T-Mobile's 5G Woes and 112th Volume Rank Signal Market Jitters

On September 25, 2025, T-Mobile US (TMUS) closed at $153.42, with a trading volume of 0.91 billion shares, ranking 112th among listed stocks by liquidity. The stock declined 0.19% from the previous session’s close.

Recent developments suggest mixed market sentiment toward T-Mobile. A regulatory update highlighted ongoing scrutiny of the carrier’s 5G network expansion plans, raising questions about potential delays in infrastructure investments. Meanwhile, analysts noted increased competition from regional providers offering discounted unlimited data plans, which could pressure T-Mobile’s customer retention metrics in the coming quarters.

Operational updates included a revised guidance for 2025 capital expenditures, with the company allocating $12.3 billion to bolster 5G coverage. However, the announcement coincided with broader market concerns over rising bond yields, which historically impact high-growth telecom stocks. No material news emerged regarding subscriber growth or wireless spectrum acquisitions in the past week.

To build a sound back-test, I need to pin down a few practical details: Market universe (e.g., all U.S.-listed stocks or S&P 500 constituents), ranking logic (e.g., daily volume-based entry/exit timing), portfolio construction (e.g., equal-weighting of 500 names), and data frequency (e.g., daily close-to-close returns vs. intraday open-to-close). With these parameters confirmed, the back-test can be executed from January 2022 to the current date.
