The stock prices of the three major U.S. telecommunications giants collectively plunged,SpaceX entering the mobile communications market triggered a shock
BlockBeats reported that,October 15, telecommunications stocks have long been regarded by investors as relatively safe investments, characterized by predictable growth, limited downside risk, and generous dividends. But SpaceX competition and rising U.S. Treasury yields are threatening this investment rationale.SpaceX(SPCX.O) announced last week that it had acquired a batch of wireless spectrum, enabling it to provide mobile communications services directly through Starlink satellites. This could make Musk's aerospace company a major mobile operator.
Following the announcement, the stock prices of Verizon Communications, AT&T, and U.S. T-Mobile all fell by double-digit percentages last Friday. John Conca, a telecommunications analyst at Third Bridge Group, said: "Competitive risks are emerging in an unprecedented manner. The market believes this may only be the beginning."
