How Is T-Mobile's Stock Performance Compared to Other Communication Stocks?
Bellevue, Washington-based T-Mobile US, Inc. (TMUS) provides wireless communications services in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands. With a market cap of $274.2 billion, the company offers voice, messaging, and data services to postpaid, prepaid, and wholesale and other services customers.
Companies worth $200 billion or more are generally described as "mega-cap stocks." TMUS fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, reflecting its substantial size, influence, and dominance in the telecom sector. The company’s extensive deployment of 5G and 4G LTE networks, as well as its offerings of wireless devices, smartphones, tablets and other mobile communication devices, places the company in a leading position in the telecom industry.
The telecom giant's stock dropped nearly 13.5% from its 52-week high of $276.49 achieved on Mar. 3. TMUS’ stock has declined 11.3% in the past three months, lagging behind the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF Fund’s (XLC) 1% decrease.
In the longer term, TMUS has grown over 8.4% on a YTD basis, whereas XLC rose 3.2%. However, shares of TMUS soared 43% over the past 52 weeks, outperforming the XLC's nearly 21.5% rise over the same time frame.
Moreover, the stock has been trading above its 200-day moving average for the past year but has dipped below its 50-day moving average since late April.
On Apr. 24, TMUS stock surged 1.1% following the release of its Q1 earnings results. The company’s revenue increased 6.6% year-over-year to $20.9 billion and topped the forecasted figure. Meanwhile, its earnings of $2.58 per share grew 29% from the year-ago quarter and exceeded the consensus estimates by 5.3%. Moreover, the company raised its fiscal 2025 core adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $33.2 billion to $33.7 billion.
Its rival, AT&T Inc. (T), has surged 58.5% over the past year and 20.3% in 2025, outperforming the stock.
Among the 27 analysts covering the TMUS stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $270.53 suggests a 13.1% upside potential from current price levels.
