Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what SATS's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. SATS trades near $106.40, around its 50-day average ($124.95) and 200-day average ($102.76). Price tangled in its moving averages means there is no clear trend — the stock is ranging.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 35 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently negative — short-term momentum is fading.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. SATS's is $9.88 (~9.3% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month SATS found buyers near $104.14 (support) and sellers near $141.58 (resistance); its 52-week range is $24.15–$147.25. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 1.7× the 20-day average — heavier than usual, which adds conviction to the move. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Debt / Equity
4.51x

-7.1%
In the latest year EchoStar produced about -$99.37M of operating cash flow but negative free cash flow as it invested heavily. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 5.0% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for SATS:
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~5.0%) funds buybacks and dividends.
- As an established S&P 500 member in Communication Services, it brings scale and a long operating history.
The case against SATS:
- Revenue growth is slow/negative (-5.6%), limiting the upside engine.
- Thin net margins (-97.6%) leave little room for error.
- Elevated leverage (debt/equity 4.5x) adds financial risk.
- Our model's overall read is Weak (9/100).
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 4.5x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Growth risk — sluggish revenue (-5.6%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.
Margin risk — thin profitability (-97.6%) is vulnerable to cost or pricing pressure.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the fundamentals screen weakly: EchoStar is a large-cap communication services business with shrinking revenue, with modest profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at n/a earnings, which our model scores Weak (9/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
