The valuation conversion from SpaceX to Echostar is being suppressed with the $5 billion short position and the fears from missing the June 1, 2026 debt payment of $183 million. This missed payment triggered a 30 day grace period.
A few days ago, I had said that SpaceX was going to over $200 per share. The $200 milestone should be hit tomorrow. There is index inclusion and $10 billion of buying on Friday.
One more auction round today will be $2.2 billion.
