TMUS, Verizon Communications Inc. VZ and United States Cellular Corp. USM.\nIndustry: Wireless\nLink: https://www.zacks.com/commentary/2253093/3-wireless-stocks-likely-to-profit-despite-near-term-hiccups\nThe Zacks Wireless National industry appears to be mired in high capital expenditures for infrastructure upgrades, margin woes, supply-chain disruptions amid the prolonged Russia-Ukraine war and Israel-Hamas conflict, soft China market conditions and high customer inventory levels. However, the industry is likely to benefit in the long run from an accelerated 5G rollout and increased fiber densification.\nAgainst this backdrop, T-Mobile US Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and United States Cellular Corp. are likely to gain from higher demand for scalable infrastructure for seamless network connectivity with a wide proliferation of IoT, wireless traction and solid broadband momentum.\nIndustry Description\nThe Zacks Wireless National industry primarily comprises firms that provide a comprehensive range of communication services and business solutions. These include wireless, wireline, local exchange, long-distance calls, data/broadband and Internet, video, managed networking, messaging, wholesale and cloud-based services to retail consumers.\nThe firms within the industry also offer IP-based voice and data services, targeted advertising, television, streaming content, cable networks and publishing operations, multiprotocol label switching networking, fiber optic long-haul networks and hosting and communications systems to businesses and government agencies. In addition, the firms provide edge computing services that allow businesses to route application-specific traffic where required and are most effective — whether in the cloud, the network, or on their premises.\nWhat's Shaping the Future of the Wireless National Industry?\nDepleting Profits: Increased infrastructure spending for network upgrades has largely compromised short-term margins. Aggressive promotional expenses, lucrative discounts and the adoption of several low-priced service plans to attract and retain customers amid a challenging macroeconomic environment are eroding profits.\nA steady decline in linear TV subscribers and legacy services due to a challenging macroeconomic environment and high inflation adds to the margin woes. Consequently, the industry firms are increasingly seeking diversification from legacy telecom services to more business, enterprise and wholesale opportunities. The companies are making significant investments to upgrade their network and product portfolio, including considerable advances in software-defined, wide-area network capabilities and a new Cloud Core architecture.\nAccelerated 5G Rollout & Fiber Densification: Most industry participants are deploying the latest 4G LTE Advanced technologies to deliver higher peak data speeds and capacity, driven by customer-focused planning, disciplined engineering and investments for infrastructure upgrades. The companies are also expanding their fiber optic networks to support 4G LTE and 5G wireless standards.\nFurther, leading firms within the industry have been deploying the C-Band spectrum to gain additional coverage. These mid-band airwaves offer significant bandwidth with better propagation characteristics for optimum coverage in rural and urban areas compared with mmWave. As the 5G ecosystem evolves, customers are expected to experience significant enhancements in coverage and speed.\nDemand-Supply Imbalance: High raw material prices due to the Israel-Hamas conflict, the prolonged Russia-Ukraine war and the consequent economic sanctions against the Putin regime have affected the operation schedule of various firms. The demand-supply imbalance has crippled operations and largely affected profitability due to inflated equipment prices.\nWireless operators have been facing challenges due to the disruptive rise of over-the-top service providers in this dynamic industry. Price-sensitive competition for customer retention in the core business is expected to intensify in the coming days. Aggressive competition is likely to limit the ability to attract and retain customers, and affect operating and financial results.\nShift to Software-Centric Model: The industry participants are realigning their wireless network toward a software-centric model to cater to increasing business demands and customer needs through remote facilities. The industry players are focused on bringing improved operational efficiencies through network simplification and rationalization, thereby boosting end-to-end provisioning time and driving standardization.\nMoreover, the firms are offering a variety of pathways for delivering services through a combination of network-based video transcoding, packaging, storage and compression technologies to offer new IP video formats, live TV, streaming services and home gateways to connected devices inside and outside the home.\nZacks Industry Rank Indicates Bleak Prospects\nThe Zacks Wireless National industry is housed within the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector. It carries a Zacks Industry Rank #187, which places it in the bottom 26% of more than 250 Zacks industries.\nThe group's Zacks Industry Rank, which is basically the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates dull prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.\nBefore we present a few wireless national stocks that are well-positioned to outperform the market based on a strong earnings outlook, let's take a look at the industry's recent stock market performance and valuation picture.\nIndustry Lags S&P 500, Sector\nThe Zacks Wireless National industry has lagged the S&P 500 composite and the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector over the past year.\nThe industry has jumped just 0.7% over this period compared with the S&P 500 and the sector's growth of 27.2% and 43.9%, respectively.\nIndustry's Current Valuation\nOn the basis of the trailing 12-month enterprise value-to-EBITDA (EV/EBITDA), which is the most appropriate multiple for valuing telecom stocks, the industry is currently trading at 7.76X compared with the S&P 500's 15.05X. It is also below the sector's trailing 12-month EV/EBITDA of 14.39X.\nOver the past five years, the industry has traded as high as 8.93X, as low as 5.46X and at the median of 7.08X.\n3 Wireless National Stocks to Keep a Close Eye On\nT-Mobile: Headquartered in Bellevue, WA, T-Mobile is a national wireless service provider.

With one of the most efficient wireless networks in the United States, it deploys the latest technologies to deliver faster peak data speeds and capacity for customers, driven by customer-focused planning, disciplined engineering and constant strategic investment.\nThe company remains focused on making necessary capital expenditures due to the expansion of 5G mmWave in new and existing markets, the densification of the 4G LTE wireless network to cater to huge traffic demands across multiple verticals and the continued deployment of the fiber infrastructure.
