EchoStar Corp. (SATS)

CAPS Rating:
****

X

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.

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 ...More

This looks like a steal at these levels--trading at ~65% of book. Assuming we're not looking at a market that takes 10 years to recover, I can see SATS more than doubling over the next 1-3 years.

$1 billion in cash
30% or so of that in debt.

Payout to TIVO was small change. Approx $100 mm.

It looks like they are generating something near $1b in revenues from their subscription base....per quarter. $13 mm eyeballs. (actually many more than this...13mm subs...likely 3 on avg per sub)

Potential future catalyst during my 3-4 year investment time frame - Video on Demand - something that will happen sooner than later.

I also love the satellites.

Fairholme Fund - Greenlight hold large stakes.
Einhorn owns around 5% of the outstanding shares.
Berkowitz holds over 11% of the shares.

With Ergen at the helm, substantial liquidity and a captive customer for their set top boxes, this company is well-positioned for the future.

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).
