Autoliv Posts Strong Sales, Joins United States Cellular, Netflix, Intuitive Surgical And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Friday

United States Cellular Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USM#NYSE">USM</a>) shares are trading higher on Friday after the company agreed to sell part of its retained spectrum licenses to Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41399651/uscellular-announces-sale-of-select-spectrum-assets-for-1-0-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">for $1.0 billion.</a>
In particular, the company agreed to sell 663 million MHz POPs of its Cellular (850 MHz) spectrum, along with 11 million MHz POPs of AWS and 19 million MHz POPs of PCS licenses, to Verizon.
The purchase price will be paid in cash, with possible adjustments as outlined in the agreement.
Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDS#NYSE">TDS</a>), as the 82% majority shareholder of US Cellular, has provided written consent approving the Verizon transaction.
Apart from this, the company has entered agreements with two other mobile network operators to sell other selected spectrum licenses.
United States Cellular plans to sell 12 million MHz POPs of its spectrum licenses in the CBRS, C-Band, and 700 MHz B/C Block bands to two other mobile network operators.
These deals are subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions, though the buyers and terms remain undisclosed.
After these transactions, US Cellular will retain 3.4 billion MHz POPs of low and mid-band spectrum (700 MHz, 3.45GHz, CBRS, and C-Band) and 17.2 billion MHz POPs of mmWave spectrum.
These transactions align with the company&#8217;s plan to monetize <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/05/39036795/t-mobiles-4-4b-us-cellular-and-tds-deal-promises-enhanced-rural-5g-coverage" rel="noreferrer noopener">spectrum not included in the proposed sale</a> to T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>).
Each of these transactions is contingent upon the successful closing of proposed sale to T-Mobile.
Notably, in May 2024, T-Mobile US agreed to acquire substantially all of&nbsp;the United States Cellular&nbsp;and&nbsp;TDS wireless operations, including wireless customers and stores, as well as certain specified spectrum assets for $4.4 billion in the transaction in a combination of cash and up to $2.0 billion of debt.
Verizon ended the first half of 2024 with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/39883078" rel="noreferrer noopener">free cash flow&nbsp;of&nbsp;$8.5 billion</a>.

Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>Essential Transaction Codes Unveiled</h3>
When it comes to transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

The acquisition of Bannockburn, Illinois-based Stericycle, which carries over $1 billion in debt, might be announced as early as Monday, according to a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/waste-management-near-deal-to-buy-stericycle-ed064421?mod=hp_lista_pos2" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>from the WSJ.
Stericycle's services would enhance Waste Management's capabilities, providing a stronger presence in the medical-waste-disposal sector, which saw increased demand during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Waste Management, based in Houston, operates the largest landfill network in North America with over 250 sites.
Currently, Waste Management's primary revenue comes from its collection operations, which handle solid waste and recyclables from residential and commercial clients, transporting them to various facilities. The company also operates a recycling unit, contributing about 8% to its total revenue by offering communities an alternative to landfill disposal, as per the report.
Stericycle focuses on the collection and disposal of hazardous medical waste and also operates a document shredding service known as Shred-It.

Stericycle&nbsp;is valued at approximately $4.8 billion. For Waste Management, with a market value close to $85 billion, the Stericycle acquisition represents a relatively small investment.
Stericycle&#8217;s stock has risen over 18% in the last 12 months.

Wells Fargo Upgrades United States Cellular to Overweight, Raises Price Target to $75

<ul>
<li>T-Mobile has agreed to acquire U.S. Cellular&#39;s wireless operations for $4.4 billion.</li>
<li>U.S. Cellular will retain about 70% of its spectrum portfolio.</li>
<li>The announcement of this acquisition has positively impacted T-Mobile&#39;s stock, which hit a new record high of $169.</li>
</ul>
T-Mobile Us Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tmus#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) is boosting its network by acquiring United States Cellular Corp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/usm#NYSE">USM</a>) wireless operations and much of its spectrum assets for $4.4 billion. This aims to improve T-Mobile&rsquo;s coverage and capacity, reflecting its dedication to better customer service across the U.S.
As part of the deal, T-Mobile will take over U.S. Cellular&rsquo;s wireless business and acquire much of its spectrum holdings, crucial for both current 4G and future 5G expansions. T-Mobile will also gain access to over 2,000 towers and extend leases on 600 more, significantly boosting its infrastructure and service reach.
The transaction involves a mix of cash payment and taking on up to $2 billion in U.S. Cellular debt. This balanced financial approach allows for potential adjustments based on performance targets to maintain value after the acquisition.
U.S. Cellular will retain about 70% of its spectrum portfolio, enabling it to serve its current customers and stay competitive. The acquisition is expected to close by mid-2025, pending regulatory approvals.
Amid these developments, T-Mobile&#39;s stock has reached a new record high of $169. This surpasses previous periods where the stock stayed in a consolidation phase, with support around $158 and resistance near $168.
<img alt="2024-05-30_15-23-39.jpg" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u517520/2024-05-30_15-23-39.jpg" style="height:309px; width:624px" />
The stock has climbed nearly 3% in May, leading to a 5% increase for the year. This is impressive considering it recovered from a 19% drop between November 2022 and June 2023, when it fell to $124.
Since then, the stock has risen by 35%, displaying strong market confidence. The announcement of this acquisition, along with the stock&#39;s solid performance, will likely attract more investor interest.
This increased attention could further boost T-Mobile&#39;s stock prices as the market anticipates the benefits of integrating U.S. Cellular&rsquo;s assets.
After the closing bell on Wednesday, May 29, the stock closed at $168.88, trading up by 0.94%.

HP Posts Upbeat Earnings, Joins Foot Locker, American Superconductor, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Thursday

Benchmark analyst Matthew Harrigan reiterated a Buy rating on T-Mobile US, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/tmus/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $200</a>.
On Tuesday, T-Mobile formally announced its anticipated United States Cellular Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USM#NYSE">USM</a>) transaction. It agreed to pay <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/05/39036795/t-mobiles-4-4b-us-cellular-and-tds-deal-promises-enhanced-rural-5g-coverage" rel="noreferrer noopener">~$4.4 billion for</a> 4.5 million retail mobile customers across 21 states and 30% of the much smaller carrier&#8217;s wireless spectrum.&nbsp;&nbsp;
USCellular would retain the entirety of its 2,100 towers (with T-Mobile leasing space for fifteen years) and interests in its Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VZ#NYSE">VZ</a>) joint ventures. T-Mobile would also extend its current leases on 600 towers.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Harrigan said the proposed deal is consistent with T-Mobile&#8217;s M&amp;A strategy, which is disciplined and modest in scale after the transformative Sprint transaction. It follows the recently closed $1.3 billion acquisition of value-entrant Mint Mobile.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The analyst stated that apart from T-Mobile exceeding soft spectrum caps in specific markets, predictable consumer unhappiness over primary MNO pricing will likely elicit election-year antitrust scrutiny from the Biden Administration.&nbsp;&nbsp;
As per Harrigan, an FCC or DOJ challenge to the proposed USCellular transaction does not even demand the aggressive horizontal M&amp;A strategies advanced by the DOJ&#8217;s Jonathan Kanter or even more extreme ambitions from FTC Chair Lina M. Khan.
According to the analyst, the proposed deal represents only about 2% of T-Mobile&#8217;s equity capitalization and deal approval risks and is immaterial to T-Mobile investment thesis.
The analyst expects T-Mobile to continue to benefit from the actuality and perception of its 5G leadership and share gains in smaller markets and enterprises.
Harrigan projected second-quarter revenue and EPS of $20.27 billion and $2.23.
Price Action: TMUS shares traded higher by 0.99% at $168.97 at the last check on Wednesday.
