EchoStar provides satellite technology, services, and connectivity. It builds, owns, and operates satellite assets and related ground networks to deliver video, data, and communications services. Its products include satellite-based television distribution and broadband/connectivity solutions for underserved areas, supported by satellites, ground stations, and managed services. The company differentiates itself through vertical integration of its satellite fleet and technology with service delivery, a history of a split between technology/wholesale operations and consumer Dish Network, and a recent unification with Dish Network to combine satellite technology with consumer satellite TV. The goal is to extend reliable satellite-based connectivity and communications to distant or underserved regions, helping people access TV, internet, and data services where traditional networks are limited.

↑ 44%EchoStar reported $8.46 billion in net income for the second quarter, but the figure was driven primarily by a $9.73 billion non-cash deconsolidation gain from business restructuring. The company's core operations continue to struggle, losing 118,000 retail wireless subscribers and 241,000 pay-TV users during the period. Meanwhile, AT&T posted revenues of $31.56 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.65, beating analyst estimates of $0.59. The company generated $4.67 billion in quarterly free cash flow whilst serving over 70 million postpaid phone users. Hedge fund holdings in EchoStar increased from 90 to 102 between Q4 and Q1, though short interest stands at 23.33% of float. AT&T saw hedge fund holders decline from 77 to 72, with minimal short interest at 1.57%.
AT&T completed its $23 billion acquisition of wireless spectrum licenses from EchoStar on 28 July, a deal first announced in August 2025. The transaction adds roughly 50 MHz of low-band and mid-band spectrum covering more than 400 markets across the US. The newly acquired spectrum includes 30 MHz of nationwide 3.45 GHz mid-band and 20 MHz of nationwide 600 MHz low-band, designed to boost 5G capacity and download speeds. AT&T also extended its wholesale network partnership with EchoStar, which will continue operating under the Boost Mobile brand. Second-quarter revenue rose 2% to $31.6 billion, with diluted earnings per share climbing to $0.66 from $0.62 year-on-year. The stock has climbed 18% since early July after falling more than 12% following SpaceX's public trading debut in June.
SpaceX plans to build a terrestrial mobile service using spectrum acquired from EchoStar, aiming to compete with major US carriers. President Gwynne Shotwell said the company will create a "true mobile service" using lower-cost base stations paired with Starlink dishes rather than traditional cell towers. SpaceX agreed to pay $19.6 billion for 65 MHz of wireless spectrum licenses from EchoStar in 2025. The company plans to launch next-generation Starlink Mobile satellites in 2027, with upgraded service targeted for late that year. Analysts expressed scepticism about SpaceX's ability to compete without an MVNO agreement, noting its 65 MHz spectrum is small compared to what major carriers own. Shares of AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon fell 2 to 4 percent following the announcement.
EchoStar reported Q2 2026 revenue of $3.58 billion and net income of $8.46 billion, beating analyst expectations. However, its subsidiary Hughes Satellite Systems filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, struggling with $1.5 billion in maturing debt amid intensifying competition from low-Earth-orbit providers. The restructuring will refocus Hughes on enterprise, government and defence customers. EchoStar now faces questions about funding its LEO direct-to-device and 5G initiatives whilst managing liquidity pressures and debt obligations. Analysts project EchoStar revenue of $13.3 billion and earnings of $1.3 billion by 2029, assuming a 3.5% annual revenue decline. The company's investment narrative centres on integrated satellite and terrestrial connectivity, though Hughes' bankruptcy filing has raised concerns about the sustainability of this strategy amid competitive and capital pressures.
EchoStar lost 241,000 pay-TV subscribers in the second quarter, ending 30 June 2026 with 6.39 million total subscribers. The figure includes 4.68 million Dish TV and 1.71 million Sling TV subscribers. Overall second-quarter revenue fell to $3.58 billion from $3.72 billion year-on-year. Pay-TV revenue declined to $2.24 billion from $2.46 billion in the same period of 2025. Despite subscriber and revenue declines, EchoStar posted net income of $8.46 billion, compared to a net loss of $306 million in the year-ago quarter, due to a non-cash gain. Excluding this benefit, net income would have been around $49.5 million. Separately, EchoStar's Hughes Network System division filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy to reorganise around $1.5 billion in debt. The company said the proceedings will not impact Dish, Sling TV, or the rest of EchoStar.
