EchoStar shares are trading higher after the WSJ reported DirecTV is near a deal to acquire the company's Dish and Sling businesses.

DirecTV and Dish Network are reportedly in advanced talks to merge, potentially creating the largest U.S. pay-TV provider, with around 20 million subscribers. If completed, the deal could be announced in the coming days, the Wall Street Journal reported.
According to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-26/directv-dish-are-said-close-to-clinching-merger-agreement" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bloomberg</a>, DirecTV, owned by AT&amp;T Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>) and TPG Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPG#NASDAQ">TPG</a>), will control the newly formed entity, though details are still under negotiation.
The two companies have been steadily losing customers, with viewers opting for cheaper, more flexible streaming services such as Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>).
A merger would help DirecTV and EchoStar Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SATS#NASDAQ">SATS</a>), Dish&#8217;s owner, better compete with streaming services while addressing Dish&#8217;s rising debt levels.
Charlie Ergen, co-founder of Dish, has long sought this combination, though regulatory concerns hindered previous merger attempts. However, shifting from traditional pay TV to streaming may change regulators&#8217; stance.
According to the WSJ report, DirecTV currently <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/directv-and-dish-near-deal-that-has-eluded-them-for-years-04238d00?mod=latest_headlines" rel="noreferrer noopener">serves</a> about 11 million customers, while Dish has 8 million, which is down significantly from its peak a decade ago.
The pay-TV industry has faced mounting challenges as viewers transition to streaming, with U.S. subscribers falling from 104 million in 2015 to less than 70 million in 2023. Both companies seek ways to cut costs and adapt to the rapidly evolving entertainment landscape.
A deal would also include Dish&#8217;s streaming brand, Sling TV, offering a broader range of services under the merged entity.
AT&amp;T previously spun off DirecTV in 2021, moving it into a joint venture with TPG. The telecom giant took a $15.5 billion impairment charge in 2020 to account for subscriber losses, while Dish has shifted focus to building a wireless network, accumulating debt in the process.
Regulatory hurdles remain a concern, particularly in rural areas where satellite TV has been a dominant service.
Price Action: At last check Friday, SATS stock was up 4.62% to $26.95&nbsp;during the premarket session. T stock was up 0.18% to $21.69.

<h3>Breaking Down EchoStar's Financial Performance</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Below industry benchmarks, the company's market capitalization reflects a smaller scale relative to peers. This could be attributed to factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.

As of 30 June, 2024, the company experienced a decline of approximately -9.27% in revenue growth, reflecting a decrease in top-line earnings. As compared to its peers, the revenue growth lags behind its industry peers. The company achieved a growth rate lower than the average among peers in Communication Services sector.
Net Margin: EchoStar's net margin is below industry averages, indicating potential challenges in maintaining strong profitability. With a net margin of -5.2%, the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): The company's ROE is below industry benchmarks, signaling potential difficulties in efficiently using equity capital. With an ROE of -1.04%, the company may need to address challenges in generating satisfactory returns for shareholders.

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates. This supplementary information provides further guidance for traders. It is crucial to recognize that, despite their specialization, analysts are human and can only provide forecasts based on their beliefs.

'Dish Network In Talks With Investors To Settle Lawsuit; Company Is Holding Confidential Talks With Some Creditors; Satellite Television Company Shuffled Assets In January' - Bloomberg News

EchoStar Corporation&#39;s (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sats#NASDAQ">SATS</a>) subsidiaries, Hughes Network Systems and Boost Mobile, jointly demonstrated optimized, multi-transport network management for the U.S. Navy. The demonstration, conducted earlier this year, evaluated remote network orchestration, wide area network (WAN) resiliency and secure Radio Access Network (RAN) sharing between standalone Private 5G networks at the U.S. Navy Air Station in Whidbey Island, WA, and a base in Hawaii.
The demo established that the EchoStar Private 5G ORAN network can sustain safe connectivity for devices and applications when users move from the naval base. This capability enables devices connected to the Whidbey Island NAS 5G network to securely access applications located at Whidbey Island, regardless of their location. This secure Internet access supports Navy missions that involve relocating users between bases.
Boost Mobile&#39;s advanced Open-RAN-based 5G networking technologies, designed for U.S.-wide public network deployment, laid the foundation for secure, standalone 5G networks at each base. Hughes also deployed its intelligent network orchestration capabilities, including Smart Network Edge mission-planning technology and Network Management System (NMS). Combined, these technologies ensured reliable communication even in &quot;contested and congested environments.&quot;
The network also facilitated Automated Primary Alternate Contingency Emergency (PACE) planning by harnessing Hughes&#39; NMS and SNE technologies, which dynamically use multiple transport paths to enhance situational awareness. These automation techniques optimize capacity, quality of service and resource allocation, accelerating changes and access to SATCOM resources. With command-in-the-loop capability, Hughes technology processes new service requests in under five seconds to address emerging threats and automatically distributes information across orchestrated paths. The NMS and SNE are essential for maintaining resilient communications through diverse transports, including geostationary equatorial orbit, medium-earth orbit, low-earth orbit and 5G systems.
Earlier this month, Hughes Network Systems LLC achieved a milestone of shipping more than 5,000 HL1120W electronically steerable antenna LEO terminals, underscoring its leadership in delivering top-tier, enterprise-class satellite terminals for the Eutelsat OneWeb LEO constellation.

JP Morgan Downgrades EchoStar to Underweight, Maintains Price Target to $12

After a blistering Thursday that saw the S&amp;P 500 close with its best session in nearly two years — up 2.3% — Wall Street&#8217;s price action turned sluggish on a Friday lacking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">market-moving economic events.</a>
By midday in New York, major indices were slightly positive or hovering around the flat line, signaling a slowdown in the bullish sentiment compared to the previous session.
Since the beginning of the week, the S&amp;P 500 is down 0.5%, with a few hours of trading left to determine whether the U.S. stock market can avoid closing in the red for the fourth consecutive week.
Meanwhile, there's a renewed demand for long-dated U.S. Treasury bonds, with yields declining by about 6 basis points on both the 10-year and 30-year notes. As a result, the popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) rallied 1%, snapping a three-session losing streak.
The dollar slightly weakened, slipping 0.5% against the Japanese yen after three consecutive days of gains.
Traders now see nearly equal odds of a 50-basis-point or a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September, according to the CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch tool.
In commodities, oil is up 0.7%, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude poised for its third consecutive session of gains.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) plunged 2% after rallying nearly 12%, marking its best-performing day since February 2022.

EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SATS#NASDAQ">SATS</a>) shares are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading lower on Friday.</a>
The company reported a second-quarter loss per share of 76 cents, which<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/n40281138/echostar-announces-financial-results-for-the-three-and-six-months-ended-june-30-2024" rel="noreferrer noopener"> missed the street view of 17 cents loss</a>. Quarterly revenues of $3.953 billion <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">missed the analyst consensus of $3.983 billion</a>.
Service revenue decreased to $3.742 billion from $4.088 billion a year ago. Net Pay-TV subscribers decreased approximately 104,000 in the second quarter, compared to 294,000 in the year-ago quarter.&nbsp;
The change in net Pay-TV subscriber losses resulted from SLING TV subscriber additions in the&nbsp;quarter&nbsp;compared to losses in the year-ago quarter and a decrease in net DISH TV subscriber losses due to a lower DISH TV churn rate, offset by lower gross new DISH TV subscriber&nbsp;activations.
The company closed the quarter with 8.07 million Pay-TV subscribers, including 6.07 million DISH TV subscribers and 2.00 million SLING TV subscribers.
&#8220;We directed efforts on aligning key business synergies and objectives, focusing on profitable customer acquisition and retention efforts, and making improvements in our go-to-market approach for Retail Wireless,&#8221; said&nbsp;Hamid Akhavan, president and CEO of EchoStar.

Retail Wireless net subscribers decreased by approximately 16,000 in the second quarter, compared to 188,000 in the year-ago quarter.&nbsp;
&#8220;We are in constructive discussions to address necessary financing, working to strengthen our consumer offerings and value propositions, enhancing our state-of-the-art Open RAN network, and driving profitability across the enterprise,&#8221; Akhavan added.
The company exited the quarter with cash <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">and equivalents worth $546.6 million.</a>

EchoStar Reports Q2 Loss; Pay-TV Subscribers Drop Sharply

EchoStar shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q2 financial results.

Sentiment continues to remain upbeat as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40157665/nasdaq-r2k-futures-tumble-over-4-vix-spikes-over-100-bitcoin-plunges-hard-as-global-sell-off-deepen">stocks look to close out a volatile week</a> on a positive note. The major index futures traded modestly higher in early trading, and given the absence of any major catalysts, the market could most likely consolidate its recent gains. Traders may dread to take huge positions ahead of next week&#8217;s inflation reports and retail sales data.
The CBOE Volatility Index, commonly called VIX, fell toward the 23 level, extending its slide from Thursday. The yen has strengthened slightly against the greenback, potentially stirring anxiety among traders. Bond yields are flatlining, while the rest of global markets have fed off the strength of Wall Street.

Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks turned in a stellar performance on Thursday, as a report showing a bigger-than-expected decline in jobless claims, some positive earnings reports and the yen&#8217;s weakness set in motion a wave of buying in beaten-down stocks. The jobless claims data mitigated concerns regarding the weakening of the labor market and in turn, allayed recession worries.
The averages opened higher, moved roughly sideways and took a leg-up in the afternoon before moving sideways yet again. The S&amp;P 500 had the best outing since Nov. 30, 2022, in terms of the percentage of gains, according to Marketwatch.
The buying was across the board, with IT stocks spearheading the advance.

<figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> Insights From Analysts: Fund manager Louis Navellier expects the volatility to persist in August. The month is marked by &#8220;gyrations&#8221; and &#8220;air pockets,&#8221; he said, adding that this is attributable to &#8220;many Wall Street pros, plus Europe&#8221; being on vacation. &#8220;Low trading volume in August provides fertile ground for wild market gyrations like Monday's,&#8221; Navellier said. &#8220;So I am expecting this down, up, down market action to persist until the trading volume is exhausted,&#8221; he added. David Sadkin, President at Bel Air Investment Advisors, said the markets appear to be entering into a correction phase, with the much-loved tech sector leading the way. The strategist is sanguine, as he pointed to the economy, which while slowing, is continuing to expand, the better-than-expected European GDP growth and robust earnings growth. He expects the market to end higher by year-end. If the economy does slow, the Fed has leeway to cut rates and boost liquidity by other means to cushion any potential downside, Sadkin said. &#8220;Also, as we get more clarity on the geopolitical and the US political landscape, the market will likely settle down and continue its upward trajectory,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Long-term investors will weather a slowdown by remaining dispassionate and focusing on fundamentals rather than market panic.&#8221; Upcoming Economic Data: There are no major economic data/events scheduled for the day.
