EchoStar could be worth at least $161 (£121) a share purely because of the SpaceX stock on its balance sheet, according to a fresh Wall Street valuation that casts the satellite firm as a backdoor route into the largest IPO in history.
New Street Research analyst David Barden lifted his price target on EchoStar (Nasdaq: SATS) this week after SpaceX completed its record-breaking listing, telling clients that owning the rocket maker's shares through EchoStar 'at these levels is an attractive proposition,' CNBC reported.
