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.
