# Weekly Recap | Echostar +0.34%, most brokers rate it buy

## The Week

Echostar (ECHO) added 0.34% this week to close at $93.46, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.08%, leaving Echostar about 0.42 percentage points ahead. Trading was choppy rather than directional. The stock touched a high of $95.70 and a low of $91.50, with amplitude around 4.53%. Monday opened with a push higher, then faded to $93.89. Tuesday drifted down to $92.10 on lighter volume, Wednesday recovered to $93.46, and Thursday held above $94. Friday saw a spike in volume to 8.86m shares before settling back at $93.46.

## Key Events

The week’s news was dominated by talk of satellite deals and small position changes. On Monday, The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company disclosed a new $8.10m investment. On Tuesday, HighTower Advisors LLC added 12,283 shares. On Thursday, United teamed up with DISH to broadcast professional and college football games live on Starlink-enabled seatback screens. On Friday, market commentary explored whether satellite deals could be a big moment for EchoStar. The company itself published no product, earnings or regulatory news during the week; the material filings arrived on Saturday in the form of DEF 14A, DEFA14A and ARS documents, all shareholder-meeting related.

## Analyst Ratings

Nine firms cover EchoStar: six rate it buy, two rate it overweight, and one has no opinion. There are no hold, underweight or sell ratings. The consensus rating is strong buy, with a consensus target of $131.44, about 40.6% above the latest close. Targets range from $103 to $156, so views diverge meaningfully. Within the media industry, EchoStar ranks 18th out of 60 companies.

## The Week Ahead

Echostar has no earnings or company-specific events on next week’s calendar. On the macro side, the Richmond Fed composite index lands on Tuesday with a prior reading of 4. Wednesday brings EIA weekly crude and Cushing crude inventories. Thursday is busier, with initial jobless claims, the current account balance, new home sales and natural gas inventories. These matter mainly for overall market tone; the company-specific thread to watch is whether the satellite-deal chatter turns into something more concrete.

## In Short

Echostar edged higher and beat the broader market, but the week was range-bound rather than decisive. The analyst picture is upbeat, with a consensus target well above spot, while the latest session showed large-lot money as a net seller and small-lot money as a net buyer. The near-term question is whether clearer news on satellite deals emerges, and whether large-lot flows shift back toward buying.
