Telephone And Data Systems Preferreds Offer Highest Investment Grade Yield
Summary Telephone and Data Systems' tickers TDS-U (TDS.PR.U) and TDS-V (TDS.PR.V) have, by far, the highest “qualified dividend” yield of any preferred stock in the market from an investment grade company. TDS carries a huge amount of cash on its balance sheet, many times more than its debt, so the preferred stocks are ultra safe. For U.S. investors, the TDS preferred’s high “qualified dividends” generate a very high after-tax yield comparable to a 10.2% bond for those in the higher tax brackets. If TDS preferred stocks traded at their fair value yield, they would trade $3.70 higher than their current prices. That is a huge undervaluation for a preferred stock.

Telephone and Data Systems Q4 Earnings Preview: Not Expecting Any Surprises
Summary I am lowering my rating for Telephone and Data Systems stock from buy to hold, as the stock is now fairly valued with balanced upside and downside risk. The primary focus is on the US Cellular sale to T-Mobile, which could significantly impact TDS's valuation and shareholder returns. TDS's Q4 2024 earnings are expected to show sequentially improved EPS and revenue, with no major surprises anticipated. Regulatory concerns about the US Cellular sale are mitigated by evidence suggesting the deal is not anti-competitive, reducing downside risk.
