S&P Global Ratings cut Dish DBS's rating from CCC+ to 'D' after the subsidiary filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 30, 2026. The filing came one day before the maturity of $2 billion in secured notes, after the sale of spectrum rights to AT&T was delayed and caused a liquidity shortfall. Dish DBS expects that, once the AT&T sale is completed, it will be able to satisfy all recognized claims; S&P plans to reassess the capital structure after the process concludes, likely before the end of the third quarter. » More on de.investing.com

Boost Mobile and Gen Mobile are excluded from the filing and will continue normal operations. EchoStar frames the move as a step to strengthen the business going forward. » More on theverge.com
