Market Focus
Sep 08

On September 8, EchoStar rose 5.12% in regular trading, trading at $94.395/share, with turnover of $128 million.

On the news front, UBS upgraded EchoStar from Neutral to Buy and raised its price target from $127 to $150, implying approximately 59% upside from the current stock price. The upgrade follows a series of bullish analyst calls, with Deutsche Bank and New Street Research also maintaining Buy ratings, while FactSet consensus shows an average overweight rating with a mean price target of $130.50.

On the fundamentals side, EchoStar reported Q2 net income of $8.46 billion, swinging from a net loss of $306 million a year earlier, primarily driven by non-cash item adjustments. However, total revenue declined approximately 3.9% year-over-year to $3.58 billion, and adjusted EPS of $0.14 significantly missed the consensus estimate. Notably, subsidiary Hughes Satellite Systems filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in early August, while the company completed a $23 billion spectrum sale to AT&T and fully repaid $2 billion in senior notes through Dish DBS.
