#2 Sprint Nextel

Ticker:?S

YTD stock performance:?143%

Market cap:?$16.7 billion

Fortune 500 rank:?90

????Sprint?(S,?Fortune 500)?has been losing subscribers to rivals?AT&T?(T,Fortune 500)and?Verizon?(VZ,Fortune 500)?for several years, but things are starting to look a little brighter for the nation's third-largest wireless carrier.

????Sprint finally began selling?Apple(AAPL,?Fortune 500)?iPhones at the end of 2011, a move that has helped the company improve its sales. Sprint shares got their first big boost in July, after the carrier reported an 8% bump in its wireless service revenue, as it sold nearly 1.5 million iPhones.

????The company's stock got a second solid bump after Sprint confirmed that it was negotiating to sell a controlling stake to Japanese tech giant?SoftBank. Within a few days, Sprint announced an agreement to sell a 70% stake to SoftBank in a deal worth more than $20 billion.

????The deal infuses Sprint with about $8 billion in much-needed capital, bolstering its ability to make acquisitions. And Sprint has already acted. In December, it made a bid to gain full control of Clearwire, in which it already has a 50.4% stake. Through the?Clearwire?(CLWR)?deal, Sprint would own the rights to the largest swath of wireless spectrum.
