T-Mobile: Business Overview And Investment Instruments

Summary T-Mobile fundamentals remain robust, with service revenue and free cash flow both rising despite recent share price declines. Q1 2026 net income fell due to one-time US Cellular acquisition costs, not core business weakness; management raised full-year guidance. TMUS aggressively repurchased $4.9B in shares in Q1 and maintains a low dividend payout ratio, signaling confidence in valuation. TMUS baby bonds and OTC bonds are investment grade but currently offer unremarkable yields and carry substantial interest rate risk; better alternatives exist. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Telephone and Data Systems Preferreds: High Qualified Yield And Improving Credit Profile

Summary Telephone and Data Systems preferred shares offer a ~7.5% qualified yield, supported by recent deleveraging and strong liquidity. TDS.PR.V stands out with a 20% discount to par, offering superior capital appreciation potential and lower call risk versus TDS.PR.U. Recent asset monetization and debt reduction have materially improved TDS’s credit profile, enhancing preferred holders’ safety and upside. TDS preferred shares are rated as a buy, with TDS.PR.V preferred for its relatively better risk-reward profile; allocations should be monitored regularly. Key risk considerations include liquidity deployment toward unproductive capex or special dividends, higher interest rates, and the company’s call option limiting upside participation.
