Percentile across ~4,600 US stocks on Ticker Nerd’s systematic factor model. Higher is better. How the model is built and tested
Accruals (96): Reported profit is backed by cash, and the company is not expanding recklessly.
Quality (17): Profits are thin or unreliable for the size of the business, or they are not turning into cash.
Size (8): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.

EchoStar stock rose sharply on Friday following a move that erased more than $4 billion in debt. The subsidiary involved contains the Dish TV and Sling TV operations.
Why it matters — The substantial debt reduction tied to EchoStar's Dish TV and Sling TV subsidiary could meaningfully strengthen the company's balance sheet.
United Airlines has partnered with DISH to offer live college and pro football games to passengers via Starlink-enabled seatback screens, beginning this week across nine major sports networks.
Why it matters — This partnership highlights an additional distribution channel for live sports content, which could be relevant to EchoStar shareholders given DISH's involvement in the arrangement.
Nigerian Communications (NIGCOMSAT) selected the Hughes JUPITER scalable gateway to support its next-generation satellite program. The Hughes JUPITER platform will power the upcoming NIGCOMSAT-2A and 2B satellites operated by NIGCOMSAT.
Why it matters — The selection expands Hughes' (EchoStar's subsidiary) involvement in Nigeria's next-generation satellite program, potentially growing EchoStar's business.
Sling TV, a subsidiary of EchoStar, announced a nationwide name, image, and likeness (NIL) campaign partnering with nine college football players. The campaign, titled "Watch Football on YOUR Terms," is designed to help fans watch football throughout the 2026 season.
Why it matters — EchoStar investors may view this as a promotional effort to attract and retain subscribers for its Sling TV streaming service during the college football season.
The article highlights that satellite communications companies, including EchoStar (ECHO), Iridium Communications (IRDM), and Sirius XM Holdings (SIRI), are among the top holdings of the Procure Space ETF (UFO). It notes that these companies have delivered particularly strong gains in 2026, reflecting the growing importance of satellite communications, navigation, spectrum, and connectivity in the space economy.
Why it matters — EchoStar watchers would care because the article positions ECHO as a prominent holding in a space-focused ETF and points to its strong share-price performance in 2026, underscoring its growing role in the satellite communications sector.
The 8 Wall Street analysts covering EchoStar Corp. have a median 12-month price target of $130, with estimates ranging from $103 to $156. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.
Of the 8 analysts covering EchoStar Corp., 7 rate it a Buy, 1 a Hold and 0 a Sell. Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model ranks EchoStar Corp. 53 out of 100 across roughly 4,600 US stocks as at 10 Oct 2026. None of this is personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances.
As at 10 Oct 2026, EchoStar Corp. ranks 53 out of 100 on Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model — a percentile across roughly 4,600 US stocks, built from its factor families. Its strongest factor family is Accruals (96 of 100).
No one can know that. What the data says: the median 12-month target from 8 analysts implies +37.1% from the last close, and Ticker Nerd's factor model ranks EchoStar Corp. 53 out of 100 as at 10 Oct 2026. Analyst targets are third-party estimates and frequently wrong; none of this is personal advice.
No analyst covering EchoStar Corp. publishes a 2030 price target — Wall Street targets run 12 to 18 months out. Sites quoting a 2030 price for ECHO are extrapolating price history, which says nothing about the business. The furthest attributed numbers are the current analyst targets: $103 to $156 over the next 12 months.
EchoStar Corp. returned +24.0% over the 12 months to 9 Oct 2026, with dividends reinvested. Past performance does not indicate future returns.
