• EchoStar (NasdaqGS:SATS) has received FCC approval for major spectrum sales to SpaceX and AT&T.

• Completion of these deals coincides with SpaceX’s historic IPO, which now directly influences EchoStar’s asset mix and valuation drivers.

EchoStar’s stock, NasdaqGS:SATS, closed at $114.08, with very large gains over the past year and past three years, and a strong move over five years. More recently, the shares are down 1.9% over the past week and down 16.9% over the past month, while still up 1.7% year to date, underscoring how quickly sentiment can swing around big corporate changes.

The newly confirmed spectrum deals and exposure to a freshly listed SpaceX give EchoStar a different risk and opportunity profile than it had even a few months ago. As you assess the stock, the key questions now center on how management deploys cash from asset sales, how it handles debt, and how it communicates the role of the SpaceX stake in the overall investment story.
