Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. ## What is the Telephone and Data Systems share price today? Telephone and Data Systems, Inc.'s share price was $35.62 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been falling for 2 weeks. That is 9.8% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 2 weeks in a row. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $33 and $48, and at that close it sat 18% of the way up from that low. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +20% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Telephone and Data Systems pay? Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. paid $0.16 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.04 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $35.62 that is a yield of 0.45%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Telephone and Data Systems on? Telephone and Data Systems is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Telephone and Data Systems profitable? Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. earned $362 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter. That quarter includes a one-off gain bigger than its revenue, so the comparison with last year does not reflect normal business. Full-year FY25 profit was $27.5 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −38.2% a year on average. That is 116.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $14.5 M. 2 of the last 9 reported quarters were loss-making. Jun 2026 profit was $362 M, +2,392.1% on a year earlier. Read this profit with care: at $362 M it is bigger than the quarter's whole revenue of $309 M. No business earns more than it takes in from sales, so this is a one-off item (for example a debt settlement, a tax write-back or an asset sale), not money the business earned. The underlying business is running at a −6.6% operating margin. The jump on last year, and any P/E built on this profit, come from the one-off, not from a real turn in earnings. ## How much revenue does Telephone and Data Systems make, and is it growing? Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. reported $309 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +3.6% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 3rd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown −30.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.2 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.3 B. The quarterly figures for FY23 do not add up to the full-year total on file, so those quarters are left out of the charts and sums. FY25 revenue was $1.2 B, −5.3% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +4.1% on average, against −30.7% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. ## How much of every $100 of sales does Telephone and Data Systems keep? Telephone and Data Systems, Inc.'s operating margin was −6.6% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.6 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −9.8% and 5.3%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.6 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −1.0 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. ## Is Telephone and Data Systems' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 991% of Telephone and Data Systems, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $590 M of operating cash against $27.5 M of profit. After $391 M of spending on assets, $199 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Telephone and Data Systems' cash go? Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $1.4 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 38.0% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $1.4 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Telephone and Data Systems' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Telephone and Data Systems, Inc.'s P/E is 12.3×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 19% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 23.4×, over 4.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Telephone and Data Systems business getting better or worse? Telephone and Data Systems, Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 5 quarters of 1 measure, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. The latest quarter’s profit includes a one-off item bigger than the normal business, so the profit line is shown but does not count in this reading. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Telephone and Data Systems earn on its capital? Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. earned a ROE of 1% in FY25. That is up from a low of −8% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 6.4 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a 2.2% net margin and 0.15× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 2.2% net margin × 0.15× asset turnover × 1.59× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 0.5% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: −0.6% − 5.8% = −6.4 percentage points. The 5.8% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. ## Does Telephone and Data Systems have too much debt? Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. has total debt of $1.2 B against shareholder equity of $5.4 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.23× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.60 in FY21 to 0.27 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Telephone and Data Systems shareholding pattern? 0.0% of Telephone and Data Systems, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so very few traders are betting against this stock. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 0.0 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Telephone and Data Systems from balance-sheet trouble? For Telephone and Data Systems, Inc., the Z-score is 1.67. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 1.67 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Telephone and Data Systems rank in its industry? 42.6 out of 100, rank 16 of 21 in Telecom Services, with 64% of the evidence available. Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. scores 42.6 out of 100 against the 21 companies it is compared with in Telecom Services, ranking 16. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 16.8 + 4.9 + 9.9 + 11 = 42.6. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Telephone and Data Systems compared with? Telephone and Data Systems ranks 16 of 21 Telecom Services companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 42.6 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. 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 path the industry 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 growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
