The telecom giant’s stock is on fire, driven by explosive earnings, subscriber dominance, and strategic fiber expansion. With a 6.53% rally and $251.75 intraday high, T-Mobile is rewriting its growth narrative—and investors are taking notice.

Earnings Surge and Subscriber Growth Ignite T-Mobile's Rally
T-Mobile’s 6.53% price surge stems from a record-breaking Q2 performance: 1.7 million postpaid net adds (best-ever for a quarter), 9% postpaid revenue growth, and $3.2 billion net income—a 10% YoY jump. The 5G broadband segment added 454,000 customers, a 12% YoY increase, while third-party network awards (Ookla, Opensignal) reinforced its market leadership. Raising full-year guidance and securing $4.4 billion in fiber deals (Lumos, Metronet) further solidified investor confidence. This earnings-driven momentum, coupled with strategic expansion, fueled the intraday rally.
