Deutsche Telekom Boosts Buyback by €3B, Raises Cash Flow Outlook
TMUS is trading near its 52-week low of $165.66 (4.4% above the low).
Summary
Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile US's majority owner, expanded its 2026 share buyback by €3 billion to up to €5 billion, citing undervaluation and recent volatility. The move follows strong Q2 results: adjusted EBITDAaL of €11.8 billion beat the €11.7 billion consensus, and free cash flow guidance was raised to around €20 billion, partly reflecting adjustments at T-Mobile US. For TMUS shareholders, the parent's increased buyback signals confidence and could support the stock, which is trading near its 52-week low. This comes after T-Mobile's own strong Q2 and raised guidance in late July, and amid ongoing speculation about a potential Deutsche Telekom–T-Mobile US merger.
At the time of this announcement, TMUS was trading at $172.99 on NASDAQ in the Trade & Services sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $186.1B.
