Dish Shares Jump After Credit Suisse Says AT&T May Bid

Dish Network Corp., the second-largest U.S. satellite-television provider, rose the most in almost a year after Credit Suisse Group AG said AT&T Inc. may make a bid to buy the company.

AT&T may be interested in Dish’s wireless-spectrum assets, Jonathan Chaplin, a Credit Suisse analyst in New York, said in a note today. The assets make Dish an appealing buyout candidate to any phone carrier because consumers increasingly want video and broadband from the same provider, he said in an interview.
