T-Mobile is not expected to release Q2 results until the end of the month, but the wireless carrier is already generating some buzz on the part of analysts who are trying to predict what those results will be. Notably analysts want to see how T-Mobile’s performance compares with Q1 when the company had their best quarter ever. That included staking a claim to the title of fastest-growing carrier after adding 2.4 million subscribers.
Analysts like John Hodulik of UBS expects T-Mobile to retain that title for another quarter despite slower growth and a 7% increase in service revenue. Besides the challenge of stringing together consecutive record-breaking quarters, T-Mobile did not have a major “Uncarrier” move during the second quarter. Late in the period T-Mobile announced the free test drive and unlimited streaming music for Simple Choice plans. Those changes are unlikely to drive new subscriptions like the early termination fee strategy it announced in January.
One point that has some analysts concerned about is the impact of this performance on a potential merger with Sprint. If T-Mobile is able to outperform both AT&T and Verizon in some measures and demonstrates solid financial performance, it may make it difficult to argue the merger is needed to maintain competition in the market.
