TMUS: Seems pretty much ok after all

Following weak relative performance on a host of concerns heading into its 4Q results and CMD, we believe the company successfully, but not totally, soothed the market. What were these concerns? Weak sub growth in the face of an ascendant Verizon, falling ARPU in an intensifying competitive climate, mediocre EBITDA growth as a result of both, and cautious capital returns as a result. By and large TMUS met or exceeded, in our view, on most of these issues. The one thing people did not like? The Netflixification of the company’s reporting metrics replacing ‘subscribers’ with ‘accounts’. The big surprise? Parent company DT with a 52% stake will NOT be participating in the company’s $10bn share buyback this year. Much more on CMD takeaways inside.
