报告摘要
T-Mobile US (TMUS.O) 2Q25 Preview Summary
Core Content and Key Insights
T-Mobile US is expected to continue its promotional strategies in the postpaid market during 2Q25, which may lead to increased volume but could dilute EBITDA. The company's postpaid phone net adds are projected to be at least 720k, potentially exceeding the current consensus of 715k. Despite the promotional costs, the company remains on track for 5%+ EBITDA growth for 2025.
The earnings focus will include:
- Postpaid phone net adds
- FWA net adds
- Service revenue growth
- EBITDA growth
- Free cash flow (FCF)
Investor sentiment is cautious about 2Q25 phone net adds, but the elevated promotions and better prepaid-to-postpaid conversion suggest that T-Mobile could meet or exceed expectations. FWA net adds are expected to be solid at 410k, though slightly below the consensus of 415k. The company may provide a first look at fiber volume contributions in its report.
Service revenue is forecasted to grow by 5.7% yoy, surpassing the consensus of 5.5% yoy, potentially driven by price actions. However, Core EBITDA growth is expected to be 3.1% yoy, below the consensus of 5.0% yoy, due to increased promotional spending and transformation investments.
Free cash flow is anticipated to be $4.2B, slightly below the consensus of $4.3B.
Implications and Market Outlook
T-Mobile is expected to remain a natural share gainer, but the tighter competitive landscape in 2025 may limit its ability to beat and raise earnings significantly. The company's promotional strategy is seen as more attractive than its competitors, but the increased churn and gross add gains from incumbents like AT&T and Verizon may create some friction on near-term EBITDA generation.
The company may positively surprise on 2Q25 phone net adds, especially after slightly missing last quarter, but the 2025 guidance range is not expected to see a significant improvement.

Conclusion
Citi Research maintains a Neutral view on T-Mobile US shares, with a target price of US$268.00. While the company is expected to perform well in terms of volume and service revenue, the impact of promotional costs and transformation investments may dilute EBITDA growth. T-Mobile's strategic focus on promotions and its position in the competitive market suggest that it remains a potential beneficiary, but the overall financial performance may not meet investor expectations significantly in the near term.
