Dish Network stock (NASDAQ: DISH) has seen over 30% appreciation in value in the last six months and currently trades at a little over $45 per share. The recent rally was driven by the company posting better than expected results from Q2 2020 to Q1 2021. Also, the announcement that Dish Network has decided to partner with cloud computing giant Amazon Web Service (AWS) to sell 5G wireless services to businesses has given a boost to the stock price. The gradual opening up of the economy and rollout of the vaccination program is expected to lead to recovery in consumer spending in the coming quarters. This will drive the commercial/industrial customers to come back to its fold as the current crisis gradually abates. Additionally, as the company continues on its track of 5G expansion, revenue and margins are set to improve in 2021.

But, after the recent rise, will DISH’s stock continue its upward trajectory over the coming weeks, or is a correction in the stock more likely? According to the Trefis Machine Learning Engine, which identifies trends in a company’s stock price data for the last ten years, returns for DISH stock average more than 10% in the next six-month (126 trading days) period after experiencing a 30% rise over the previous six-month (126 trading days) period.

Some Fun Scenarios, FAQs & Making Sense of DISH Stock Movements:

Question 1: Is the average return for DISH Network stock higher after a drop?

Answer:

Consider two situations,

Case 1: DISH Network stock drops by -5% or more in a week

Case 2: DISH Network stock rises by 5% or more in a week

Is the average return for DISH Network stock higher over the subsequent month after Case 1 or Case 2?

DISH stock fares better after Case 1, with an average return of 2.4% over the next month (21 trading days) under Case 1 (where the stock has just suffered a 5% loss over the previous week), versus, an average return of 1.6% for Case 2.

In comparison, the S&P 500 has an average return of 3.1% over the next 21 trading days under Case 1, and an average return of just 0.5% for Case 2 as detailed in our dashboard that details the average return for the S&P 500 after a fall or rise.

Question 3: What about the average return after a rise if you wait for a while?

Answer:

The average return after a rise is understandably lower than after a fall as detailed in the previous question. Interestingly, though, if a stock has gained over the last few days, you would do better to avoid short-term bets for most stocks – although DISH stock appears to be an exception to this general observation.
