Shares of T-Mobile (TMUS) dropped on Monday despite the broader rally in the Nasdaq Composite, which was up over 1.8% at the time. The telecom giant, which had a stellar 2024, recently faced a downgrade from two major Wall Street analysts.
Why Did T-Mobile Stock Drop?
Despite T-Mobile's strong performance last year, with impressive growth fueled by its 2020 acquisition of Sprint, analysts from Wells Fargo and RBC Capital downgraded their outlook for the company. Wells Fargo reduced its price target for T-Mobile from $240 to $220, while RBC Capital adjusted its target from $255 to $240.
Both analysts cited that the “low-hanging fruit” from the Sprint merger — such as cost synergies and spectrum advantages — has likely already been realized. With that phase behind them, T-Mobile may face challenges maintaining its robust growth in the coming years. Additionally, the company is expected to experience a slowdown in free cash flow growth as its tax rate reverts to that of a full taxpayer.
T-Mobile's Valuation Compared to Rivals
Currently, T-Mobile's stock is trading at approximately 11 times its forward earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), and 15 times its forward free cash flow estimates. This is higher than its major competitors Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T), which trade at a much lower multiple — 7 times EBITDA and 9 to 11 times free cash flow, respectively. This difference in valuation has led some analysts to caution against further investment in T-Mobile at its current levels.
Is T-Mobile Still a Solid Investment?
While the downgrade from Wells Fargo and RBC may seem concerning, T-Mobile remains a solid company with long-term potential. The analysts might be right that the stock's explosive gains of the past few years will be hard to replicate, but this does not necessarily make T-Mobile a “sell.”
T-Mobile continues to lead the telecom industry with its strong cash flow, market share gains, and spectrum advantage. The company is also heavily investing in share repurchases, which could potentially support stock price growth. Additionally, T-Mobile raised its dividend by 35% last year, further demonstrating confidence in its financial health. Though its current dividend yield is modest at 1.6%, there's potential for future growth in payouts, making it an attractive option for long-term investors, particularly those who are looking to build income for retirement.
Is T-Mobile Still a Good Long-Term Pick?
Despite the downgrade, T-Mobile remains a leading player in the telecom industry. While it may not achieve the same rapid growth as in recent years, the company's strong position and commitment to shareholder returns still make it a solid pick for investors with a long-term horizon. With a dividend that has room to grow and a resilient business model, T-Mobile could provide steady returns for those investing for the next decade or so.
However, if you're considering investing in T-Mobile, it's important to evaluate whether the stock fits your investment strategy, especially in light of the recent analyst downgrades and the changing market dynamics.
