T-Mobile US hopes for growth through acquisitions

The Deutsche Telekom subsidiary T-Mobile US $TMUS (+1,93 %) is full of zest for action and has planned a number of acquisitions to accelerate its growth. In addition to the already completed takeover of advertising specialist Vistar Media, for which the company has dug deep into its pockets, T-Mobile US would also like to acquire the British ad tech service provider Blis. The move involves an investment of 175 million euros in cash. The strategy is clear: these acquisitions should generate around 250 million euros in additional revenue in the current year and increase the operating profit, the EBITDA, by 75 million euros. In addition, free cash flow is expected to increase by 50 million euros. The T-Mobile share is currently trading at USD 258.49 on the NASDAQ, but a slight drop of 2.33 percent cannot hide the positive outlook.

ProSiebenSat.1 in talks about investments

ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE $PSM (+0,35 %) is also proving dynamic and has started talks with General Atlantic about possible minority stakes in the NuCom Group and the ParshipMeet Group. These negotiations could be quite exciting, as they may also include the issue of a mandatory convertible bond and the transfer of treasury shares from ProSiebenSat.1 to General Atlantic. Sales processes for the NuCom Group's stakes in Verivox and flaconi are already underway in the background. If an agreement is reached with General Atlantic, it will be necessary to sell at least one of the two investments. The situation therefore remains dynamic and further information will soon be available to shed further light on ProSiebenSat.1's strategy.

Deutsche Telekom $DTE (+0,36 %) has published its profit forecast for 2025 and clearly missed analysts' expectations. The reason for this is the intense price wars in the European markets, which slowed growth last year. 📉

The company expects adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to increase by around 4.5% to EUR 44.9 billion (USD 47.1 billion) this year. Analysts, however, had expected an Ebitdaal of 46.9 billion euros.

Deutsche Telekom, Europe's largest mobile communications provider, is heavily dependent on its share in the US operator T-Mobile US $TMUS (+1,93 %) operator. While T-Mobile's financial figures have recently been positive, analysts expect slower growth in Germany and the rest of Europe, which will be impacted by tough competition and price wars.

On the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Deutsche Telekom shares fell by 3.6% to 33.71 euros. Despite these declines, the shares have gained 53% in the last 12 months. In the fourth quarter, adjusted Ebitdaal in Germany rose by 2.8% to 2.66 billion euros, exceeding analysts' estimates of 2.65 billion euros.

This means that even the most remote locations will be reached in future, the US subsidiary of the $DTE (+0,36 %) on Sunday (local time). In the USA alone, around 1.3 million square kilometers cannot be covered by mobile phone masts. Special satellite phones have therefore mostly been used in these regions or on the high seas.

Hello everyone,

At the end of last year, I published my "top picks list" here, in which I presented the stocks that I have put on my watchlist for 2024 and am also partially invested in (unfortunately not in all of them 😁).

At the time, I had compiled a list of stocks recommended by well-known analysts and put them through "my requirements profile". The original 100 stock ideas then became the list below. A year later, I'm looking back. This was the performance:

🟢 $TMUS (+1,93 %) +1,63%

🟢 Sterling Infrastructure: +100.68%

🟢 $CRM (-5,58 %) Salesforce: +28.14%

🟢 $RR. (+0,64 %) Rolls-Royce: +92.56%

🟢 $MOD (-14,01 %) Modine Manufacturing: +98.68%

🟠 $MHO (-7,33 %) M/I Homes: -1.46%

🟢 $META (-7,03 %) Meta: +68.52%

🟢 $MCD (+0,75 %) McDonalds: +0.14%

🟢 $MA (-3,47 %) Mastercard: +26.26%

🟢 $ISP (-7,5 %) Intesa Sanpaolo: +45.44%

🟢 $ISRG (-2,41 %) Intuitive Surgical: +59.62%

🟠 $GCT Gigacloud Technologies: -0.66%

🟢 $FDX (-12,02 %) FedEx: +11.11%

🟠 $LPG (-9,36 %) Dorian LPG: -47.70%

🟢 $COST (-0,44 %) Costco: +43.34%

🟢 $US1011372067 Boston Scientific: +63.23%

🟢 $BKNG (-6,59 %) Booking: +44.19%

🟠 $ABX (-1,82 %) Barrick Gold: -14.73%

🟢 $APP (-7,52 %) Applovin: +753.81%

🟢 $GOOG (-3,48 %) Alphabet: +39.28%

🟢 $AMZN (-6,32 %) Amazon: +48,05%

🟢 $ANF (-10,39 %) Abercrombie & Fitch: +69.99%

As you can see, my stock ideas have done quite well. $APP (-7,52 %) with +753.81% was of course a big hit. $DORIAN With -47.70% it was a pipe-dropper.

🔥 I'm currently working on my top picks list for 2025. If you're interested, I'll be happy to share it again and put it up for discussion!
