INSTITUTIONAL MEMORANDUM · TMUS NASDAQ 100

Did the market price a ghost?

SpaceX fear obscures a cash engine still compounding through share gains, pricing and buybacks.

L2 Capital Institutional Verdict

T-Mobile US, Inc. (TMUS) is currently rated BUY with a 12-month valuation target of $205.00 (implied return: +39.5%). Based on forensic analysis of SEC filings and audited cash flows, High conviction reflects Q2 service revenue rose 9% and Core Adjusted EBITDA rose 12%, while adjusted free cash flow increased 4% to $4.8 billion..

Executive Thesis

BUY reflects a severe valuation dislocation: T-Mobile trades near its 52-week low despite targeting approximately $20 billion of 2027 adjusted free cash flow. Its spectrum position, 5G network, improving brand perception and underpenetrated broadband, business and rural markets sustain above-peer growth. The forensic concerns are acquisition-inflated revenue, rising account churn, recurring exclusions, heavy leverage and repurchases executed materially above the current price. Accumulate below $160, with a $205 target and disciplined sizing ahead of near-term earnings volatility.
