Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q2 2025: 52

EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ:SATS)’s shares stunned observers earlier this month when they jumped by a massive 97% in just two days. The stock soared after the firm announced that it would sell its spectrum to AT&T and transform its Boost Mobile network into a hybrid mobile network. The deal’s $23 billion price tag, coupled with the fact that it marked a key step in resolving EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ:SATS)’s disputes with the FCC, injected fresh life into a stock whose future was unclear to investors due to missed interest payments. Cramer commented on the share price movement:

“It’s an incredible, what a comeback that is for something that a lot of people. . .”

EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ:SATS)’s management had explained the impact of the FCC investigation on its business during its Q2 2025 earnings call:

“As a result of the FCC’s inquiry, we chose to delay several of our scheduled interest payments. We submitted detailed responses in the various public proceedings the agency launched back in May. As explained in our responses, we strongly disagree with the factual and legal basis of the FCC’s inquiries. On June 11, our Chairman met with FCC Chairman, Carr, and explained how the FCC’s actions threaten our viability. Following this meeting, President Trump encouraged the parties involved to reach a positive resolution. Due to the nature of our ongoing discussions with the FCC, government and other entities, we chose to make our delayed interest payments within the permissible grace periods.”
