T-Mobile

T-Mobile US Inc. (NASDAQ: TMUS) posted its 52-week high in early November, just a few days after releasing its third-quarter results. That was also the stock’s all-time high. Since then, the stock has retreated about 1.5%.

The mobile carrier introduced new subscriber plans last week that appear to offer limited improvements over customers’ current choices. Could that indicate that T-Mobile has little left up its sleeve to keep growth on track?
