The report covers spectrum demand, potential M&A scenarios, and market dynamics, highlighting key risks and valuation methodologies.

AT&T (Ticker: T.N):

• Valuation: Target price $32 per share, based on DCF analysis, EV/EBITDA multiple, and P/FCF multiple.

• Risks: Increased competition, interest rate hikes, legacy revenue pressures, and potential financial risks from investigations.

EchoStar Spectrum (SATS.O):
