After CNBC's David Faber reported that T-Mobile (TMUS) and Sprint (S) are in "active" talks about a possible merger, Drexel Hamilton analyst Barry Sine called Shenandoah Telecommunications (SHEN) potentially the "biggest winner" if such a deal comes to pass. If T-Mobile bought Sprint, it would have to decide whether to acquire Shenandoah at fair market value, shut down its network and retail stores in Shentel's area within two years or to sell the T-Mobile customers and network to Shentel at a discount, which Sine sees as the option the company would most likely choose given its integration challenges. The analyst, who foresees significant acceleration in Shenandoah's results in coming quarters even without a Sprint merger deal, keeps a Buy rating on the shares, which are up 1.5% in late morning trading.
