The Biggest Winners If T-Mobile and Sprint Merge
T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) and Sprint (NYSE: S) are reportedly close to agreeing on terms to merge their respective companies into one entity. The third- and fourth-place carriers have held discussions in the past, but they abandoned talks as the political environment made it unlikely a merger agreement would get approval from the FCC. Reuters reports the two companies are now close to finalizing an agreement, and it could come as soon as this month.
The combined company would have roughly 130 million subscribers, which is barely less than AT&T (NYSE: T) (135 million) or Verizon (NYSE: VZ) (146 million). While investors in the two telecom giants may be scared of what T-Mobile CEO John Legere could do with a subscriber base that large, they may actually be some of the biggest beneficiaries of T-Mobile-Sprint merger.
