The stock’s focus remains steady: customer growth, pricing, margins, and cash generation. Traders want to see if the major carriers are holding firm on promotions and keeping spending aligned with cash returns.

The calendar is loaded: the Fed’s decision lands on Jan. 28, AT&T reports earnings that same morning, followed by Verizon on Jan. 30. T-Mobile’s update arrives on Feb. 11. 8
