On July 17, EchoStar declined 5.05% in regular trading, trading at approximately $91.94/share, with turnover of $219 million.
On the news front, since SpaceX completed its record $86 billion IPO in June, investors can now directly trade SpaceX shares, causing EchoStar's scarcity premium as a SpaceX shadow stock to steadily dissipate. The stock has cumulatively fallen nearly 24% since the IPO. Despite Citi (target price $126) and Deutsche Bank (target price $143) recently resuming coverage with Buy ratings, selling pressure persists.
Additionally, multiple Form 4 ownership change filings and Schedule 13D documents disclosed on July 14 indicate structural adjustments in major shareholder positions, potentially exacerbating short-term selling pressure. Deutsche Bank analyst Bryan Kraft noted that EchoStar's SpaceX holdings per share are valued approximately 20% above the current stock price, implying investors effectively acquire EchoStar's remaining assets for free while purchasing SpaceX at a discount — yet this valuation thesis has yet to arrest the ongoing decline.
