Market Focus08-05

On August 5, EchoStar fell 5.02% in pre-market trading, trading at $86.98 per share, with turnover of $234,600.

On the news front, Deutsche Bank cut its price target on EchoStar from $137 to $118, a roughly 14% reduction, while maintaining a Buy rating. Meanwhile, the company reported Q2 adjusted earnings per share of just $0.14, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $1.70 by 91.76%. Total revenue came in at $3.58 billion, down 3.9% year-over-year and slightly below the $3.625 billion estimate. Pay-TV segment revenue declined 8.7% year-over-year to $2.25 billion.

Although headline net income surged to $8.46 billion due to non-cash adjustments, marking a dramatic swing from the prior-year loss, core operating performance remained weak. The stock had briefly rallied in the prior session on the headline earnings turnaround and subsidiary Hughes Satellite Systems filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which was viewed as helping the parent reduce its debt burden. However, the market reversed gains after digesting the underlying operational softness.
