What are Wall Street analysts saying about DISH Network stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about DISH Network stock:
- 1. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We are downgrading DISH to HOLD as it appears that the S/TMUS deal will clear regulatory hurdles and the 22.9M share equity deal with sister company SATS announced this morning. The likely ultimate approval of the S/TMUS deal likely significantly pushes back the timing for a potential DISH spectrum deal materially. Recall we previously argued that a S/TMUS deal fail could have potentially driven a VZ/TMUS bidding war for DISH spectrum and while VZ still absolutely would appear to need DISH spectrum they appear to be under little pressure to actually enter into a deal in the short/medium term. In addition, DISH is repurchasing its DBS satellites from SATS (N/R) for 22.9M shares (or $800M at the start of the day) that will be distributed to SATS shareholders." (5/20/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "DISH is hurt by subscriber loss in the Pay-TV business, primarily due to stiff competition and cord-cutting. Moreover, Sling TV subscriber base is increasing, but at a much slower rate. These factors negatively impacted top-line growth. Churn rate is likely to increase due to unavailability of Univision’s certain channels as well as HBO and Cinemax. Additionally, escalating programming and content expenses, retransmission fees and failure to strike any deal with wireless operators are major concerns. Nevertheless, DISH’s efforts to diversify its business from being a pure-play satellite-TV operator to an Internet TV operator is expected to help it counter competitive threats from low-cost video streaming operators. Moreover, DISH’s focus on acquiring and retaining subscribers that are profitable over the long term, is expected to drive growth. Shares have underperformed the industry in the past year."
