T-Mobile US Inc. (TMUS) shares fell 13.27% to close at $148.58. The primary driver was a broader telecom selloff triggered by news that SpaceX acquired low-band spectrum licenses, which raised concerns among investors about future competition in the wireless market.

What Happened

The decline followed reports that Elon Musk’s SpaceX could shake up the US wireless market, leading to a sell-off in major carriers. Analysts noted that while the news triggered immediate selling, some viewed the competitive threat as overstated. Raymond James upgraded T-Mobile to Outperform from Market Perform, with analyst Frank Louthan setting a $170 price target. Louthan argued that fears regarding SpaceX competition were overblown and presented a buying opportunity. The stock had been under pressure recently, moving down 1.4% over the last eight sessions from $165.66 to $163.41.

What The Data Shows

T-Mobile’s market capitalization stands at $159.4B with a P/E ratio of 15.6. The company reported trailing twelve-month revenue growth of 9.7% and a net margin of 11.5%. Its beta is 0.32, and it offers a dividend yield of 3.15%. The stock is currently trading near the bottom of its 52-week range, which spans from $147.90 to $231.02. Intraday, the stock opened at $150.10, a 1.0% gap from the prior close, before hitting a session high of $150.70 at 8:05 AM ET. Volume was light at 0.1M shares, which is 0.0x the 3-month daily average. Recent insider activity includes one sale totaling $138K by Daniel James Drobac, VP and Chief Accounting Officer. Congressional filings show six buys and nine sells in the last 90 days, including a recent purchase by Donald J. Trump.

What To Watch

Investors will look to T-Mobile’s Q3 2026 earnings report for further clarity on how the company is managing costs and growth amid the new spectrum landscape. Coverage from eleven stories across eight sources in the last 36 hours indicates sustained analyst interest in the stock’s valuation relative to its peers.
