Check out which companies are making headlines before the bell:

T-Mobile — T-Mobile is close to agreeing to tentative terms on a deal to merge with its telecom peer, Sprint, Reuters reported on Friday.

A deal is expected by the end of October, according to the sources who spoke to Reuters.

Apple — Apple’s latest version of the iPhone, the iPhone 8, starts shipping on Friday.

Apple’s iPhone 8, the cheapest phone announced at the company’s event on Sept. 12, has a sticker price of $699, about $50 over the last generation of iPhones.

Facebook — Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Thursday that the social media company will share information with Congress about suspected Russian-linked election ads. Earlier this month, Facebook released results of an investigation into the 2016 U.S. election. The investigation found about $100,000 in ad spending from June 2015 to May 2017, associated with roughly 3,000 ads believed to be from Russian profiles. Zuckerberg has said he instructed his staff to provide those ads to Congress.

Conagra — Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn owner Conagra Brands is nearing a deal to buy Angie’s Artisan treats, the maker of Angie’s Boomchickapop popcorn. The potential deal comes as sales of big food companies have slowed, with their staples being replaced by fresher, healthier brands.

Hewlett Packard — Hewlett Packard Enterprise is planning to cut at least 5,000 workers, or about 10 percent of its staff, by the end of this year, according to reports.
