Why EchoStar Stock Crashed 18% Today: https://g.foolcdn.com/editorial/images/737588/satellite-houston.jpg

So it seems that the rumors were true.

Two weeks after Bloomberg broke the story that the on-again, off-again merger between EchoStar (NASDAQ: SATS) and DirecTV might be on again, EchoStar this morning announced a "suite of transformative transactions to delever its balance sheet and improve its debt maturity profile."

Investors are unimpressed. EchoStar stock fell 18.5% through 10:15 a.m. ET on the news.
