The New York Times shares on Wednesday hit a 13-year high as the company sets a goal of hitting 10 million subscriptions by 2025.

The Times on Wednesday announced it gained 265,000 new digital subscriptions in the fourth quarter of 2018, even as President Trump continues to describe the newspaper as "failing."

The company had not seen that large of a gain since the months following the 2016 presidential election, referred to by The Times as the “Trump bump.”

The paper ended the year with 3.4 million digital subscriptions and 4.3 million total subscriptions.
