T-Mobile US, Inc. (TMUS) has announced plans to raise a significant $2.5 billion through a secondary senior notes offering. This capital injection will be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including repurchasing shares, paying dividends, and refinancing existing debt. The company’s subsidiary is looking to sell $700 million in 4.200% Senior Notes due 2029, $900 million in 4.700% Senior Notes due 2035, and $900 million in 5.250% Senior Notes due 2055.
This move comes on the heels of positive analyst sentiment following T-Mobile’s unveiling of its ambitious three-year plan.

T-Mobile’s recent financial performance has been equally impressive. The company reported a 3% increase in revenue during the second quarter, reaching $19.77 billion, exceeding analyst expectations of $19.55 billion. Furthermore, T-Mobile added a significant 301 thousand postpaid net accounts and 406 thousand high-speed internet customers during the quarter.
These positive developments have contributed to a strong upward trajectory for T-Mobile stock, which has risen by 45% over the past 12 months. Investors interested in gaining exposure to T-Mobile can consider investing in ETFs like the BlackRock U.S. Equity Factor Rotation ETF (DYNF) and the Vanguard Growth ETF (VUG).
