Revenue grew 8.5% year over year, outpacing the sector median of 5.9% by +43%, and the most recent quarter's EPS came in 25.7% ahead of consensus — a beat that fits a track record where analysts have consistently underestimated results. FCF yield runs at 9.4%, well above the sector median of 3.0%, which means the stock returns meaningful cash relative to its price even as the business carries the debt load typical of large telecom operators. The EV/EBITDA of 8.7× sits -70% below the sector median of 28.8× — a gap that is wide for a company growing faster than most peers. The F-Score of 6/9 and a composite of 61/100 against the sector place fundamentals in the moderate range: nothing is deteriorating, but the efficiency sub-score flags that asset turnover and margin expansion have not yet matched the revenue pace. Consensus models further EPS growth, and the realized three-year CAGR per SEC filings broadly supports that direction, though analyst forecasts carry the usual optimistic tilt.

Quarter-by-quarter classification · a retrospective read by the current logic · not a price forecast
Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. The method did not see these quarters in real time; this is the current logic applied to past reports.
The market prices in earnings growth; analyst sentiment is steady; has mostly beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
A forward P/E below the current one means the market expects earnings to grow; above it, to fall. The historical growth is realized figures from SEC filings, not a forecast.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
When TMUS reports on October 21, 2026, track whether revenue growth holds above the sector median of 5.94% year over year and whether FCF yield stays near 3.02%. Also check the profitability sub-score — currently 3/4 — for any change in net income or asset efficiency signals.
Open the most recent TMUS annual report and focus on the risk factors and MD&A sections covering long-term debt load and spectrum license obligations. The Leverage and Liquidity sub-score of 2/3 suggests at least one flag worth tracing to the actual balance sheet figures.
Pick two or three companies from the Communication Services table in section 06 and line up one metric — EV/EBITDA, FCF yield, or revenue growth — across your selection. TMUS carries an EV/EBITDA of 28.8×, which sits 70% below the sector median, so the comparison will show where that gap narrows or widens among the names you choose.

Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice.
A simplified retrospective read: no analyst forecast (not available historically); the source is the annual report as of the date, so neighbouring quarters can rest on the same data. Quarters with the same classification in a row are merged into one row — each row is one change in the read, not a separate quarter. One ticker is an illustration of the classification logic, not statistics. How we calculate →
The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
A description of what the market and analysts expect. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. Analyst forecasts run systematically optimistic over long horizons — read them with that discount.
