T-Mobile stock (TMUS) set for post-holiday test after Wells Fargo target lift and €2.5 billion bond sale

NEW YORK, February 16, 2026, 14:33 (EST) — The market is shut.

  • TMUS wrapped up the session on Feb. 13 at $219.50, a gain of 2.25%.
  • Wells Fargo bumped up its TMUS target price to $235, up from $225, and stuck with its Overweight rating.
  • The next dividend comes in at $1.02 per share. Record holders as of Feb. 27 will see payments on March 12.

T-Mobile US, Inc. (TMUS) finished the session up roughly 2.3% at $219.52 ahead of the holiday break. Wells Fargo’s Eric Luebchow bumped his price target on the stock to $235, up from $225, while sticking with his Overweight call.

U.S. stock trading pauses Monday for Presidents Day, picking up again Tuesday. Until then, Friday’s closing numbers and weekend research notes set the tone for TMUS’s opening moves.

The pause comes just before a busy stretch for data—numbers that could sway rate bets and jolt flows between growth and defensive names. Nasdaq-100 futures slipped 0.3% Monday, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Wells Fargo, in a note picked up by TheFly, said T-Mobile’s 2027 outlook should “calm fears of a carrier price war”—that is, the risk of competitors ramping up discounts and sweetening phone subsidies. TipRanks

T-Mobile extended its winning streak to five sessions, outpacing both AT&T and Verizon during Friday’s trading, according to MarketWatch data. Trading volume for TMUS topped the 50-day average.

Shares found renewed interest following T-Mobile’s earnings and guidance last week. The company bumped up its 2027 forecasts for both service revenue and adjusted free cash flow. Analyst Craig Moffett at MoffettNathanson noted the upcoming changes in reporting, calling the increased transparency “more is more.” Reuters

T-Mobile’s upcoming dividend clocks in at $1.02 per share, according to its investor site, with shareholders needing to be on record by Feb. 27 to qualify. Payment lands March 12. The record date marks who’s in.

All eyes on TMUS at the open—will it hold the $220 level, and does the uptick in turnover last? Competitive pricing is the wild card, particularly if Verizon and AT&T ramp up their promotions.

But that downside risk isn’t new. If discounting ramps up, churn—customer departures—could spike, squeezing margins right when investors are already shelling out for more predictable cash returns.

T-Mobile’s next major financial move is coming from its balance sheet. The company disclosed that its unit, T-Mobile USA, plans to sell €2.5 billion in euro-denominated senior notes. The offering is set to wrap up on Feb. 19, pending standard closing conditions. The pricing will be closely eyed by investors; proceeds could be steered toward a mix of general corporate purposes, potentially including buybacks or debt refinancing.

  • Michael Burry Warns of Potential Stock Market Crash Amid 2026 AI-Driven Rally
    May 23, 2026, 2:23 AM EDT. Michael Burry, famed for predicting the 2008 housing crash, warns that the 2026 stock market rally driven by AI and semiconductor stocks resembles the late stages of the 1999-2000 tech bubble. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has surged 65% this year, while Burry has bought put options betting on a 30% drop by January 2027. The S&P 500's Shiller CAPE valuation stands at 41.7, near dotcom bubble levels. Although Burry's recent predictions have been mixed, stretched valuations and record low consumer sentiment despite record highs underline risks. Investors are advised to reassess current stock valuations and not panic, using the warning as a caution rather than a call to sell immediately.
