T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:TMUS) Inc. announced on Thursday a $14 billion share repurchase program that would run through September of next year in an effort to reward shareholders for outperforming competitors.


In after-hours trading, its shares rose 2.8% to $149.47. Compared to rivals AT&T (NYSE:T) and Verizon (NYSE:VZ20.5%), the stock has risen by 25.3% so far this year, while both have fallen by 9.7%.


T-free Mobile's cash flow is expected to increase in the next years, according to industry analysts, as expenses related to the acquisition of rival Sprint Corp decline and more customers sign up for the telecom company's 5G networks at competitive prices.


The announcement of the repurchase comes one day after T-Mobile announced the sale of its landline business to Cogent Communications Holdings Inc in order to concentrate more on 5G.


The company intends to fund the repurchases with cash on hand and revenues from one or more loan offerings or other borrowings.


T-Mobile management stated during last year's investor day that the company anticipated free cash flow growth to finance $60 billion in stock buybacks between 2023 and 2025.
