Despite global uncertainties, investor confidence remained robust. The strategy's success can be attributed to its investments in AI infrastructure and physical infrastructure supporting AI growth.

While acknowledging T-Mobile US's potential, the strategy experts believe AI stocks present more upside and lower risk. T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ:TMUS) experienced a 4.90% decline over the past month, but its stock has dropped 27.84% over the past year. The company's market cap stands at $184.95 billion, with shares trading between $165.66 and $242.37 in the past 52 weeks.
