Brean Capital analyst Todd Mitchell points out shares of DISH (DISH) rallied yesterday after its CEO Charlie Ergen said he may not pursue an acquisition of T-Mobile (TMUS) and instead sell the company's spectrum. The read on the situation is likely too literal, Mitchell tells investors in a research note. Ergen was not speaking to investors, but rather to FCC regulators in an effort to keep the $3.3B in small business discounts entities controlled by DISH had received in the most recent spectrum auction, the analyst believes. Mitchell thinks a DISH acquisition of T-Mobile is "still in play," and that the deal has the potential for upside. He reiterates a Buy rating on DISH with an $88 price target. The stock closed yesterday up $2.82 to $68.22.

RBC Capital raised the firm's price target on T-Mobile to $188 from $184 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The company posted mixed Q1 results, with service revenues in line, EBITDA and free cash flow above, and total revenue shy relative to consensus expectations, though the management also increased the guidance ranges for postpaid net additions, core adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow, the analyst tells investors in a research note. T-Mobile will continue to outpace its peers in postpaid/phone subscriber growth, the firm added.

T-Mobile reported mixed results, with service revenue slightly below expectations and adjusted EBITDA higher on better expenses, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm thinks 2024 guidance should be achievable and likely has upside and maintains that T-Mobile has created a sustainable 5G network advantage and subscribers will follow, and expects to see high single digit EBITDA growth and double digit free cash flow growth, which should be returned to shareholders.
