Wells Fargo 8th Annual TMT Summit Conference summary
12 Jan, 2026Strategic review and asset monetization
Entered agreement in May to sell wireless operations and 30% of spectrum to T-Mobile, expected to close mid-2025 pending regulatory approval.
Sold $1B of 850 MHz spectrum to Verizon in October, contingent on T-Mobile deal closing.
Announced $1.018B spectrum sale to AT&T in November, also contingent on T-Mobile transaction.
Total gross proceeds from asset sales expected to be $6.5B, with net proceeds under $3B after taxes and debt repayment.
Retained 70% of spectrum, 4,400 towers, and minority stakes in Verizon and AT&T partnerships.
Regulatory and operational updates
Regulatory process for T-Mobile deal is on track, with no concerns and expected mid-2025 close.
Change in U.S. administration is not expected to impact deal approval.
Business continues as usual until transaction closes, with increased promotional activity improving subscriber results.
Upgrade rates remain down, but churn has decreased, indicating customer satisfaction.
Tower business outlook
Tower revenue growth slowed in 2023-2024 due to lower carrier CapEx, but long-term demand expected to double in five years.
November saw a pickup in new applications; 4,400 towers with significant capacity for new tenants.
Post-T-Mobile deal, tenancy ratio will drop but is expected to recover as towers are decommissioned or new tenants added.
30% of towers are in unique locations with no other carriers within two miles, offering growth potential.
EBITDA margins projected to exceed 50% within 3-5 years post-transaction.
