GameStop Corp. (GME), Dollar General Corp. (DG): Today’s 3 Best Stocks

Finally, wireless service provider Sprint Nextel Corporation (NYSE:S) jumped 2.4% after SoftBank and Sprint Nextel Corporation (NYSE:S) amended their merger agreement. In more direct terms, SoftBank upped its cash offer to Sprint shareholders when the deal is complete from $4.02 per share to $5.50 (an increase of $4.5 billion), which equates to a purchase price ranging from $7.30 to $7.65. SoftBank intends to fund the additional $4.5 billion through a reallocation of investment funds initially promised to Sprint. This move should all but seal merger talks between these two companies and push DISH Network Corp (NASDAQ:DISH)‘s competing bid to the back burner.
