Shares continued to trade above the $25 mark on Friday. Investors seemed most energized by the company’s strong customer growth. The 1.1 million net new customers included 688,000 contract customers, compared with the 557,000 post-paid customers it lost during the same time a year ago. That brings T-Mobile’s total customer base to 44 million.
