T-Mobile Expands Buyback Program as Q1 2026 Revenue and Net Income Rise

T-Mobile US is the nation’s third‑largest wireless carrier, serving postpaid, prepaid and fixed wireless customers across the United States. Its growth relies on 5G network expansion and steady subscriber additions.

The board approved an increase of several billion dollars to the existing buyback program and lengthened its duration. In Q1 2026, T-Mobile posted year‑over‑year growth in both revenue and net income, reflecting improved operational leverage. The company kept its full‑year 2026 adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow guidance unchanged, while tightening assumptions on net additions and merger synergies slightly.

The expanded buyback signals confidence in cash generation and valuation, potentially supporting the stock price. Maintaining EBITDA and cash flow guidance suggests the firm expects stable profitability despite tighter subscriber outlook. Investors will watch whether the added repurchase capacity translates into sustained shareholder returns as 5G rollout continues.
