It's Monday, April 30th.

This is Markin Fullry.

I'm Chris Hill joining me in studio for Motley Fool Asset Management, Bill Barker.

Happy merger Monday.

Oh, thank you.

I like it when Wall Street tropes live up to their name.

I like when Merger Monday happens.

It makes it a little easier to decide what we're going to talk about.

Yeah, well, there's a long weekend, it wasn't a long weekend this weekend, but it's long enough

to everybody to get the lawyers together and iron out some details while the market's closed.

So yeah, you'll see more of this.

It's been a lot of mergers this year.

We're going to talk about McDonald's and their latest quarter.

And yes, we will get to the weekend box office which was record-breaking but

we have to start with T-Mobile and Sprint. T-Mobile buying Sprint for 26 billion

dollars in stock it's an all-stock deal. The combined company is going to stick with

the T-Mobile name and more importantly for entertainment purposes, John Ledger, the CEO of

T-Mobile, will remain as CEO of this new entity.

This new entity, I say that as though it's a done deal, and yet when you look at what's happening

to shares of both T-Mobile and Sprint, both of which are down right now,

for all the temptation to say, hey, the third time's a charm, they're actually going to make this work.

Right now, Wall Street is acting as though this deal is not going to happen.
