<\/div>\n

T-Mobile stock has been in a steep downtrend since peaking at $268.90 in March last year. The sell-off accelerated today as concerns grew over competition from SpaceX, pushing the shares to a low of $148, their lowest level since December 2023. With the stock down sharply from its high, the question now is whether this sell-off is justified and whether a rebound is likely.<\/p>\n

T-Mobile stock continues falling amid SpaceX competition risk<\/h2>\n

Investors have a long record of panicking whenever a big company is entering an industry. A few years ago, the concerns were that Amazon would disrupt all types of retail companies. While Amazon has taken a large market share, many retailers like Kroger, Walmart, and Costco have done well.<\/p>\n

Investors have also dumped software companies, which they believe will be disrupted by artificial intelligence tools like Claude and ChatGPT. This situation is widely known as SaaSPocalypse. <\/p>\n

The same fear is happening in the telecom industry today as investors react to SpaceX\u2019s decision to acquire for a spectrum license<\/a> that will make it a more direct competitor. The acquisition comes as the SEC nears a crucial vote that will benefit satellite companies like SpaceX and Amazon.<\/p>\n

It also comes as SpaceX prepares to launch its most advanced Starlink satellites that will lead to faster download and upload speeds. <\/p>\n

As such, investors fear that these developments will affect the revenue growth of legacy telecom companies. While this fear may be justified, there is a possibility that investors are overreacting. For one, it will take SpaceX a long time to have a major impact, especially in urban areas. <\/p>\n

T-Mobile continues to gain market share<\/p>\n

The most recent results showed that T-Mobile has continued growing faster than its top competitors. Its service revenue rose by 9% to $19 billion, with its postpaid segment making $15.9 billion. <\/p>\n

The company\u2019s net income rose modestly to $3.2 billion, with management pointing to higher UScellular merger costs and depreciation. Consequently, it decided to return $3.3 billion to investors through buybacks and repurchases. It is in the process of executing a $54.6 billion in shareholder returns over time.<\/p>\n

T-Mobile\u2019s annual revenue is expected to keep growing in the foreseeable future. Its annual revenue is expected to grow by 6.8% this year followed by $98.5 billion next year. <\/p>\n

Most notably, T-Mobile has become relatively undervalued, with its forward price-to-earnings ratio of 13.8 being lower than the five-year average of 28.6. <\/p>\n

Technicals suggest that the T-Mobile stock price has slumped in the past few months. It has moved from $268.90 in 2025 to the current $150. During this slump, it has dropped below the important support level of 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level. <\/p>\n

The stock is also about to form a death cross pattern as the 50-week and 200-week moving averages near their crossover. Also, it has continued to drop below major support levels. <\/p>\n

Therefore, the stock will likely continue falling, potentially to the psychological level of $100. Over time, however, the stock will likely bounce back as investors start buying the dip.<\/p>\n
