Collins Stewart downgraded Sprint (NYSE: S) from Buy to Hold, price target cut from $5 to $3.

Collins analyst says, "After upgrading the stock only two months ago, we are returning to a Neutral rating after the details of the Network Vision plan call for substantially higher cap-ex, lower wireless service margins and significantly higher cash consumption while at the same time effectively abandoning a 4G platform it had touted for years as an industry leader. We no longer look for margins to rebound sooner with higher spending."
