T-Mobile US, Inc. (TMUS) shares last closed up about 2.3% at $219.52, as the market heads into a holiday break. Wells Fargo analyst Eric Luebchow raised his price target to $235 from $225 and reiterated an Overweight rating. (Businessinsider)

U.S. stock markets are shut on Monday for Presidents Day and reopen Tuesday. With no new trading, Friday’s close and weekend research notes will steer the early read on TMUS. (ABC News)

The timing matters because the pause lands ahead of a data-heavy week that can move rate expectations and shift money between growth and defensives. Nasdaq-100 futures were down 0.3% on Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported. (Wall Street Journal)

In a note carried by TheFly, Wells Fargo said T-Mobile’s guide through 2027 was enough to “calm fears of a carrier price war” — shorthand for rivals leaning on discounts and bigger phone subsidies. (TipRanks)

T-Mobile has risen for five straight sessions and beat AT&T and Verizon in Friday’s trade, MarketWatch data showed. Volume in TMUS ran above its 50-day average. (MarketWatch)

The stock’s bid picked up after T-Mobile’s earnings and outlook update last week, when it raised 2027 targets for service revenue and adjusted free cash flow. MoffettNathanson analyst Craig Moffett flagged the coming shift in disclosure and, on transparency, summed it up as “more is more.” (Reuters)

Another date on the calendar: T-Mobile’s next dividend is $1.02 a share, with a Feb. 27 record date and a March 12 payment, the company’s investor site shows. The record date is the cut-off for shareholders to be on the register. (T-Mobile Investor Relations)

Traders will watch whether TMUS can hold around $220 when the market reopens and whether the recent pickup in turnover sticks. Competitive pricing remains the swing factor, especially if Verizon and AT&T lean harder on promotions.

But the downside case is familiar. A sharper round of discounting could lift churn — customer departures — and pressure margins just as investors are paying up for steadier cash returns.

T-Mobile’s next hard catalyst sits on the balance sheet: the company said its unit T-Mobile USA agreed to sell €2.5 billion of euro-denominated senior notes, with the offering scheduled to close on Feb. 19, subject to customary conditions. Investors will watch how the deal prices, since proceeds may go toward general corporate uses including repurchases and refinancing. (Business Wire)
