T-Mobile US Stock Analysis

How to Read Quarterly Performance

Quarterly revenue and net income are T-Mobile US's most recent three-month results. Each bar shows net income nested inside revenue, since profit is the slice of revenue left after all costs; the taller the green portion relative to the blue, the more of each sales dollar reached the bottom line. A bar below zero is a quarterly loss.

For a long-term view, compare each quarter with the same quarter a year earlier (year-over-year), not with the previous quarter — sequential change is mostly seasonality (for many businesses the holiday quarter is always the biggest). Then watch the trend across several years: is year-over-year revenue growth accelerating or fading; is net income growing at least as fast as revenue (expanding vs compressing margins)? One quarter is noise — the multi-quarter trend is the signal.
