What's Going On With DISH Stock?
Portfolio Pulse from Ryan Gustafson
DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ:DISH) shares are experiencing an uptrend following a post-earnings drop in early November. The recovery is attributed to Hamid Akhavan, CEO and president of EchoStar Corp (NASDAQ:SATS), joining DISH as president and CEO, and the FCC's approval for the transfer of control of DISH and its subsidiaries to EchoStar. The merger will recombine the two entities. EchoStar is set to replace DISH in the S&P SmallCap 600 before trading opens on January 2, coinciding with the expected completion of the acquisition. DISH shares were up 7.64% at $5.70, and SATS shares were up 7.29% at $16.18 at the time of publication.
