Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Sprint Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Over the past six months, Sprint grew 32.9% while the Zacks-classified Wireless National industry gained 5.9%. We believe the efficient use of capital, reduction of cell sites, the elimination of dual networks, backhaul efficiencies, reduced churn, lower roaming charges and energy cost savings bode well for Sprint’s long-term growth. The upcoming launch of 5G technology, promotional plans, tilt toward IP-enabled cloud services, wireless expansion plans, network modernization and integration efforts and sale-leaseback transactions to pay-off its debt are sure to boost its customer base. On the flip side, high cash burn from promotional offers and discounts, debt-laden balance sheet and decreasing cash flow have led to losses for Sprint. Further, the company’s decision to skip the 600 MHz low-band airwaves auction will save cash for the company but will limit its scope for network upgrades." (4/5/2017)
• 2. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "Results were mixed, with financials beating on higher equipment, while handsets were softer given higher churn. Sprint continues to make progress on cost cutting while maintaining share of gross adds. FCF guidance was reiterated, as higher EBITDA and lower capex expectations were offset by MLS1 payments and working capital needs. In our view, Sprint remains overvalued on fundamentals, though supportive M&A commentary likely limits near-term downside risk." (2/1/2017)
