Shares have formed a bullish "flag" on market rumors that Sprint (S) and TMUS are in talks to merge. The biggest onstacle has been majority owner of Sprint, Softbank, has been asking a premium for Sprint. Recently, it appears that Softbank has softened its position! In fact this is what an analyst said about the such merger.

A merger between T-Mobile (TMUS) and Sprint (S) would make for a much stronger number three player in wireless and bring "massive" synergies, but regulatory approval, while not out of the question, remains uncertain, Jefferies analyst Mike McCormack tells investors in a research note. The analyst's initial pro forma analysis, which assumes an all-stock transaction at current market prices and synergies ramping to a $4.5B run rate in year three, suggests T-Mobile could be worth more than $90 per share in a deal scenario, or 43% above the current price.
