MetroPCS has reached decade low prices. It already reached the March 2009 lows being at $5 currently. If you take a look at its earnings, they have continued to bring in profit quarter after quarter. The Super Bowl ad shows it’s pricing power – for $40 you get unlimited phone minutes, text, and web access. AT&T is the only closest competitor at $70. We’re at a recession right now and it’s surprising to see their stock price keep dropping even though they keep bringing in more subscribers.
Investors are selling because they believe Verizon and AT&T have the edge with the biggest network. However, I seriously doubt they would drop their prices to MetroPCS’s prices. Their profit margin would be seriously cut if they did. MetroPCS has a big niche. It markets to urban cities and it markets a very competitive price and it remains profitable. I think the current price of $5.88 is a bargain. There’s a lot more reward vs risk in this stock.
