Sprint says earnings will miss forecasts

Article Abstract:

Sprint Corp. warned of weaker third-quarter earnings, sending its stock down 5.4% on the news.

Sprint was also hurt by cutting off more delinquent customers than usual. Investors are becoming anxious about the health of the wireless industry. Sprint predicts its core business will have 45 to 47 cents a share.
