BUZZ-U.S. telecom stocks fall after SpaceX reaches spectrum agreement
October 9th - SpaceX (SPCX.O) has reached an agreement to acquire a portfolio of nationwide low-frequency spectrum licenses, enabling Starlink Mobile to become a major telecom operator in the US, causing a pre-market decline in US telecom stocks. T-Mobile (TMUS.O) shares fell by 6.3%, AT&T by 5.7%, and Verizon (VZ.N) by 5.1%. According to The Wall Street Journal, citing sources familiar with the matter, SPCX will pay about 8 billion USD in cash to the seller, private equity firm Grain Management, to acquire the asset. The financial terms of the agreement have not yet been disclosed by either party. This deal increases competition for traditional carriers, transforming satellite direct-to-device technology from a supplementary safety feature for remote signal dead zones into a full-fledged commercial competitor replacing terrestrial cellular networks. "Although the three major carriers (T, TMUS, VZ) face a more concrete competitive threat due to their weak performance among high-speed data users (HSDs), this is not entirely unexpected and will most likely begin in rural areas," said Morgan Stanley. So far this year, TMUS is down 15.6%, VZ is up 13.7%, and T is slightly up. European telecom stocks were also impacted, including Germany’s Deutsche Telekom (DTEGn.DE).
