T-Mobile US, Inc. (TMUS - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter 2024 results on Apr 25, after the closing bell. In the trailing four quarters, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 1.33%. The wireless service provider is expected to witness a top-line expansion year over year, backed by growing demand for its postpaid services. Management’s focus on developing advanced 5G use cases is a tailwind.
Factors at Play
During the quarter, T-Mobile joined forces with the leading AI-powered customer intelligence platform Dialpad to launch Ai Recaps, an AI-enabled communication solution designed to revolutionize professional interactions across industries. Dialpad also extended its strategic partnership with T-Mobile for an additional three years, which began in 2021. T-Mobile launched 5G Home Internet service in Puerto Rico to deliver robust broadband connectivity in the region. These developments are likely to have supported the top line in the first quarter..
In the quarter under review, the company inked a 10-year agreement with Veteran Affairs to provide seamless communications and boost healthcare operations spanning 15 locations across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Leveraging an advanced feature called Uplink Transmit switching, T-Mobile demonstrated record-breaking uplink speeds of 345 Mbps on its 5G standalone network. These are likely to have a favorable impact in the upcoming results.
Key Developments in Q1
In the to-be-reported quarter, T-Mobile has joined forces with SpaceX to launch Starlink satellites with Direct-to-Cell services in the United States. Starlink's Direct-to-Cell technology ensures dependable text, voice and data services for LTE phones worldwide, even in regions where ground network infrastructure is limited. Following the successful launch of its services, T-Mobile customers will have text coverage everywhere in the United States. Voice, data and IoT services are likely to be available in upcoming years.
