EchoStar Corp. (NASDAQ:SATS) Reports Q2 2025 Earnings Miss, Shares Drop in Premarket
EchoStar Corp. released its second-quarter 2025 financial results, revealing a mixed performance relative to analyst expectations. The company reported revenue of $3.72 billion, falling short of the consensus estimate of $3.89 billion. Earnings per share (EPS) came in at -$1.06, slightly worse than the projected -$1.02. The market reaction was immediately negative, with shares declining nearly 9% in premarket trading.
The revenue shortfall appears to be the primary driver behind the negative market reaction, as investors weigh the company’s ability to meet growth expectations. While the EPS miss was marginal, the broader concern may stem from whether EchoStar can sustain momentum in its key segments.
The earnings press release highlighted progress in EchoStar’s wireless business, with subscriber growth and improved retention metrics. Additionally, the company recently announced a partnership with MDA Space to develop the world’s first Open RAN-compliant direct-to-device (D2D) low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. This initiative underscores EchoStar’s push into next-generation connectivity solutions, though its financial impact remains long-term.
The sharp premarket decline suggests disappointment over the revenue miss, despite some operational positives. Over the past month, EchoStar’s stock had gained approximately 10.5%, indicating that expectations may have been elevated heading into earnings.
Looking ahead, analysts estimate Q3 2025 revenue at $3.87 billion, with an EPS forecast of -$1.28. For the full year, sales are projected at $15.72 billion, with earnings expected to remain in negative territory. The lack of forward guidance in the press release leaves investors reliant on these external estimates.
