T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ:TMUS) has declined roughly 10% over the past 30 days, mainly due to competitive pressure from SpaceX’s Starlink push in mobile services. However, analysts project roughly 42% upside from the current level, driven by the company’s aggressive 5G monetization. T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ:TMUS) ranks as one of the Top Large Cap Stocks to Invest In At 52-Week Lows.
Recently, on June 26, Reuters reported that SpaceX has told investors it is planning to launch a direct retail mobile service for US consumers under the Starlink brand. This will place the company in direct competition with T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T.
The report noted that SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell, during the IPO roadshow, reportedly disclosed that the company is considering building its own terrestrial US mobile network. This goes well beyond the company’s current partnership with T-Mobile, which only provides supplemental satellite coverage in remote areas. Moreover, the move is supported by significant spectrum acquisitions. The company purchased wireless spectrum licenses from EchoStar in two deals totaling around $17 billion, giving it the airwaves needed to offer a robust and affordable direct-to-cell service.
Recently, TD Cowen analyst Gregory Williams floated the idea that SpaceX could eventually look to acquire T-Mobile as part of its ambition to build a full-scale wireless and broadband platform. He noted that Starlink is no longer just a satellite internet service and aims to become a comprehensive connectivity network spanning broadband, mobile, and a hybrid of satellite and ground-based wireless infrastructure. To achieve that, SpaceX would likely need a wholesale network agreement with a major US carrier such as T-Mobile.
T-Mobile US Inc. (NASDAQ:TMUS) is a telecom services company that offers wireless communications services, such as voice, messaging, and data, to postpaid, prepaid, and wholesale customers. The company also deals in wireless devices.
