Overview

⚠ Investor warnings · 4 flags
  • high
    Earnings decline significant
    Earnings YoY -11.3% despite modest revenue growth of +2.9%, signaling cost pressures or non-operating headwinds eroding profitability.
  • high
    Heavy debt load
    Debt/Equity of 1.23 on a $146.8B market cap implies substantial leverage; rising rates increase refinancing risk for telecom's capital-intensive model.
  • moderate
    Low quality/momentum scores
    ACCE Quality score 19/100 and Momentum 25/100 are weak, suggesting poor earnings quality and negative price trend despite value score of 96.
  • moderate
    Sequential revenue contraction
    QoQ revenue growth of -5.9% indicates near-term business deceleration, potentially undermining the bull case built on steady subscriber growth.
Reports in 29 days, last quarter beat by 0.1%.
