Vital Signs: Actionable charts

In this product we rank the most positive and negative domestic stocks, filter the symbols by market-cap and trading volume, and then divide the companies into sectors and groups. We then manually look through charts leadership/changes, bottoms-up/top-down ideas, short-term patterns that may have long-term significance, etc. We believe you will find this product valuable as significant price and relative moves begin in the daily charts.

SATS: What publicly traded SATS is telling us SpaceX is worth…and vice...

Every day there appear new headlines about SpaceX’s valuation which seem ever higher by a few hundred billion (really, what’s a few hundred billion among friends?). These reports (based on what?) are launching (sorry) the SpaceX stock into the orbit while the confidential S1 filing quietly bakes well ahead of an IPO reportedly slated for June. Having just returned from a European marketing swing, we know investors are looking for some evidence-based support for these increasingly breathless repo...

Broadband cNPS comparisons by tech & operator - The latest data availa...

Scouring the data in this report, we’d point you to the appendix for a quick review. What stands out is that when a broadband customer interacts with a sales rep, presumably they are doing so with a problem or request that an automated or AI-driven IVR cannot address. Almost without fail, sales rep interactions are the Achilles heal of the market right now and likely a core reason, care scores suffer. The operator that can solve this puzzle, and it could be cable, has a window to shift their rel...

Broadband Spring 2026 – A fine time for FWA

In this Broadband Spring report, we share a quick update on broadband industry trends from 4Q25 heading into 2026E. Industry net adds improved meaningfully in 4Q25 from a year ago but remained slightly below last year when we adjust for the loss of ACP. Net adds for the quarter were in line with the pre-pandemic norm but trailing twelve-month net adds remain below pre-pandemic levels. We take a deep-dive here into FWA’s continued strong momentum, by carrier, and how it fits into the overall broa...

SATS: Raising PT to $147 on adjusted SpaceX assumptions and Echostar u...

We are updating our SATS valuation to reflect 1) an updated SpaceX valuation, and 2) updated SATS’ share of SpaceX following the merger between SpaceX and xAI. We now value SpaceX at $1.25Tn for the purpose of SATS valuation. In Elon we trust. We are raising our SATS price target to $147, up from $125 previously.

SATS 4Q25 Quick Take: It’s all about the call

SATS reported 4Q with a few surprises both positive and negative. On the plus side SlingTV losses were better than expected and wireless EBITDA loss was much better than expected. We will discuss more on the call, but Sling was likely a function of 4Q promo pricing and wireless was a function of not paying tower companies. The negative was that after several quarters of positive wireless net adds, SATS swung to a loss in 4Q, reflecting the competitive nature of the quarter. As always, the market...

American Tower 4Q25 Quick Take: Consensus couldn’t get DISH right for ...

AMT (Buy, PT $203) reported 4Q25 results. We continue to view AMT as the best-growing, least-levered, best-positioned stock in the group. 4Q was generally ahead on all metrics. Guidance is bit of a mess with consensus largely having included DISH while there are 2 larger than anticipated factors moving in opposite directions in the form of FX (+) and straight line (negative, but non-cash). This note is our instant read on the result vs. both us and consensus.

Not unexpectedly, SATS defaults on AMT leases – We quantify the readth...

AMT (Buy, PT $203), after the close today, shared that SATS has defaulted on its tower lease agreement payments. This was unsurprising following a similar revelation from CCI (Neutral, PT $93) on 1/12/26 (see our note). AMT says this action will have no impact on 2025 results. AMT did not mention the value of the remaining payments, but we assume it is similar to the ~$3.5bn (undiscounted) CCI cited.

Towers & interest rates, the biggest moving parts

Given recent news around future interest rate actions by the Fed, we performed a sensitivity analysis to better understand potential AFFO per share implications for each of the three major tower companies. Based on a detailed, tranche by tranche debt analysis, SBAC (Neutral, PT $212) has the largest near-term exposure given its short-term refinancing needs. CCI (Neutral, PT $93) has limited exposure given that we expect its debt reduction using proceeds from its small cells and fiber business sa...

SATS defaults on CCI leases - Quantifying the readthrough

CCI (Neutral, PT $93) after the close today announced that SATS has defaulted on its tower lease agreement payments. As a result, the company has terminated the agreement and will seek to recover ~$3.5Bn+ of the remaining undiscounted payments owed. CCI says this decision will have no impact on 2025 results. As a function of this announcement, we are taking SATS payments fully out of our model for 2026E. Previously, we had zeroed out SATS payments for only 2H26 and beyond. In this note, we shar...
