Is a Surprise Coming for T-Mobile US (TMUS) This Earnings Season?

Investors are always looking for stocks that are poised to beat at earnings season and T-Mobile US, Inc. (TMUS), may be one such company. The firm has earnings coming up pretty soon, and events are shaping up quite nicely for their report.

That is because T-Mobile US is seeing favorable earnings estimate revision activity as of late, which is generally a precursor to an earnings beat. After all, analysts raising estimates right before earnings — with the most up-to-date information possible — is a pretty good indicator of some favorable trends underneath the surface for TMUS in this report.

In fact, the Most Accurate Estimate for the current quarter is currently at $1.47 per share for TMUS, compared to a broader Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.51 per share. This suggests that analysts have very recently bumped up their estimates for TMUS, giving the stock a Zacks Earnings ESP of -2.44%  heading into earnings season.

Our recent 10-year backtest shows that stocks that have a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better show a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and have returned over 28% on average in annual returns (see more Top Earnings ESP stocks here).
