TDS stock extends its 52-week range after Q2 results
Published on 09/19/2026 at 10:42 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSTelephone and Data Systems, Inc. (US8794331075) closed at USD 18.95 on September 18, 2026, after trading in a USD 18.86 to USD 19.00 range and on volume of 13,616 shares. The stock has moved within a 52-week band of USD 17.60 to USD 20.88, while the company reports a market cap of USD 4.31 billion on Morningstar's September 11, 2026 data.
Q2 still sets the tone
According to Morningstar, Telephone and Data Systems reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 309.28 million and earnings of USD 281.06 million, with the quarter labeled FY26 Q2. That puts revenue and earnings in the same period and gives investors a current operating benchmark from the latest reported quarter.
Morningstar also lists TDS with revenue of USD 1.26 billion on a trailing basis, net income attributable to common shareholders of USD 467.42 million and diluted EPS of 0.89. The same page shows a profit margin of 33.20 percent and return on equity of 11.78 percent, which frames the stock's valuation backdrop.
Array exit remains relevant
According to Morningstar, Telephone and Data Systems announced on September 1, 2026 that it is no longer pursuing the acquisition of public shares of Array Digital Infrastructure. That development matters because Array is one of the company's two reportable segments and helps explain why investors are still sorting the balance between tower assets and the telecom business.
The shares also trade on a small daily range: USD 18.86 to USD 19.00 on September 18, 2026, after a previous close of USD 18.94. TDS has risen 5.54 percent year to date on Morningstar's September 18, 2026 performance data, but remains below the USD 20.88 top of its 52-week band.
Stock near the upper band
TDS stock closed at USD 18.95 on September 18, 2026, which leaves it 9.2 percent below the 52-week high of USD 20.88 and 7.7 percent above the 52-week low of USD 17.60. For investors, that keeps the recent Q2 figures and the Array decision in view rather than the broader market cycle.
