T-Mobile raises guidance after record Q3 subscriber growth

The quarter strengthens the case that T-Mobile’s network position, broadband expansion and customer momentum can support continued growth, but the thesis depends on execution across acquisitions, wholesale normalization, spectrum choices and capital allocation.

Transcript intelligence

What changed

Compared with the prior-quarter analysis, T-Mobile reported another strong operating quarter, raised 2024 guidance, reached 6 million broadband customers and provided more detail on AI-driven network upgrades, digital sales, spectrum optionality and pending acquisitions.

Guidance delta

Management raised 2024 guidance for postpaid net adds to 5.6–5.8 million, ARPA growth to about 3%, and adjusted EBITDA to $31.6–$31.8 billion.

Key takeaways

  • Q3 delivered record postpaid net adds, low churn and a 40% year-over-year increase in digital iPhone sales.
  • The broadband base reached 6 million customers, halfway to management’s 12 million 2028 target.
  • Wholesale revenue is expected to trough in 2025 before growth resumes.
  • Management described a more disciplined buyback cadence after the share-price run-up.

Management priorities

  • Extend 5G network leadership through AI-driven, customer-driven coverage upgrades.
  • Expand home internet toward 12 million customers by 2028.
  • Scale digital-first sales and activations.
  • Advance US Cellular, Lumos and Metronet transactions subject to required approvals.
  • Develop AI-RAN capabilities with Ericsson, Nokia and NVIDIA.

Methodology

Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.

Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.

Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
