AI Summary

Stalk
TrimMedium

SATS remains in a Stage 4 decline with confirmed lower highs/lows and a decisive support failure. Medium-term asymmetry is firmly bearish, but price is extended below the 9-day and 21-day EMAs and the 50-day SMA at extreme oversold levels, increasing bounce risk. Selling deeper into this extension is ill‐timed, so we recommend trimming on rallies back into resistance around the EMAs and 50-day SMA.

Bear points

  • it would be difficult and potentially misleading for us to provide significant detail on most of these topics at this time.
  • As we await final regulatory approvals for our spectrum sale and the resulting influx of capital expected during the first half of this year, we remain committed to being excellent stewards of capital. We're preparing to allocate and utilize these funds based on our view of how we might maximize shareholder returns with actions spanning from immediate to over a long horizon.
  • Our decisions are based on many considerations, including paying down expensive or maturing debt obligations, our current and anticipated tax liabilities and any mitigating avenues and investments and development opportunities at EchoStar Capital versus returning excess capital to the shareholders through the common short-term remuneration options.
