Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about DISH Network Corporation stock:

• 1. Macquarie analysts commented, "We downgrade to Neutral on the basis of: 1) underutilized spectrum could make it harder to swallow – the scenario which offers the greatest upside; 2) near-term carrier network demands appear healthy; and 3) 5G technology utilizes other means. We cut our SoTP target to US$61, which assigns a US$1.15/MHz-PoP value to its spectrum (Fig 3)." (4/18/2017)
• 2. Wells Fargo & Company analysts commented, "With the emergence of 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT), we think the revenue opportunity can legitimately be infinite--think uber, the Connected Car, streaming video, hospitals'every single thing we know today could very well 'connect' to the Internet at some point in time. And Charlie has been beyond clear that THIS is the market he wants to go after--with his unencumbered, contiguous, plug-and-play spectrum. We actually think that Charlie's best and most likely option in this emerging 5G world is to pursue a wholesale leasing model as a standalone entity. He doesn't need a network host--he can build his own for $700MM, so why share any of the economics? And we certainly don't think a sale makes sense--when you think about the $5-7B of FCF he can generate just collecting tolls. Let S and TMUS get tied up in a regulatory review that takes at least one year, and then pursue a very complicated integration for another two-plus. Charlie might not be the first out of the gate (T and VZ are clearly ahead of the game), but he certainly won't be the 4th or 5th. We also think the similarities between Charlie and Masayoshi Son (Softbank) are quite interesting and wonder what type of business opportunities might develop there. BOTTOM LINE: We think DISH's position in the wireless ecosystem has never been better. Hence, we reiterate our Outperform rating and $83-94 valuation range, which could be conservative." (3/20/2017)
• 3. According to Zacks Investment Research, "DISH Network posted mixed financial results in the fourth-quarter 2016 where the bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while the top line lagged the same.The stock outshined the Zacks classified ‘Cable TV' industry over the past three months.  DISH Network’s efforts to diversify its business model from being a pure-play satellite-TV operator to an Internet TV operator looks impressive. In fact, the company gained 28,000 pay-TV subscribers in the reported quarter, owing to the popularity of its Internet TV service. Also, the flexible cash and liquidity position of the company further opens up scope for investments. Meanwhile, launch of Air TV Player bode well.However, regulatory fines, programming and content expenses, retransmission fees and persistent loss of subscribers remains a concern. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the company lost 43,000 broadband subscribers compared with a gain of 46,000 in 2015." (2/24/2017)
