T-Mobile US stock lower after strong Q3 and higher cash outlook

T-Mobile US reported strong third-quarter operating results on October 28, 2026, while its Lang & Schwarz quote moved lower later on October 29. The company raised its full-year adjusted free cash flow outlook, adding a new market reference point for investors following the earnings release.

The T-Mobile Newsroom said the company generated USD 19.4 billion in service revenue in the third quarter, up 6 percent year over year. Postpaid service revenue increased 9 percent to USD 16.3 billion, while net income rose 27 percent to USD 3.5 billion and diluted earnings per share increased 34 percent to USD 3.22.

What has changed since the last report

The most recent relevant report on AD HOC NEWS recorded EUR 137.31 for Lang & Schwarz at 12:32 p.m. CET on October 29. The licensed quote later showed EUR 134.00 at 4:36:46 p.m. Berlin time, a decline of 2.41 percent from that reference. This is a same-day comparison with the earlier report, not a claim about the cause of the move.

Management lifted the full-year adjusted free cash flow range to USD 18.7 billion to USD 18.8 billion from USD 18.4 billion to USD 18.8 billion. The midpoint of core adjusted EBITDA guidance also increased by USD 100 million to a range of USD 37.35 billion to USD 37.45 billion. The company expects full-year service revenue of approximately USD 76.8 billion and postpaid ARPA growth of approximately 3.5 percent.

Customer monetization remained a central driver. T-Mobile added 274,000 postpaid accounts, taking the total to 35.0 million, while postpaid ARPA reached USD 155.73, up 4 percent year over year. Postpaid account churn was 1.09 percent. Adjusted free cash flow for the quarter reached USD 5.1 billion, up 5 percent year over year, although operating cash flow fell 2 percent to USD 7.3 billion.

For investors, the results point to continued growth in the postpaid business and improved cash generation guidance, while the lower later-session quote shows that strong fundamentals have not eliminated short-term market volatility. T-Mobile returned USD 3.5 billion to stockholders in the quarter through repurchases and dividends.
