Dish Network Corp. slumped to a two-year low, reflecting investor disappointment over the outlook for the company’s 5G wireless network and plans to transition from a satellite TV provider to a mobile broadband competitor.

The shares were down 11% to $19.27 at 11:32 a.m. in New York, the lowest price since April 2020. They had lost 33% this year through Tuesday’s close.
