Bull Case

Key Metrics to Watch

Subscriber Growth

Expected to show an increase of 1.5 million subscribers.

This metric indicates how well T-Mobile is attracting and retaining customers, which is crucial for revenue growth.

Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)

Expected to be $50.00.

Churn Rate

Expected to be 1.0%.

A lower churn rate suggests better customer retention, which is vital for sustaining growth.

Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Will subscriber growth exceed 1.5 million this quarter?

Exceeding this number would indicate strong demand and effective marketing strategies, which could boost investor confidence.

What is the expected ARPU for the upcoming quarter?

ARPU is a key indicator of revenue health; any significant changes could affect overall profitability and market perception.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may underestimate T-Mobile's ability to attract new subscribers due to its aggressive marketing and competitive pricing strategies.

Supporting Evidence

T-Mobile's recent promotions have been well-received, suggesting potential for higher subscriber growth.

The company's focus on expanding 5G infrastructure could enhance customer satisfaction and retention.

Options pricing indicates higher volatility, which may reflect investor uncertainty about the company's growth trajectory.

Key Risk

If subscriber growth significantly exceeds 1.5 million, it could challenge the current cautious outlook.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

The core debate this quarter revolves around T-Mobile's ability to sustain subscriber growth in a competitive market.

Bull Confirmed If

Subscriber growth of over 1.5 million and ARPU exceeding $50.00 would confirm the bull case.

Bear Confirmed If

Subscriber growth below 1 million or an increase in churn rate would confirm the bear case.
