TDS Stock Rallies on Spectrum Deal and Profit Surge
Telephone and Data Systems (TDS) shares surged following a robust quarterly performance and strategic moves, including a $1.018 billion spectrum sale and a renewed focus on fiber expansion by 2026. The stock climbed 4.78% in premarket trading after closing 0.80% higher, reflecting investor confidence in the company's repositioning.
The wireless exit and tower expansion via subsidiary Array have strengthened TDS's balance sheet, enabling share buybacks and debt repayment. Fourth-quarter net income rebounded sharply, with liquidity improvements paving the way for a special dividend and accelerated infrastructure investments.
