What Wall Street Has Been Saying

🐂 Bullish Takeaways

• RBC Capital trims its Sats price target only slightly, to NOK 48.00, and links the move to more cautious assumptions. This signals the firm still sees the core equity story as broadly intact.

• Recent Street work highlights potential benefits from SG&A cost discipline and progress around spectrum monetization, which some analysts see as helpful for supporting earnings power and asset value over time.

• UBS references sizeable non operating assets including a SpaceX stake, gross proceeds from completed spectrum sales and remaining spectrum holdings, which continue to be an important part of the Sats investment case.

🐻 Bearish Takeaways

• RBC factors in DISH churn and lower equity income, pointing to ongoing execution risk and a less certain contribution from some partner and investment exposures.

• UBS describes Q4 results as mixed, with Pay TV declines and an MVNO focused transition. This keeps attention on operational headwinds alongside the asset value story.
