Hardman Johnston Global Equity Strategy stated the following regarding T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ:TMUS) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

“During the quarter we liquidated Corteva Inc., T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ:TMUS) and Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. We exited the T-Mobile US, Inc position due to a shift in the risk/reward profile. While the company delivered an EPS beat and subscriber growth, competitive pricing pressures raised concerns about ARPU stability, and management’s 2026 guidance pointed to slower profit and cash flow growth. The announced $14.6B shareholder return program came in somewhat below market expectations, and earnings estimates were revised downward. Combined with sector rotation toward defensive peers and limited near-term catalysts, these factors reduced our conviction in TMUS relative to other opportunities, prompting the portfolio adjustment.”
