  • Analyst Report: United States Cellular Corporation

    US Cellular is a regional wireless carrier that serves about 4.5 million customers spread across four major geographic clusters: the Midwest, mid-Atlantic, New England, and the Pacific Northwest. These service territories encompass a total population of about 32 million people. The vast majority of the markets the firm serves are rural or second/third-tier cities, with only the greater Milwaukee and Oklahoma City regions boasting populations greater than 1 million. US Cellular also owns a 5.5% stake in Verizon Wireless’ Los Angeles operations and, unlike its wireless carrier peers, owns most of its own towers. The firm has agreed to sell its wireless operations and 30% of its wireless spectrum licenses to T-Mobile, a transaction that it expects to close in mid-2025.
