What’s Happening With Dish Stock?

Shares of satellite TV and wireless service provider Dish Network (NASDAQ: DISH) have fallen nearly 35% over the past month, while the S&P 500 is still down about 8% over the same period. The latest drop follows the company’s weak first-quarter 2022 results, which fell short of analysts’ revenue and earnings expectations due to a larger-than-expected loss of pay-TV subscribers. Dish’s revenue for the quarter fell nearly 4% year over year to around $4.33 billion, while earnings fell 31% year over year to $0.68 per share. Dish lost about 462,000 pay-TV subscribers, bringing its total pay-TV subscriber base to about 10.24 million. In addition, the ongoing 5G wireless network construction also hurt Dish’s cash flow, which burned through about $191 million in cash in the first quarter, compared with $729 million in free cash flow last year. Investors didn’t respond too well to lower sales and higher cash burn given rising interest rates and tighter monetary conditions, leading the broader market to shift to stocks with higher cash flow yields.

However, now that DISH stock is down about 35% in the last month, will it continue to decline in the near term, or is it about to rebound? Based on historical performance, DISH stock is likely to rise next month. Of the 17 instances in the past decade of a 21-day decline of 35% or more in DISH stock, 17 of these resulted in a rise in DISH stock over the following one-month period (21 trading days). While the jury is still out, it means that based on historical data, there is a good chance that Dish stock will rise next month. See our analysis of Dish Stock Chance of A Rise for more details.
