T-Mobile US reported higher revenue but lower profit in its latest quarter as it continued to add subscribers for its most lucrative phone offering. The company added 962,000 net new postpaid phone subscribers, though that was slightly below analyst estimates. T-Mobile also saw growth in its 5G broadband and fiber customer bases.

Why it matters

T-Mobile's strong subscriber growth, particularly in its postpaid phone segment, demonstrates the company's ability to attract and retain customers in a competitive wireless market. The results also highlight the ongoing shift towards 5G and broadband services as consumers demand faster and more reliable connectivity.
