Summary · why it matters

Reaves Long Term Value Wrap Strategy reported a 10.55% gain in the second quarter of 2026, outperforming the MSCI USA Infrastructure Index, which fell 6.31%, while cash distributions rose 6.7% from the second quarter of 2025. In its quarterly investor letter, the strategy singled out T-Mobile US as a detractor, citing renewed concerns about competitive intensity in US wireless. The letter said new pricing plans at Verizon and AT&T narrowed T-Mobile's premium gap at retail, while satellite headline risk reached feverish levels around the much-anticipated SpaceX IPO, and it added that it believes Starlink lacks the assets to be disruptive to wireless in the near term but acknowledged the overhang may persist. Rumors that parent company Deutsche Telekom may be interested in consolidating the T-Mobile minority shareholders also pressured the stock, according to the letter. T-Mobile closed at $176.26 per share on September 16, 2026, down 4.90% over the past month and 27.84% over the past year, with a market capitalization of $184.95 billion and a 52-week range of $165.66 to $242.37. The letter also noted that 85 hedge fund portfolios held T-Mobile at the end of the second quarter, unchanged from the previous quarter.
