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>.
Price Action: USM shares are up 11.9% at $65.71 at the last check Friday.

TDS Telecommunications LLC (TDS&#xAE;) has entered into a purchase agreement with Poka Lambro Telecommunications, Ltd. and Nevill Holdings, Inc. to transfer ownership of its cable operations in Texas. The joint agreement includes the transfer of TDS' cable properties in Seminole, Seagraves, and Denver City to Poka Lambro and the cable properties in Alpine and Fort Stockton to Nevill Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Big Bend Telephone Company and Big Bend Telecom Ltd. (BBT). The agreement was signed Monday and is expected to close within the fourth quarter of 2024.
&nbsp;
Poka Lambro was founded in 1950 to provide telephone service to rural farms and ranches. Today, the company serves 4,000 square miles of the south plains of Texas with fiber-to-the-premise facilities and is the premier provider of broadband internet and telecommunications services in a region that boasts thriving residential communities and a robust business climate driven by agribusiness and energy production.

It offers high-speed fiber internet, voice, and data center solutions to residents, institutions, and businesses. The company's mission is to bridge the digital divide and continually invest in innovative solutions to make the digital world more accessible to rural areas across West Texas.
TDS, a Madison, Wisconsin-based company, has been doing business in Texas since 2013 when it acquired Baja Broadband, LLC who had been providing cable TV, voice, and internet service in Texas since 2005.
Eight local TDS Field Service associates will also transfer to the companies as part of the agreement.
