Telecom companies such as Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile are among the top dividend payers in the U.S.
Earlier this month, AT&T said it plans to return more than $40 billion to shareholders over the next three years through dividends and share repurchases.
T-Mobile's latest shareholder return program is in addition to the $19 billion announced in September 2023, running through Dec. 31 this year.
The company on Friday also reiterated that it would allocate about $80 billion in investments and capital returns through 2027.
T-Mobile, one of the top three wireless carriers in the U.S., has attracted subscribers in a saturated telecom market through its high-speed 5G plans that offer streaming perks.
The company expects adjusted free cash flow, a metric that helps determine dividend payouts, to be between $18 billion and $19 billion in 2027.
