T-Mobile US Inc. (TMUS) shares slipped as much as 3% on Monday, to their lowest level in more than two years.
JPMorgan analyst Sebastiano Petti lowered the firm’s price target on T-Mobile to $260 from $275 while maintaining an ‘Overweight’ rating, according to TheFly. The firm updated its model ahead of T-Mobile’s third-quarter results to account for recent conference commentary and industry trends.
According to TheFly, JPMorgan kept its forecast for 260,000 postpaid account net additions but reduced its fiscal third quarter (Q3) wireless service revenue estimate by 0.2% to $19.3 billion, citing a lower outlook for postpaid service revenue growth.
T-Mobile Q2 Earnings Growth But Softer Customer Trends
T-Mobile’s second quarter (Q2) results showed financial growth but softer customer momentum. Service revenue rose 9% year over year to $19.0 billion, and postpaid service revenue increased 13% to $15.9 billion. However, postpaid net account additions fell 13% year over year to 277,000, while account churn was 0.99%.
The company also raised its adjusted free cash flow guidance to $18.4 billion to $18.8 billion while keeping its full-year postpaid account and profitability outlook unchanged.
T-Mobile Keeps 2026 Guidance Intact
T-Mobile has not lowered its full-year outlook. Earlier this month, the company reaffirmed its previously stated 2026 financial guidance, capital return program, and long-term financial framework.
Its Q2 outlook called for 950,000 to 1.05 million postpaid net account additions and core adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $37.1 billion to $37.5 billion.
The guidance reaffirmation came alongside a planned CFO transition. Jessica Uhl joined T-Mobile as CFO Designate in September and will succeed Peter Osvaldik in February 2027.
T-Mobile is scheduled to report its third-quarter results on Oct. 28, putting postpaid additions and service revenue growth back in focus.
