Amazon’s potential entrance into the wireless resale business, as Bloomberg News has reported, reflects a risk to our view of the wireless industry. However, we expect the carriers will remain rational, and our fair value estimates on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Dish Network are unchanged.
From its founding in the 1980s, Dish Network has primarily focused on the satellite television business, capitalizing on technological advancements to expand its reach. The firm now serves 8 million U.S. customers via its network of owned and leased satellites. Dish launched an internet-based television offering under the Sling brand in 2015 and now serves about 2.5 million customers on this platform. Dish’s future, however, hinges primarily on the wireless business. The firm has amassed a large portfolio of spectrum licenses over the past decade, spending about $30 billion in the process, and is now building a nationwide wireless network. It acquired Sprint's prepaid business, serving about 8.5 million customers, as the entry point into the wireless retail market.
Morningstar analysts hand-select direct competitors or comparable companies to provide context on the strength and durability of DISH’s competitive advantage.

Market capitalization is calculated by taking a company’s share price and multiplying it by the total number of shares.
It’s often used to measure a company’s size. In the Morningstar Style Box, large-cap names account for the
largest 70% of U.S. stocks, mid-cap names account for the largest 70–90%, and small-cap names are the remaining 10% of companies.

DISH’s stock style is Small Value.
Style is an investment factor that has a meaningful impact on investment risk and returns.
Style is calculated by combining value and growth scores, which are first individually calculated.
High-growth stocks tend to represent the technology, healthcare, and communications sectors. They rarely distribute dividends to shareholders, opting for reinvestment in their businesses. More value-oriented stocks tend to represent financial services, utilities, and energy stocks. These are established companies that reliably pay dividends.

DISH’s price/sales is 0.26.
Price/sales represents the amount an investor is willing to pay for a dollar generated from

DISH’s price/forward earnings is 2.00.
Forward P/E gives some indication of how cheap or expensive a stock is compared with consensus earnings estimates.
