Heading into today, shares of the wireless carrier had gained 9.17% over the past month, outpacing the Computer and Technology sector's loss of 2.52% and the S&P 500's gain of 7% in that time.

Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $1.94 per share and revenue of $67.81 billion. These totals would mark changes of -51.74% and +50.7%, respectively, from last year.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for TMUS. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
