United States Cellular Corp. Hits New 52-Week Low at $49.46

United States Cellular Corp., a small-cap player in the Telecom Equipment & Accessories industry, has reached a new 52-week low of USD 49.46 as of September 16, 2025. This decline marks a significant downturn for the company, which has seen its stock price decrease by 9.6% over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's performance of 17.58% during the same period.
The company's market capitalization stands at USD 4,533 million, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 54.00, indicating a premium valuation relative to its earnings. Additionally, United States Cellular Corp. boasts a high dividend yield of 43.27%, which may attract income-focused investors despite the stock's recent struggles.

Financial metrics reveal a return on equity of 2.35% and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.56, suggesting a moderate level of leverage. However, the company's return on capital employed (ROCE) is notably low at 2.05%, reflecting challenges in generating profitability from its capital investments. With operating profit declining at an annual rate of 3.66% over the last five years, the company faces hurdles in achieving long-term growth.
