TMUS Earnings Week

On Wednesday, TMUS reports its quarterly earnings. The last earnings report saw a gap on the surprise earnings, but overall the price did not do much. TMUS's price has remained rangebound between the high and low of the previous earnings week. Looking at the earnings estimate, analysts are predicting an increase in earnings from the prior quarter and the same quarter last year, which could provide the catalyst needed to break out of this range.

TMUS managed to post steady gains over 2022 when the SP500 and the Communications Sector (XLC), the sector in which TMUS is a member, declined. This upward progress shows underlying fundamental strength. The price action leveling off this last quarter could mean a few different things. The response to this earnings report could show it was just price action taking a breath.

Stepping back from the TMUS chart, the SPY marked a significant milestone last week by closing above its resistance line that formed during 2022. We also see that XLC is one of the top-performing sectors YTD.
