BTIG upgrades Sprint rating based on valuation, potential iPhone 5 launch

BTIG upgrades Sprint rating based on valuation, potential iPhone 5 launch

In a note to investors on Tuesday, BTIG Research analyst Walter Piecyk raised his rating on Sprint stock from Sell to Neutral without indicating a new price target. Piecyk had previously set his price target at $3.13, but noted that the stock now trades under five times BTIG's 2012 earnings estimate, which is below consensus. The firm notes that it is not moving to a Buy rating because Sprint's stock may fall further still, due to uncertain earnings, high debt leverage, lack of free cash flow and a worrisome 4G strategy.
