Citadel Securities initiates coverage on MetroPCS (NYSE: PCS) with a Neutral. PT $18.

Citadel analyst says, "In essence, we believe that the market will be increasingly "trifurcated" among low-end, mid-tier, and high-end subscribers. We believe that the national carriers – particularly AT&T (NYSE: T) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ) – will continue to focus an overwhelming amount of attention on the last group. However, we believe that given rapid declines in device prices (especially 3G smartphones), Leap (Nasdaq: LEAP) and, to a smaller degree, Metro, could be poised to gain share from the lower end of the postpaid market."
