Verizon's New 3-Year Price Lock, Free Phone Offer: Strategic Move To Boost Customer Retention

Top U.S. technology multinationals, which have been the biggest beneficiaries of globalization, come to the fore as tariffs could heavily impact the cost of the goods sold by these firms.
What Happened: The data shared by Gina Martin Adams, the chief equity strategist and global director of equity strategy at Bloomberg Intelligence, shows the top tech companies in the U.S. that are likely to be impacted by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted">tariffs announced</a> by President Donald Trump on Wednesday.
These firms &#8220;may suffer the most as tariffs spark trade turmoil and threaten the long-expanding margin domination of American companies,&#8221; explains Adams.
The graphic shared by her shows that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/04/44620411/mark-zuckerberg-led-meta-set-to-face-truth-at-senate-hearing-over-china-operations-and-communist-party-censorship-efforts">Mark Zuckerberg</a>&#8216;s Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) spends less than 10% of the total amount required for them to produce their products and services in the U.S., making it the most vulnerable to tariffs.
The top 10 firms also include Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and AT&amp;T Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>).
Adams says that these firms could face more challenges in the wake of retaliation by other countries, further influencing the global supply chain. &#8220;White House tariffs may only be the start, as retaliations further strain global supply chains,&#8221; she adds.

Why It Matters: According to Adams, &#8220;Contrary to popular belief, mega-cap U.S. tech may be at considerable risk, with extremely high valuations and assumptions that margin moats will remain intact.
Companies with high facilities exposure and elevated cost of goods sold outside the U.S. face the greatest direct threats in the short run, while those with elevated revenue exposure are not immune.&#8221;
However, she adds, &#8220;Non-domestic stocks and defensive U.S. sectors may provide some haven as U.S. companies adjust to the new regime.&#8221;
Wedbush&#8217;s Daniel Ives adds that &#8220;Negotiations the only option at this point for White House.&#8221;

Meta, AMD, Apple, AT&T Among Biggest US Tech Giants That 'May Suffer The Most' As Tariffs Spark Trade Turmoil: Here's Why

The reported rivalry between Tim Cook&#8216;s Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Elon Musk&#8216;s SpaceX is heating up over satellite technology designed to eliminate cellphone dead zones.
What Happened: Apple is pouring significant resources into satellite-based communications, while SpaceX has already launched over 550 satellites for its Starlink service. According to a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/apple-elon-musk-satellite-cell-phone-services-ed2d2730">report</a> by The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, both companies are vying for limited spectrum rights to transmit their signals, leading to increased tensions. Apple&#8217;s satellite investments have reportedly irked Musk, leading SpaceX to lobby regulators to delay an Apple-backed satellite expansion.
Apple, SpaceX did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
The conflict escalated when SpaceX and its partner, T-Mobile (NYSE: TMUS, approached Apple for collaboration to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43294364/apple-surprises-iphone-users-by-teaming-up-with-spacex-and-t-mobile-to-bring-starlink-satellite-texting-heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-feature">bring Starlink to iPhones</a>. After intense negotiations, an agreement was reached allowing&nbsp;the SpaceX and T-Mobile satellite&nbsp;cellphone service to appear on newer iPhones. Notably, Apple will maintain strict control over the iPhone&#8217;s mostly closed software ecosystem.
Last year, the tech giant invested more than $1 billion in satellite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44111677/apple-partner-globalstar-teams-up-with-gct-semiconductor-to-power-satellite-messaging-with-iot-chips">operator Globalstar</a>, which powers Apple&#8217;s built-in satellite connectivity feature for iPhones. This&nbsp;service allows users to send&nbsp;text messages and call for emergency assistance in areas without traditional cellphone service.

However, SpaceX recently urged the Federal Communications Commission to reject Globalstar&#8217;s application for permission to utilize specific spectrum for Apple&#8217;s new satellite network.
Why It Matters: The ongoing rivalry between Apple and SpaceX underscores the growing significance of satellite technology in the telecommunications industry. 
Elon Musk and Apple are in a feud over satellite services, as both companies see potential benefits from greater connectivity in remote areas—boosting iPhone sales for Apple and Starlink adoption for SpaceX. While they have discussed linking iPhones with SpaceX satellites, no deal has materialized. 
Their rivalry extends beyond satellites, including past competition for driverless car talent and tensions over Apple's control of app distribution and advertising on X. Musk has even considered creating his own smartphone out of frustration with Apple's control over third-party apps.

Tim Cook's Apple And Elon Musk's SpaceX Engage In A Heated Battle Over Satellite Tech And App Control: Report

In the current session, the stock is trading at $265.21, after a 0.11% increase. Over the past month, T-Mobile US Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) stock increased by 0.12%, and in the past year, by 63.48%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743440418_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>T-Mobile US P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 23.28 in the Wireless Telecommunication Services industry, T-Mobile US Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 27.43. Shareholders might be inclined to think that T-Mobile US Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743440418_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

The company reportedly plans to reduce its monthly autopay discount for some customers.
Starting April 24, customers enrolled in the autopay and paperless billing program using eligible debit cards will see a reduction in their discount from $10 to $5, USA Today <a target="_blank" href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/03/27/att-autopay-discounts-cuts-save/82689187007/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Additionally, those enrolled with any non-AT&amp;T Points Plus credit card will no longer receive the discount.
Meanwhile, customers using a bank account for autopay will continue to receive the $10 discount on eligible internet plans and a $10 discount per phone line for eligible wireless plans.
This move follows similar actions by AT&amp;T's competitors, T-Mobile US, Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc., signaling a broader industry trend.

The future of telecommunications is now and investors are paying attention. With NVIDIA&#8217;s recent foray into AI-native 6G networks, the world is changing fast and there are huge opportunities for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">telecom, AI, and semiconductor ETFs</a>.
Defiance ETFs CEO Sylvia Jablonski thinks this revolution is only just starting. &#8220;Telecom companies that want to stay competitive will need to invest in AI-powered networks, partner with AI tech leaders and upgrade to cutting-edge semiconductor technology. That's exactly why we built the Defiance Connective Technologies ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIXG#NASDAQ">SIXG</a>) to capture this AI-driven telecom revolution,&#8221; she told Benzinga.
Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) new <a href="https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-and-telecom-industry-leaders-to-develop-ai-native-wireless-networks-for-6g">deals </a>with T-Mobile Us Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>), MITRE, Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), ODC, and Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>) that were announced in the GTC 2025 are a significant step forward in AI-powered telecommunications. Nvidia is taking the lead in the deployment of AI in wireless network hardware, software and infrastructure, paving the way for new-gen connectivity.
For investors, this transition offers attractive opportunities. The need for AI-driven networking chips, cloud computing infrastructure, telecom software and cybersecurity is likely going to boom. Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>), Amazon.com Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS, Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Cloud, Oracle Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>), Cisco Systems, Ericsson and Nokia Oyj (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOK#NYSE">NOK</a>) are likely to gain. Naturally, ETFs holding stocks of these companies are seeing an upside potential, too.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs That Stand To Gain</h1>
Jablonski points out that ETFs such as Defiance Connective Technologies provide exposure to these leaders, enabling investors to be part of the revolution in telecom networks.
Outside of that ETF, a number of other ETFs stand to gain from Nvidia&#8217;s and the telecom sector&#8217;s AI-led transformation:
• Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>) targets AI-led innovation across sectors, such as cloud computing and telecommunications. 
• VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) contains top semiconductor players such as Nvidia, Broadcom and Qualcomm that form the backbone of AI-driven networking. 
• iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYZ#BATS">IYZ</a>) offers exposure to large telecom companies such as Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) and T-Mobile. 
• ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>) contains firms utilizing AI-based connectivity for automation and future mobility. 
• First Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIBR#NASDAQ">CIBR</a>) also covers cybersecurity companies such as Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) and CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>), which will be instrumental in protecting <a href="https://www.crowdstrike.com/platform/">AI-native</a> 6G <a href="https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/blog/2024/11/a-security-first-approach-to-6g/#:~:text=Next%20Steps,development%20and%20deployment%20of%206G.">networks</a>.
The actual impact of AI-enabled 6G is much greater than the telecommunications sector. From health and finance to manufacturing and self-driving cars, AI-enhanced networks will bring efficiency, security and performance to many different industries. 
Jablonski noted, &#8220;AI-integrated telecom networks will boost productivity and connectivity across several industries: healthcare – enabling remote surgeries, real-time diagnostics and telemedicine; finance, strengthening cybersecurity for transactions and real-time market analysis; manufacturing, enhancing automation and predictive maintenance and autonomous vehicles, powering AI-native Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication.&#8221;
The financial benefit won&#8217;t directly touch consumers&#8217; wallets. &#8220;In the short term, telecom companies will likely use AI-driven efficiency to increase their profits as they recover infrastructure investment costs. Over time, as AI optimizes network operations, consumers could see more competitive pricing and improved services — similar to how cloud services have evolved.&#8221; 
In the long run, with AI optimizing network operations, customers may experience more competitive rates and better services.
But, AI-driven networks may create a divide between telecom and tech giants. &#8220;Companies like AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure are expanding into telecom with AI-driven cloud services. Traditional telecom providers that fail to adapt may struggle to compete with these tech-driven companies,&#8221; she noted.
Nvidia&#8217;s AI-native 6G project is a game-changer and the investment environment is changing rapidly. With partnerships that range from telecom behemoths to cloud and cybersecurity companies, the argument for ETFs such as Defiance Connective Technologies ETF and Defiance Quantum ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QTUM#NASDAQ">QTUM</a>) has never been more compelling. As AI-powered networks redefine connectivity, investors can seize the opportunity to ride the future of telecommunications technology.

NVIDIA today unveiled partnerships with industry leaders T-Mobile, MITRE, Cisco, ODC, a portfolio company of Cerberus Capital Management, and Booz Allen Hamilton on the research and development of AI-native wireless network hardware, software and architecture for 6G.
Next-generation wireless networks must be fundamentally integrated with AI to seamlessly connect hundreds of billions of phones, sensors, cameras, robots and autonomous vehicles. AI-native wireless networks will provide enhanced services for billions of users and set new standards in spectral efficiency — the rate at which data can be transmitted over a given bandwidth. They will also offer groundbreaking performance and resource utilization while creating new revenue streams for telecommunications companies.
