflects network differentiation driving customer acquisition, with record switcher share citing network quality and fastest fixed wireless speeds. Management raised 2026 guidance for postpaid adds to 950K-1.05M, EBITDA to $37.1B-$37.5B, and FCF to $18.1B-$18.7B. Strong FCF of $4.6B enabled $6.0B stockholder returns, with Board increasing authorization to $18.2B from $14.6B. We expect continued profitable growth through network leadership, fiber expansion targeting 3M-4M customers by 2030, and scaling of T-Ads and T-Mobile Visa services.
