Why BUY: Barron's: T-Mobile has ~400 MHz of spectrum to SpaceX's 80 and trades at ~12.5x forward earnings, a decade low.
⚠ It fell 7.7% Friday; if SpaceX lands cell-site deals faster than Citi's 'years away' estimate, the multiple can compress more.

Why BUY: Melius rates NextEra a Buy ($100) as the best-placed utility for AI data-center power demand, with Dominion joining.
