Thesis Summary

T-Mobile continues to demonstrate customer and network differentiation, with 277,000 postpaid net account additions, 0.99% postpaid account churn and a record wireless NPS of 46 in the second quarter of 2026. Management maintained its 950,000-1.05 million full-year postpaid-account-addition outlook and has longer-term broadband and digital-transformation opportunities. However, second-quarter additions declined 13% year over year, execution remains exposed to integration, restructuring, competition and technology risks, and the official August 28 share quote of $180.94 provides only modest upside to the internally assessed base case.

Bear CaseDownside scenario
$169.0018%

A bear outcome assumes postpaid additions fall below guidance, churn deteriorates and integration, restructuring or competitive pressures weaken the customer proposition. Failure to translate network leadership and broadband expansion into durable customer growth would warrant a substantially lower market assessment.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$243.3858%
Matches the consensus mean

The base case assumes continued but moderating customer growth, full-year postpaid additions within the 950,000-1.05 million guidance range and broadly stable retention.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$300.0024%

A bull outcome assumes T-Mobile sustains its network and customer-experience lead, achieves or exceeds the upper end of 2026 postpaid account guidance and makes credible progress toward its 2030 target of 18-19 million total broadband customers. Successful digitalization, AI deployment and integration execution would support a materially stronger market assessment.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.
