Telecom Services Stocks
Telecom Services: BCE Inc. owns the largest revenue base; Millicom International Cellular S.A. has the fastest current growth.
How has Telecom Services moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 15% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 9% on average over the last four reported quarters.
RS — · 16/43 >200d (+2) · 7/43 lead (+0) · EPS 24/42↑
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 43 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Is Telecom Services outperforming S&P 500?
Telecom Services has underperformed S&P 500 by 4% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a shortfall of 10.9%. 4 of 21 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Iridium Communications Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +69%.
Sector metric: — as of latest available · unclassified · direction unavailable.
The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.
Bottom line
Telecom Services has underperformed S&P 500 by 4% over 52 weeks and 10.9% over 13 weeks. 4 of 21 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 7 of 21 beat the sector itself. BCE Inc. leads with revenue of $24,706 million, based on 7 of 21 comparable companies through Mar 2026.
4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
EchoStar Corporation has the strongest one-year price move in Telecom Services at +238.3%. Iridium Communications Inc. leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +54.9%. 4 of 21 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.
Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Telecom Services itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.
Revenue Scale & Growth Durability
BCE Inc. has the highest Revenue among the 21 Telecom Services companies compared here, at $24,706 million. EchoStar Corporation is next at $14,802 million. Millicom International Cellular S.A. has the highest Revenue growth at 13.1%, so level and change sit with different companies. 7 of 21 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: BCE Inc. is the scale leader at $24,706 million, 66.9% ahead of EchoStar Corporation. Millicom International Cellular S.A.'s growth is 13.1% from a $6,429 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.
Investor read: BCE Inc. is the scale benchmark; Millicom International Cellular S.A. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: BCE Inc.'s growth falls below Millicom International Cellular S.A.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Operating Economics & Margin Trend
Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc. has the highest OPM among the 21 Telecom Services companies compared here, at 309.1%. Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. is next at 47.6%. The same company also holds the highest Margin change, at +418.9 percentage points. 20 of 21 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc. leads both opm at 309.1% and margin change at +418.9 percentage points.
Investor read: Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

Profit Scale & Acceleration
BCE Inc. has the highest Net profit among the 21 Telecom Services companies compared here, at $6,498 million. Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. is next at $506 million. The same company also holds the highest Profit growth, at the 100% top of the scoring scale. 8 of 21 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: BCE Inc. leads with $6,498 million of TTM profit, 12.8× the profit of Telephone and Data Systems, Inc.. BCE Inc. shows ≥100% on the scoring scale (981.2% uncapped) growth from a $6,498 million profit base. Compare the size of the base and persistence before ranking acceleration above profit scale.
Investor read: BCE Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Return On Capital Employed
Kyivstar Group Ltd. has the highest ROCE among the 21 Telecom Services companies compared here, at 7.6%. VEON Ltd. is next at 5.9%. Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc. has the highest ROCE change at +2.7 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 21 of 21 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.
What the numbers say: Kyivstar Group Ltd. leads ROCE at 7.6%, 1.7 percentage points above VEON Ltd.. Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc. has the strongest latest improvement at +2.7 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.
Investor read: Kyivstar Group Ltd. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
BCE Inc. has the lowest PEG among the 21 Telecom Services companies compared here, at 0.15×. EchoStar Corporation has the lowest P/E at 2.22×, so level and change sit with different companies. 1 of 21 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: BCE Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.15×. Only 1 of 21 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.
Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

What can make this comparison misleading?
This Telecom Services comparison names 5 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 21 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 1 of the 5 ranked sections has fewer than three usable current readings. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
- A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
- A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
- The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
- An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
- Thin comparisons: Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.
How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 21 Telecom Services companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.
Telecom Services company comparison FAQs
These 22 answers restate the Telecom Services comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 21 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-08-04. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Is the Telecom Services sector outperforming S&P 500?
Telecom Services has underperformed S&P 500 by 4% over 52 weeks and 10.9% over 13 weeks. 4 of 21 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 7 of 21 beat the sector itself.
Which Telecom Services company is largest by revenue?
BCE Inc. leads with revenue of $24,706 million, based on 7 of 21 comparable companies through Mar 2026.
Which Telecom Services company is growing fastest?
Millicom International Cellular S.A. has the fastest current revenue growth at 13.1%, across 7 of 21 comparable companies.
Which Telecom Services company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?
BCE Inc. ranks first at 59.1/100 with 81.1% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.
Which Telecom Services company has the lowest comparable PEG?
BCE Inc. has the lowest comparable PEG at 0.15, among 1 of 21 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.
How much history does this Telecom Services comparison include?
The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.
How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?
The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.
Which Telecom Services company is the biggest?
BCE Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $24,706 million, ahead of EchoStar Corporation at $14,802 million. That covers 7 of 21 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Telecom Services company has the best profit margins?
Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc. has the highest operating margin at 309.1%, from 20 of 21 comparable companies. Array Digital Infrastructure, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +418.9 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Telecom Services company makes the most profit?
BCE Inc. earns the most, at $6,498 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 8 of 21 comparable companies. BCE Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Telecom Services company earns the highest return on capital?
Kyivstar Group Ltd. leads on return on capital employed at 7.6%, across 21 of 21 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Telecom Services stock is the cheapest?
On PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — BCE Inc. screens cheapest at 0.15×. Only 1 of 21 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Is the Telecom Services sector beating the market?
Telecom Services has underperformed S&P 500 by 4% over the last 52 weeks and 10.9% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 4 of 21 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Telecom Services stock has the strongest price momentum?
Iridium Communications Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Telecom Services company scores highest for research priority?
BCE Inc. scores 59.1 out of 100 with 81.1% evidence confidence, from 23.4 points on growth and earnings, 12 on capital efficiency, 15.7 on valuation and 8 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Telecom Services companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 21 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
What is the total market cap of the Telecom Services sector?
The 21 Telecom Services companies on this page carry $854,003 million of combined market value. Verizon Communications Inc. is the largest at $194,776 million, about 23% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-04.
What is the Telecom Services sector's P/E ratio?
The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 21 Telecom Services companies on this page is 10.2×, measured on the 20 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-08-04.
How is the Telecom Services sector performing?
4 of the 21 covered Telecom Services companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 4% behind S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-08-04.
How many Telecom Services stocks are listed in the US?
This comparison covers 21 listed Telecom Services companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
