What is this Case About: Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (TDS) Misled Investors Regarding its Subsidiaries' Ability to Retain Customers

According to the complaint, United States Cellular (USCellular) operates as a majority-owned subsidiary of TDS. Throughout the class period, USCellular battled a systematic loss of "postpaid" customers. In response, defendants touted USCellular's purported ability to address postpaid customer "churn" and attrition via tailored promotions and purported expense discipline. Notwithstanding, USCellular's churn rate continued to worsen and the Company's promotional activity decimated its profitability.

On November 4, 2022, defendants reported operating results for the third quarter of 2022. Defendants' corrective disclosures revealed that not only was USCellular's heavy promotional activity still failing to correct postpaid churn rate, but that the “offer structure” and its lack of “expense discipline” had, in fact, substantially eroded the Company’s profitability. On this news, the price of TDS securities plummeted. TDS’ common stock price declined $4.29 per share (more than 25%), from a closing price of $16.57 per share on November 3, 2022, to a close of $12.28 on November 4, 2022. TDS’ preferred shares trading under the symbol TDS-PV declined $0.96 per preferred share (more than 5%), from a closing price of $17.20 per preferred share on November 3, 2022, to a close of $16.24 on November 4, 2022. TDS’ preferred shares trading under the symbol TDS-PU also declined $1.01 per preferred share (more than 5%) over the same period.
