EchoStar Corp. (SATS)

CAPS Rating:
****

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I am stealing this idea from the VIC website. It's a great idea, though the value the author places on SATS I believe vastly understates the upside potential, particularly if Ergen commences the stock buyback as indicated in the filings. This stock is Exhibit A of why there is so much money to be ...More

Grossly undervalued

If you subtract out the Current Assets, for $1.4b you get a leading Set-top box manufacturer, a fixed satellite service business with a large amount of unutilized capacity, 8 satellites, a promising startup (slingbox) with the next big thing in tv viewing technology, and 30million shares of Terestar (TSTR).

Let me preface by saying that this business is really confusing.

I was also persuaded by the VIC write-up, which is worth the read. And further, I would add that it strikes me as fairly clear that Ergen has not spun-off SATS with the intention that it would be a repository of crap. I am pretty sure that SATS contains, to Ergen's mind anyway, the crown jewels of the previously consolidated company.

What's hard for me to understand is what role technology plays here. Personally, I have been captivated by the SlingMedia technology for a while. I had previously assumed that they would have been purchased by Apple. However, I do not know if theirs is the kind of technology that can be endlessly cloned like youtube's is or not. What is the difference between the two examples if that is not the case? In principle, the idea seems simple enough, and there obviously quite a few competitors in the space already. Perhaps it's all about the compression which relates to picture quality??

So I am only going to give this a three-quarter thumbs up.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
