On October 9, EchoStar rose 5.24% in pre-market trading to $98.25 per share, with turnover of $1.0547 million. The move came as market expectations for the company as a core alternative investment vehicle to SpaceX continued to heat up.
EchoStar holds approximately a 2% stake in SpaceX and is viewed by Wall Street as the best proxy for the rocket company. Analysts at Citigroup and Deutsche Bank have both assigned buy ratings to EchoStar shares. UBS Securities recently noted that EchoStar's stock upside could be primarily driven by its expected SpaceX stake given the rocket company's execution ability.
Renewed SpaceX business developments and brand upgrade actions have strengthened market expectations for a revaluation of EchoStar's space industry value chain.
