EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ:SATS) ranks among the best growth stocks to buy and hold for the long term. On March 2, EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ:SATS) released its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings results, which highlighted the company’s capacity to boost profitability in spite of revenue challenges and subscriber pressure.

Compared to the previous quarter’s $231 million and 6.4% margin, the company’s adjusted OIBDA increased significantly to $584 million with a 15.4% margin. This feat was largely driven by careful cost management, with the cost of services falling 13.9% year-over-year to $2,181 million.

That said, EchoStar’s wireless division posted a mixed performance in the quarter. Following three straight quarters of subscriber gains totaling 585,000 net additions, the segment saw a net loss of 9,000 in Q4 2025.

In addition, the company scrapped its direct-to-device satellite constellation program in favor of a strategic alliance with SpaceX/Starlink. During the earnings call, Executive Chairman Charlie Ergen described SpaceX as “the best company I’ve ever worked with in 45 years.”
