Citi constructive on wireless landscape with T-Mobile top pick
On February 1, 2022, while wireless postpaid phone additions “displayed a strong exit” during Q4, the market still seems cautious on telecommunications operator stocks given the risks of slower industry growth and greater competition, especially after the outperformance in cable postpaid phone net adds, Citi analyst Michael Rollins tells investors in a research note. The strength in cable net adds is a function of a larger switcher pool, which benefitted from device-replacement cycles compressing towards pre-pandemic levels of 39 months, says the analyst. Rollins maintains a more constructive view on the wireless landscape, saying a potential “competitive equilibrium may be forming in wireless from stabilizing gross-add shares.” He expects solid wireless industry service revenue growth from balanced volume and T-Mobile (TMUS) remains his top pick with a Buy rating and $155 price target. Rollins views the company’s upcoming Q4 earnings as a “recalibration opportunity” for 2022 expectations. The analyst keeps a Neutral rating on Verizon Communications (VZ) with a $58 price target.
