Sprint Nextel Corp (S)

CAPS Rating:
**

A global communications company offering a range of wireless and wireline communications products and services that are designed to meet the needs of individual consumers, businesses and government customers.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

There is so much negativity built into Sprint that you just can't push it down much more. It is a given that Sprint has had a lot of bad press caused by customer care issues and misconceptions on the merger of Sprint and Nextel, and this has given rise to Sprint's poor image and customer defections....More

Build out of a costly Wifi network? They're going to get who to pay for it? If management is smart they'll sell this dog.

Sprint can't go down much lower. The WiMax is a plus for Sprint. I think they will do much better once they can show it's going to work. AT&T & Verizon are creating something similar, so it shows it can work. I think they're nervous that Sprint will pull out ahead of them.

Their customer service is terrible. They are a slow moving company that has trouble keeping their policies in line with the current market environment.

Possible merger or buyout would benefit them.

I think this stock is going to fall, as more and more people move away from Sprint products and mobile phone plans. Even the merger with clearwire probably won't save this company.
