Dish Network Provided Little Detail at Its Analyst Day, Likely Because Much Remains Unknown

Analyst Note

| Michael Hodel, CFA |

Dish Network provided few new details at its May 10 analyst day. The firm believes it can capture a low-double-digit percentage of the retail wireless market by 2026 (30-40 million customers) through increasingly “disruptive” pricing. Dish spent far more time, however, discussing the opportunities it sees to develop enterprise services utilizing the flexibility its new network provides. Management believes this market could generate revenue of $30 billion or more by 2025, similar to figures Verizon has claimed, and that Dish should be able to grab at least 20% share.

DISH Network Corp Class A's Company Profile

Business Description

From its founding in the 1980s Dish Network has primarily focused on the satellite television business, capitalizing on technological advancements to expand its reach. The firm now serves 8 million U.S. customers via its network of owned and leased satellites. Dish launched an Internet-based television offering under the Sling brand in 2015 and now serves about 2.5 million customers on this platform. Dish’s future, however, hinges primarily on the wireless business. The firm has amassed a large portfolio of spectrum licenses over the past decade, spending about $30 billion in the process, and is now building a nationwide wireless network. It acquired Sprint's prepaid business, serving about 8.5 million customers, as the entry point into the wireless retail market.
