Q3 2026 earnings recap
T-Mobile grew revenue per account and raised its cash-flow outlook, but fewer new accounts and higher customer departures make retention the next key test.
- Third-quarter revenue rose 7.4% to $23.58 billion and reported profit per share reached $3.22, beating estimates of $23.15 billion and $2.89 respectively.
- Monthly revenue per postpaid account rose 4% to $155.73, helping recurring service revenue grow even as new-account additions slowed.
- The company added 274,000 postpaid accounts versus 396,000 a year earlier, while the monthly account departure rate rose to 1.09% from 0.97%.
- Adjusted free cash flow rose 5.3% to $5.07 billion as lower network spending offset weaker operating cash flow, supporting dividends and buybacks.
- Management raised its 2026 adjusted free-cash-flow range to $18.7–$18.8 billion from $18.4–$18.8 billion, while keeping expected net account additions near one million.
- At the October 28 close of $148.08, shares traded around 14.3 times trailing reported profit per share and remained below their 20-day and 50-day averages.
Watch whether stronger revenue per account can offset customer losses without costly promotions, with the recent $143.5–$146.5 price area an approximate support zone.
