On June 18, EchoStar Corporation fell 5.02% in regular trading, trading at $105.78/share, with turnover of $498 million. The stock had briefly rebounded earlier this week but has resumed its downward trajectory.
On the news front, the decline reflects a continuation of the sell-the-news dynamic triggered by SpaceX's Nasdaq debut on June 12. EchoStar holds approximately 3% of SpaceX equity, acquired through spectrum concessions to Starlink. While SpaceX surged over 19% on its first trading day with its market cap exceeding $2 trillion, EchoStar suffered heavy profit-taking as investors who had accumulated positions ahead of the IPO exited. The stock has now fallen significantly from its pre-IPO highs, with cumulative losses exceeding 15% since the listing date.
Adding to the pressure, the company's own fundamentals remain weak. Its latest quarterly EPS came in at -$0.33, with a net loss of $147 million. Recent insider selling activity has further eroded investor confidence, compounding the post-event selloff and limiting any sustained recovery attempts.
