Margins, % of revenue
Margins, % of revenue

In plain words: Insiders are the people who run or own a big part of the company. Buying with their own money can signal confidence; selling often has personal reasons, like taxes or diversifying.
Can it carry its debts, and how well does it use its money?
Cash, debt and the ratios that show how comfortably T-Mobile US can carry it.
KIRA summarises the numbers
T-Mobile US owes $88.1B more than it holds in cash, about 2.8 years of operating profit.

| Net debt (β = net cash) | $73.5B | $75.1B | $76.0B | $79.3B | $88.1B |
In plain words: What the company owns and what it owes. More cash than debt is a cushion for bad times; a lot of debt leaves less room when business slows down.
After-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash.
KIRA summarises the numbers
Its return on capital was 9.8%: every 100 invested in the business earned about 10 in a year.
Return on capital, equity and assets (annual)

What does the share cost, and how does it compare?
What could happen to the share if things go badly, normally or very well? Pick a story or make your own. These are examples, not forecasts or price targets.

Share in 5 years

If you put in $1,000 today: $1,189
At 15x, earnings only need to grow 0.5% a year for the share to be worth todayβs price in 5 years. Faster, you gain; slower, you lose.
These are examples, not forecasts: nobody knows which will happen. Price in 5 years = earnings per share then Γ the P/E then. Dividends are not included.

In plain words: In the long run a share tends to follow two things: how much the company earns per share, and how many times those earnings the market is willing to pay (the P/E). Move those two levers and you see what the share could be worth. Different guesses give very different answers.
