Metro PCS Communications (PCS) is a wireless telecommunications provider. The company offers wireless broadband mobile services under the MetroPCS brand in selected metropolitan areas in the U.S. over its own licensed networks or the networks of affiliates.
PCS provides a variety of wireless communications services to its subscribers without long-term contracts, but with paid-in-advance, flat-rate, unlimited usage plans that include all applicable taxes and regulatory fees in the monthly price. PCS’s unique plans are sold at a low monthly fee and are attracting many new customers at the expense of larger providers. The company has eight million subscribers.
Metro PCS’s aggressive marketing of flat-rate wireless plans with unlimited usage is winning new customers at a rapid rate. I forecast 24% EPS growth for the next five years or longer. At 17.2 times earnings, PCS shares are undervalued.
