As of October 19, 2026, EchoStar Corp. Class A Common Stock scores 4.2 out of 10 on the Lemma Quality Score, a reading of mixed quality. In this band one or two pillars are usually holding the score up while others drag it down, which the breakdown below makes visible. Nothing in it comes from the share price or from forecasts: it is EchoStar Corp. Class A Common Stock’s own reported numbers, scored pillar by pillar.
Set against 80 Communication Services companies, EchoStar Corp. Class A Common Stock lands at the 46th percentile, in the lower half of the group, above the bottom quarter. For reference, the middle of the group scores 4.6 and a company needs 6.0 to reach its top quarter, which leaves EchoStar Corp. Class A Common Stock in line with the median.
There is no profitability score for EchoStar Corp. Class A Common Stock: too little of the pillar could be measured from the filings to give an honest reading. The overall is therefore the weighted average of the other pillars. Across 77 Communication Services companies the median for this pillar is 3.7. Without it the overall leans on balance sheet, growth and consistency, and says little about margins or returns on capital.
Solvency has no score for EchoStar Corp. Class A Common Stock. Fewer than half of the pillar’s metric weight could be computed from the reported statements, so it is drawn as a dash and left out of the overall rather than counted as a zero. For context, the median solvency score across 62 Communication Services companies is 4.8. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.
Growth scores 2.7 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 64 Communication Services companies is 4.7, so EchoStar Corp. Class A Common Stock is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 29th percentile. A low growth score is common for large, established companies and is not a verdict on quality on its own, but it limits how the business can compound.
Efficiency scores 6.0 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 76 Communication Services companies is 6.1, so EchoStar Corp. Class A Common Stock is in line with its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 47th percentile. Middling efficiency is unremarkable on its own, though improvements here tend to show up in free cash flow first.
EchoStar Corp. Class A Common Stock’s predictability score is 4.3 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 4.5 among 80 Communication Services companies, that is in line with the group and the 43rd percentile. An average predictability reading means results have wobbled about as much as is normal for the sector.
Efficiency at 6.0 is EchoStar Corp. Class A Common Stock’s best pillar and growth at 2.7 its weakest. The 3.3 point gap between them is worth keeping in mind when reading the overall. Leading with efficiency points to disciplined use of capital, a strength that compounds quietly. Slow growth limits how fast the business can compound, even when everything else is in order.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is growth. If it rose to the median of Communication Services companies, 4.7, EchoStar Corp. Class A Common Stock’s overall score would go from 4.2 to about 4.9. With two pillars unscored, the overall rests on 55 of the 100 weight points, spread across the three pillars that could be measured (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20).
