Telephone and Data Systems stock (ISIN US8794338298) closed at USD 35.13 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, while J.P. Morgan maintained a USD 48 price target. According to Markets Insider on October 1, 2026, analyst Sebastiano Petti reiterated a Buy rating for the shares.
J.P. Morgan sets USD 48 target
The target stands 36.6 percent above the October 5 closing price, giving the analyst view a clear valuation gap. The same report puts TDS's consensus rating at Moderate Buy and the average target at USD 47.50.
That target is 35.2 percent above the closing price. The comparison matters because the share price remains below the 52-week high of USD 49.12, despite sitting above the 52-week low of USD 31.51.
Q2 revenue reached USD 309.28 million
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, TDS reported revenue of USD 309.28 million and net profit of USD 298.37 million, according to Markets Insider. The report compared those figures with revenue of USD 1.19 billion and net profit of USD 12 million in the year-earlier period.
The year-over-year comparison needs careful reading because TDS completed the sale of UScellular's wireless operations and certain assets to T-Mobile in 2025. TDS Telecom is now the principal operating focus, making broadband expansion and capital allocation more important to the earnings picture.
Stock stays below its yearly high
The October 5 session covered USD 35.03 to USD 35.89, with volume of 2.12 million shares. Market capitalization stood at USD 4.04 billion on the same date, while the annual dividend was USD 0.16 per share.
For investors, the key tension is visible in the numbers: the consensus target of USD 47.50 implies substantial upside from the closing price, while the reported revenue comparison reflects the smaller post-UScellular business. TDS therefore combines a higher profit figure with a materially changed operating base.
Telephone and Data Systems stock remains below USD 36
Telephone and Data Systems stock closed at USD 35.13 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026. Its USD 31.51 to USD 49.12 52-week range places the share closer to the annual low than to the annual high.
