On June 17, EchoStar declined 5.15% in regular trading, trading at approximately $114.50/share, with turnover of $404 million. The sell-off reflects a continuation of the profit-taking wave triggered by SpaceX's Nasdaq debut on June 12.
SpaceX listed on Nasdaq on June 12 at an IPO price of $135/share with a post-money valuation of $1.77 trillion, surging over 19% on its first day to push its market cap above $2 trillion. EchoStar holds approximately 3% of SpaceX equity, obtained through its prior wireless spectrum transfer to Starlink. While this stake saw significant value appreciation, the stock has faced persistent selling pressure since SpaceX's listing day as investors locked in gains on the classic buy-the-rumor-sell-the-news dynamic.
Adding to the downside pressure, EchoStar's own fundamentals remain challenged. The company reported EPS of -$0.33 in its most recent quarter with a net loss of $147 million, and prior insider selling activity has further weighed on sentiment. These multiple headwinds have compounded the ongoing correction following the initial SpaceX-driven rally.
