Ticker symbols are at the choice of the company as long as it isn’t in use by another company. So when sprint was merged and they stopped trading under S whoever wanted to could grab S to use as their ticker symbol. Some are reserved by the trading exchange though like NYSE holding M and I in reserve in case Microsoft and Intel come to trade there.
