The company holds the satellite and spectrum assets assembled by Charlie Ergen, and after reuniting with DISH Network in 2023 it combined pay-television subscribers with a wireless network build-out. Satellite television is a declining but cash-generative business funding a capital-intensive attempt to become a fourth national wireless carrier. Federal build-out obligations attached to the spectrum licenses set deadlines that shape capital spending more than customer demand does. Spectrum holdings are widely viewed as worth more than the operating businesses. Headquarters are in Englewood, Colorado.

A protective put caps your downside on the ECHO position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current ECHO option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share ECHO position at $90 is worth $450,000. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $9,000 to $18,000) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off ECHO's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

EchoStar equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge ECHO stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and ECHO's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current ECHO option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does EchoStar grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at EchoStar typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
