Better Buy: CenturyLink, Inc. vs. T-Mobile
These are turbulent times for the telecommunications industry. There's cutthroat competition among the leading wireless carriers, and the outlook is even murkier for the regional telcos trying to hold on to the thinning ranks of landline customers as they branch out into internet and other related home and business services.
This week we're pitting T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) and CenturyLink (NYSE: CTL) against each other. These aren't the top dogs of telco, but they're not necessarily small fries. T-Mobile is the country's third-largest wireless carrier, commanding an enterprise value north of $82 billion. CenturyLink is a leading local telecom provider, commanding an enterprise value of nearly $36 billion.
