Read MoreHide Full Article

DISH Network is set to report fourth-quarter 2022 results on Feb 23.

For the quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $4.14 billion, suggesting a decline of 6.93% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.

The consensus mark for fourth-quarter earnings has been unchanged in the past 30 days at 47 cents, indicating a decline of 45.98% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the past four quarters and missed once. DISH delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 10.83%, on average.

DISH’s fourth-quarter results are expected to reflect the negative impacts of intense and increasing competition in the Pay-TV market, as well as cord-cutting. This has resulted in a continuous decline in subscriber acquisition and retention in the past four quarters.
