On August 13, EchoStar rose 5.23% in regular trading, trading at $92.605/share, with turnover of $187 million.
On the news front, EchoStar reported Q2 GAAP EPS of $24.12, dramatically surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of a $0.48 loss per share, as net income reached $8.46 billion versus a $306 million net loss in the year-ago period. Revenue came in at $3.58 billion, down 3.9% year-over-year. Additionally, the company completed its $23 billion spectrum sale to AT&T on July 29, providing substantial cash inflows. Subsidiary Dish DBS fully repaid $2 billion in 7.75% senior notes that matured on July 1, significantly alleviating debt pressure. Meanwhile, subsidiary Hughes Satellite Systems is progressing through a prepackaged Chapter 11 restructuring to address $1.5 billion in debt obligations, further optimizing the consolidated balance sheet. AT&T subsequently selected Ericsson to supply radios for deploying the acquired EchoStar spectrum, confirming the strategic value of the transaction.
