Viasat Advances NASA Communications Services Project Demonstration with Successful Launch
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
CARLSBAD, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viasat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global leader in satellite communications technology, today announced it has advanced the company’s demonstration mission for NASA’s Communications Services Project (CSP) with the successful launch of the Maxwell spacecraft from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station yesterday, October 20th, at 7:04 a.m. ET during the Bandwagon-5 rideshare mission with SpaceX.

Viasat offers solutions for rapidly growing low Earth orbit (LEO) operations which require the ability to effectively transport mission data back to Earth for analysis and distribution while balancing real-time demands and data latency, as well as maintain continuous contact with the spacecraft for command and control. This on-orbit demonstration mission is a key milestone in Viasat’s work developing innovative space-based communication services under two CSP contract awards totaling $81 million and supports NASA as it prepares to sunset its Tracking and Data Relay Satellite fleet.

Supporting its Defense and Advanced Technologies segment, Viasat’s government space team will now proceed with on-orbit testing and demonstrations that will take place over five months through March 2027. Viasat’s Ka- and L-band space relay services will offer LEO operators the real-time, low-data latency communications required for time-sensitive operations, removing delays to downlink data to the ground. These solutions are designed to support NASA mission needs, as well as the growing market for on-demand LEO connectivity services for government and commercial mission operations.

The Viasat payloads include a space-qualified Ka-band terminal that will be able to access the high-capacity ViaSat-3 satellite network, as well as an L-band terminal to connect with Viasat’s global L-band network. These geostationary orbit (GEO)-based relay solutions will deliver on-demand access to critical mission data and enable real-time telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C) operations at any point in a LEO spacecraft’s orbit. The demonstrations will also include direct-to-ground communications through Viasat’s Real-Time Earth Ground-Station-as-a-Service for S-, X-, and Ka-bands.

"Yesterday’s launch represents the culmination of years of innovation, engineering and collaboration across Viasat, NASA and our industry partners," said John Reeves, Vice President of Space and Mission Systems, Viasat Government. "As LEO constellation operations, Earth observation and scientific missions, and military space activities continue to expand, the need for resilient, high-performance space-based communications to keep data flowing has never been greater. Our demonstration will show how new commercial services can transform LEO operations with continuous access and command and control of the spacecraft, enabling dynamic re-tasking and real-time data collection for government and commercial missions."

Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ: RKLB) built the Maxwell spacecraft at its Long Beach, California, facility, incorporating a suite of in-house components and subsystems including solar panels, reaction wheels, star trackers, and flight and ground software. The spacecraft provides power, communications, propulsion, and attitude control for the mission demonstration. In addition, Rocket Lab provided a new L-band radio to support the relay demonstration of various TT&C applications through Viasat’s L-band network.

This marks Viasat’s second NASA CSP program demonstration mission, following an initial demonstration of its launch telemetry relay solution during the Blue Origin New Glenn launch in November 2025.

Viasat Inc (VSAT) Stock Down 4.3% but Still Overvalued -- GF Score: 61/100
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
On October 16, 2026, Viasat Inc VSAT shares fell 4.3% to a current price of $58.83, marking a significant decline over the past month, with shares down 17.1%. Over the past year, the stock has experienced a notable increase of 62.7%, but has faced volatility, with a 52-week high of $93.03 and a low of $29.13.

GF Value™ verdict: Current price at $58.83 vs GF Value of $18.80 indicates a 212.9% overvaluation.GF Score™ of 61/100 suggests the company is above average in terms of overall performance.Most notable signal: Insiders sold $71.2M worth of shares in the past 12 months, indicating a lack of confidence from those within the company.Is VSAT Overvalued or Undervalued?Based on the GF Value™, which serves as GuruFocus' estimate of a stock's intrinsic value derived from historical trading multiples and future performance expectations, Viasat Inc appears significantly overvalued at its current price of $58.83. The GF Value™ is set at $18.80, suggesting that there is a considerable margin of safety for potential investors, as the current price reflects a 212.9% premium over this estimate. This extreme reading signals that the stock might be overpriced based on fundamental valuation metrics.

The GF Valuation label categorizes VSAT as significantly overvalued, raising concerns about the sustainability of its current price level, especially given that the company is unprofitable and cash-flow negative. As such, potential investors should approach with caution, keeping in mind the inherent risks that come with investing in a company that does not generate positive earnings or cash flow.

How Does VSAT's Valuation Compare to Its History?MetricCurrentHistoricalP/E Ratio (TTM)N/A142.7x (5-Year Median)Given that Viasat Inc does not currently have an applicable P/E ratio due to its unprofitability, the traditional earnings-based valuation methods cannot be applied effectively. This absence of a P/E ratio aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, reinforcing the notion that VSAT is overvalued, as the stock trades significantly above its historical median valuation metrics.

What Does VSAT's GF Score™ Tell Us?The GF Score™ is a comprehensive measure that evaluates a company's financial health and performance across multiple dimensions, providing insights into its growth potential, profitability, and valuation. Viasat's current GF Score™ of 61/100 indicates that it is above average compared to its peers.

MetricRatingGF Score™61Financial Strength4/10Profitability3/10Growth7/10Valuation1/10Momentum9/10While Viasat shows strength in growth (7/10) and momentum (9/10), it struggles significantly in profitability (3/10) and valuation (1/10). The low valuation rank indicates that the stock is deemed overvalued relative to its financial performance, aligning with the earlier findings from the GF Value™ analysis.

What Are Gurus and Insiders Doing with VSAT?Currently, 8 gurus hold shares of Viasat Inc, with 5 increasing their positions and 2 trimming their holdings in recent quarters. This suggests a mixed sentiment among institutional investors, which may reflect a cautious optimism about the company's future potential. Notably, insider activity has shown a bearish trend, with insiders selling a substantial $71.2M worth of shares over the last year without any buying activity. This pattern of insider selling could indicate a lack of confidence in the stock's future performance and should be taken into consideration by prospective investors.

What This Means for InvestorsIn summary, Viasat Inc VSAT is currently assessed as overvalued based on the GF Value™ estimate, which significantly undercuts the current market price. The considerable insider selling and the company's cash-flow-negative status further amplify the risks associated with holding this stock. For a deeper understanding of Viasat's financials and valuation metrics, you can visit the Viasat Inc (VSAT) stock page, along with insights from the GF Value™ page.

A Look at Viasat Inc (VSAT) After 3.1% Decline -- GF Value $18.75 vs Price $69.79
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News

VSAT -3.07% 61

shares fell 3.1% to a current price of $69.79, moving within a 52-week range of $29.13 to $93.03. The stock has shown remarkable volatility, posting a year-to-date gain of 102.5% and a one-year increase of 117.7%.

GF Value™ verdict: The current price is $69.79, while GF Value is $18.75, indicating a 272.2% overvaluation.GF Score™: 61/100, suggesting the stock is above average in terms of overall quality.Most notable signal: Insider activity shows that insiders sold $70.2 million worth of shares over the past 12 months, with no buying activity.Is VSAT Overvalued or Undervalued?Viasat Inc's current price of $69.79 is significantly above the GF Value™ estimate of $18.75, suggesting a substantial overvaluation of 272.2%. The GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary intrinsic-value estimate, derived from a combination of historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. Given that Viasat is currently unprofitable and cash-flow negative, relying on earnings-based valuation methods such as the Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio is not applicable. Instead, a Price-to-Sales (P/S) analysis is more relevant, especially since Viasat's historical median P/S ratio stands at approximately 1.4x. This extreme disparity between the current price and the GF Value™ serves as a directional warning for potential investors, indicating significant risk if the stock does not realign with its intrinsic value.

The GF Valuation label classifies Viasat as "Significantly Overvalued," which amplifies concerns regarding the sustainability of its current stock price. The high valuation relative to both intrinsic metrics and historical performance raises questions about the stock's long-term viability, particularly as the market adjusts to the realities of a loss-making company.

How Does VSAT's Valuation Compare to Its History?MetricCurrentHistoricalP/E (TTM)N/A139.1xSince Viasat does not currently report a P/E ratio due to its unprofitability, we cannot directly compare its current valuation to its 5-year median P/E of 139.1x. However, this absence of a P/E indicates that the traditional earnings-based metrics do not apply here, which aligns with the GF Value™ assessment that Viasat is significantly overvalued. Thus, the lack of earnings further complicates the valuation landscape and validates the warnings raised by the GF Value™ analysis.

What Does VSAT's GF Score™ Tell Us?The GF Score™ measures a stock's overall quality based on several factors, including financial strength, profitability, growth potential, valuation, and momentum. Viasat's GF Score™ of 61/100 indicates it falls into the above-average category, but the underlying sub-ranks reveal a more nuanced picture.

MetricRatingGF Score™61Financial Strength4/10Profitability3/10Growth7/10Valuation1/10Momentum9/10Viasat's strongest area is its growth rank of 7/10, indicating potential for expansion, while its weakest area is valuation, scoring only 1/10. This disparity suggests that while the company may have promising growth prospects, the current valuation is not justified based on its performance metrics and financial health. The financial strength and profitability scores further highlight the challenges Viasat faces, particularly as it navigates a cash-flow-negative environment.

What Are Gurus and Insiders Doing with VSAT?Currently, 8 gurus hold Viasat Inc
VSAT -3.07% 61

in their portfolios, with 5 having recently increased their positions and 2 trimming their stakes. This signals a mixed sentiment among professional investors, suggesting some see potential in the stock while others are cautious. However, the insider activity raises red flags; insiders have sold $70.2 million worth of shares over the past year without any buying activity, which could indicate a lack of confidence in the company's future performance.

The combination of guru ownership dynamics and significant insider selling presents a complex picture. While the presence of gurus adding to their positions might reflect a belief in future growth, the insider selling suggests caution and could be a warning sign for potential investors. This duality in the ownership trend is critical for assessing the sentiment surrounding Viasat.

What This Means for InvestorsBased on the analysis above, Viasat Inc
VSAT -3.07% 61

appears to be significantly overvalued according to the GF Value™, which estimates a fair value of $18.75 compared to the current trading price of $69.79. The combination of high insider selling and questionable financial health only adds to the risk profile of this investment. Potential investors should approach with caution and consider the broader implications of the valuation metrics presented.

Can the Formation of Equatys Help Revive Viasat's Growth Momentum?
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Equatys could open new D2D revenue streams and expand VSAT beyond traditional satellite connectivity.Equatys targets 3GPP-compliant D2D using L- and S-band spectrum and access to more than 100 MHz.Shared multi-tenant infrastructure could lower Viasat's capital burden by spreading deployment costs. Viasat, Inc. (VSAT - Free Report) is aiming to strengthen its position in the rapidly evolving satellite communications market through Equatys, the global Direct-to-Device (D2D) infrastructure venture it is forming with UAE-based Space42.

Equatys Opens a Large D2D Opportunity for ViasatEquatys is being designed as an independent, neutral and multi-participant satellite infrastructure platform for D2D and other advanced mobile satellite services. The network is expected to use 3GPP-compliant non-terrestrial network (NTN) technology, allowing ordinary smartphones and IoT devices to connect with satellites when terrestrial cellular networks are unavailable.

This gives Viasat exposure to a potentially much broader user base than traditional satellite communications, which historically depended on specialized terminals and equipment. Viasat also expects opportunities beyond the consumer D2D market. The company sees next-generation mobile satellite services supporting aviation and maritime safety, autonomous vehicles, enterprise applications and national-security missions. This diversification could reduce its dependence on slower-growing businesses such as residential fixed broadband while creating multiple avenues for monetizing its satellite and networking expertise.

Spectrum Assets Could Provide a Competitive EdgeEquatys' spectrum position is another key positive. The planned platform is expected to operate initially across globally harmonized L- and S-band mobile satellite spectrum and is designed to access more than 100 MHz of coordinated spectrum across a large number of international markets.

Spectrum availability is particularly important in D2D because capacity, regulatory approval and geographic coverage can determine the scalability of a satellite-to-smartphone service. Viasat brings significant mobile satellite expertise to Equatys following its acquisition of Inmarsat, including spectrum rights, global market access and experience in safety-critical aviation and maritime communications. Combining these assets with Space42's spectrum and infrastructure could enhance Equatys' ability to offer mobile network operators a scalable alternative to building independent satellite networks.

Shared Infrastructure Model Could Improve Capital EfficiencyInstead of each satellite operator building separate space and ground networks, Equatys plans to create shared, multi-tenant infrastructure that can be used by multiple licensed operators. The model is conceptually similar to terrestrial tower companies, where infrastructure costs are distributed across several customers.

This could materially reduce the capital required to participate in the global D2D opportunity. Capital efficiency remains a critical consideration for Viasat, given the investment requirements associated with satellite construction, launches and network development. Management has been focused on lowering capital intensity while strengthening the balance sheet. Equatys could support these objectives by enabling Viasat to pursue a potentially large new market without shouldering the entire infrastructure burden itself. Additional strategic and financial participants could further spread deployment costs as the network expands.

Price PerformanceViasat has surged 125.7% over the past year compared with the industry’s growth of 23.4%. It has outperformed its peers like AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (ASTS - Free Report) and Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (CMTL - Free Report) over this period. While ASTS has soared 46.1%, Comtech plunged 37.8%.

Stiff Competition Hurt VSATDespite inherent growth potential, Viasat continues to operate in highly competitive satellite communications markets. Management acknowledged increasing competition across legacy commercial broadband and aviation connectivity markets, where pricing pressure and customer transitions to competing providers could moderate future growth despite expanding network capacity.

While aviation and government services are growing, residential fixed broadband and portions of the maritime business remain under pressure. Successful satellite deployment does not automatically translate into financial returns. The investment case still depends on timely commercial service launches, customer adoption, utilization of additional capacity and the ability to convert technological advantages into sustained revenue growth and improved returns.

The Road AheadViasat’s improving business mix, expanding defense opportunities and progress with its next-generation satellite network support its long-term growth prospects. The recent entry of ViaSat-3 F3 into commercial service across the Asia-Pacific should also expand capacity and strengthen Viasat’s growth opportunities in aviation, maritime and government connectivity markets.

The formation of Equatys could emerge as a key growth catalyst by opening new revenue streams, improving capital efficiency and expanding its addressable market beyond traditional satellite connectivity services. However, leverage remains substantial, capital spending is elevated and weakness in fixed broadband and certain legacy businesses continues to weigh on overall growth.

Therefore, existing investors may prefer to hold VSAT stock, while prospective buyers could wait for a more attractive entry point or clearer evidence that ViaSat-3 deployments, defense momentum and deleveraging are translating into sustained earnings growth.

Funding Commitment: Signing of binding agreement provides for up to USD1 billion in combined equity commitments from Space42 and Viasat as the initial co-founders of EquatysProgram Progression: Simultaneous signing of agreement to step-up funding accelerates program development of the initial satellite constellation; Scalable constellation’s initial tranche to be awarded upon formation of Equatys with planned appointment of Viasat as prime technology contractorStrategic Differentiation: Equatys intended to offer a foundation for choice and interoperability and provide compelling economic benefits from geographic and spectral efficiencies to participating global, regional and national space operators using licensed Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) spectrum and/or Supplemental Coverage from Space (SCS) spectrum Attractive Business Model / Investment: Tower Company model intended to deliver compounding economic value to satellite service providers as the user base grows by reducing each participant’s share of satellite costs, improving spectrum efficiencies, and improving network performance and availability at scales otherwise beyond the reach of each individual operator; Compound growth model provides attractive return potential for additional strategic and financial partners as the system scales PARIS, Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Space42 (ADX: SPACE42), the UAE-based AI-powered SpaceTech company, and Viasat, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global leader in satellite and secure communications, today announced the signing of an agreement at World Space Business Week in Paris to formally establish Equatys, a shared space and ground infrastructure platform that will support the extension of mobile coverage and overlay in the places terrestrial networks cannot serve, including in coverage gaps in populated metro areas. Upon the formation of Equatys, Space42 and Viasat will commit to an initial equity contribution of up to USD1 billion.

Development of the initial constellation accelerates with the simultaneous signing of an agreement to step-up joint funding. Upon formation of Equatys, Viasat is expected to be appointed as the company’s prime technology contractor.

The company is being established as global demand for satellite-enabled mobile connectivity accelerates. With 3GPP NTN standards enabling everyday smartphones and connected devices to access satellite networks, the addressable Direct-to-Device (D2D) and advanced MSS market is expected to expand significantly over the coming decades. Together, Viasat and Space42 bring unmatched global reach through commercial relationships with more than 400 mobile operators worldwide and access to the largest amount (>100MHz) of globally coordinated MSS spectrum available for D2D deployment, creating a uniquely scalable foundation for growth.

Equatys is designed to support the connection of smartphones, IoT devices, and other devices and terminals directly to satellites, giving mobile operators a way to offer voice, text, and data where cellular networks are otherwise unavailable or have low density. The agreement builds on work by Space42 and Viasat on the technical design and manufacture of the satellites, along with ecosystem progress in seamless terrestrial network integration, interoperability standards, and feedback from a number of mobile network operators and ecosystem participants. This is the next stage in Space42 and Viasat’s roles as co-founders of Equatys, first announced in March 2025, when Space42 and Viasat began funded technical and commercial studies of shared non-terrestrial network (NTN) infrastructure, followed by the September 2025 announcement of their intention to form Equatys.

Equatys is built on a Tower Company model, a proven approach that helped the terrestrial mobile industry efficiently scale by sharing standardized and/or common infrastructure among all or many operators. Equatys will provide a neutral, shared layer of both satellites and ground infrastructure; by sharing infrastructure rather than duplicating it, ecosystem participants can reduce capital requirements, accelerate deployment, increase service availability, and maintain customer and commercial independence. Participating operating licensees sharing infrastructure can realize greater cost efficiency than is likely possible within their own geographic coverage area and/or spectrum authorizations – potentially rivalling or surpassing even the largest individual constellations. Multiple operators can use the same platform while maintaining their own spectrum licensing rights, customers, and commercial relationships. The business model is open by design, so additional spectrum licensees and satellite operators can use the constellation, which supports high levels of spectrum aggregation, coordination and cooperation. The initial constellation is the first phase of an architecture designed to scale to 2,800 satellites across 60 orbital planes and three altitude layers, enabling densification without redesign as demand grows.

The company’s funding is expected to come from a combination of founders’ equity, third-party equity and debt financing sources. The model is anticipated to offer equity investors infrastructure-grade returns with appreciation potential, while phased equity offerings will allow additional strategic and financial partners to participate as the system scales. Additional licensee users of the system would not be required to invest in the system in order to use it.

Within this new company, each founding partner brings significant scale to the system. Space42 holds coordinated L-band spectrum rights across more than 160 markets and mobile operator relationships that extend the platform’s commercial reach. Viasat is expected to serve as prime technology contractor, and holds coordinated MSS spectrum rights in the L-band globally and in the S-band in Europe. Together, Space42 and Viasat hold commercial agreements with more than 400 mobile operators worldwide and technical capability and access to operate across over 100 MHz of globally coordinated MSS spectrum for advanced MSS services and NTN D2D services.

Karim Michel Sabbagh, Managing Director of Space42, said: "With the signing of this agreement, Equatys takes off. For the first time, the satellite industry is building infrastructure the way the mobile industry thinks: shared, interoperable, standards-based, and designed for billions of devices rather than millions of subscribers. Space42 and Viasat have each brought what the other could not, and together we have assembled a differentiated capabilities system unique to the space industry. We have always known it was within our reach, and today we are proving it."

"We are creating a new infrastructure category for global D2D and advanced MSS connectivity, backed by unique spectrum assets, significant committed capital, and a business model proven to scale the mobile industry. Finalizing the formation of Equatys reflects our collective confidence in the strategic value and long-term financial merits of this venture to support a rapidly growing non-terrestrial market for emerging D2D NTN and advanced Mobile Satellite Services," said Mark Dankberg, Chairman and CEO of Viasat. "By creating a system with state of the art technology, and mechanisms for neutral, shared, and trusted infrastructure access, Equatys will accelerate innovation in space-based connectivity, establish a scalable and interoperable architecture designed to support a full ecosystem of participants with choice and economies of scale, and deliver meaningful growth opportunities with attractive returns for investors and partners."

Industry Opportunity

The global D2D satellite connectivity market is projected to reach USD 30-70 billion by 2040, initially driven by the embedding of NTN support into 3GPP Release 17, the technical standard underpinning mobile networks globally, with even closer integration planned for future releases.The standards shift means everyday smartphones and IoT devices can connect to satellite networks without specialized hardware, opening a market that no prior satellite generation could realistically serve. Equity Framework

Upon the formation of Equatys, Space42 and Viasat will each commit to an initial equity contribution of USD 400 million, which is expected to be increased by an additional USD 200 million from Space42 in connection with a future equity funding round open to third-party investors, bringing the two parties’ total equity contributions to up to USD1 billion.

The formation of the venture, constellation procurement and corresponding definitive agreements remain subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and the appointment of Viasat as the prime technology contractor. The companies intend to provide further updates as Equatys progresses toward those conditions.

ViaSat (VSAT) Down 13.7% Since Last Earnings Report: Can It Rebound?
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for ViaSat (VSAT - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 13.7% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is ViaSat due for a breakout? Well, first let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for Viasat Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

Viasat Q1 Earnings Beat Estimates Despite Lower Y/Y Revenues 

Viasat reported mixed first-quarter fiscal 2027 results, with revenues missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and earnings beating the consensus estimate.

The company reported a year-over-year revenue decline, reflecting ongoing headwinds in portions of its legacy commercial services portfolio and lower IP licensing revenues. However, its bottom line improved as reduced interest expense, driven by continued debt repayment, outweighed the impact of lower revenues.

Net Income

Viasat reported a net loss of $51.7 million or a loss of 38 cents per share compared with a net loss of $56.4 million or a loss of 43 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. The narrower loss was due to lower interest expense during the quarter.

Excluding non-recurring items, Viasat reported non-GAAP net income of $24.5 million or 17 cents per share compared with $23.1 million or 17 cents per share in the prior-year period. The bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 10 cents.

Revenues

Revenues declined to $1.16 billion from $1.17 billion. The figure missed the consensus estimate of $1.2 billion. Product revenues were $324.1 million, down from $344.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Service revenues increased to $832.4 million from $826.4 million a year ago.

Revenues from the Communication Services segment were $825.1 million, down from $827.4 million in the prior-year quarter. The marginal revenue decline reflected lower contributions from residential fixed broadband and maritime services, which offset continued growth in aviation and government Satellite Communications. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA decreased to $311.3 million from $321.5 million.

Revenues from the Defense and Advanced Technologies (DAT) segment were $331.5 million, down 4% year over year, primarily due to weaker contributions from Advanced Technologies & Other and Space and Mission Systems, despite strong Tactical Networking growth. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $69.9 million from $86.9 million in the year-ago quarter.

Other Details

In the June quarter, Viasat reported an operating income of $47.3 million compared with $46.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $381.1 million, down from $408.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The net contract awards increased to $1.3 billion from $1.18 billion a year ago, while the backlog increased 19% year over year to $4.22 billion.

Cash Flow & Liquidity

During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Viasat generated an operating cash flow of $260.6 million compared with $258.5 million in the prior-year period. As of June 30, 2026, the company had $1.74 billion in cash and cash equivalents, with a net debt of $4.83 billion.

Outlook

For fiscal 2027, management expects mid-single-digit revenue growth and flat to slightly up adjusted EBITDA year over year. Viasat anticipates the Communication Services segment’s low single-digit year-over-year revenue performance, due to continued growth in aviation services, offset by a decline in FS&O. DAT revenue growth is anticipated to be in the mid-teens, primarily driven by strong growth in information security and cyber defense, as well as space and mission systems and tactical networking.

Capital expenditure is expected to be between $950 million and $1 billion (including approximately $250-$300 million for Inmarsat-related capital expenditures). The company’s operating cash flow is expected to be flat year over year, and the free cash flow is anticipated to be approximately $180 million (excluding the benefit of the Ligado lump sum payments, as they are non-recurring).

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?It turns out, estimates revision have trended downward during the past month.

The consensus estimate has shifted -13.33% due to these changes.

Can ViaSat-3 Launches Unlock Viasat's Next Growth Phase?
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Viasat is advancing ViaSat-3 toward commercial service with key deployment milestones completed.VSAT expects expanded capacity to support aviation, maritime, enterprise and government services.Viasat reported record awards and backlog, but customer adoption remains the key milestone. The next phase of Viasat's (VSAT - Free Report) ViaSat-3 constellation marks one of the company's most important operational milestones. As additional satellites move closer to commercial service, investors are evaluating whether the expanded network can accelerate growth across aviation, maritime, enterprise and government markets. While the technology promises meaningful long-term benefits, the pace of commercialization and customer adoption will ultimately determine whether ViaSat-3 becomes a major earnings driver. 

Why ViaSat-3 Matters for ViasatThe ViaSat-3 program represents the foundation of Viasat's next-generation global satellite network. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, ViaSat-3 Flight 2 completed all bus in-orbit testing and is expected to enter commercial service by September 2026. Following quarter-end, Flight 3 completed reflector and boom deployment, entered in-orbit testing and remains on track for commercial service across the Asia-Pacific region in late August or early September 2026. These milestones significantly reduce deployment uncertainty and move the constellation closer to full commercial operation. 

Management believes the additional satellite capacity, broader geographic coverage and flexible beamforming capabilities will improve network efficiency, customer experience and capital utilization while strengthening Viasat's ability to compete across multiple connectivity markets. 

Where New Capacity Could Generate GrowthThe expanded ViaSat-3 network is expected to create growth opportunities across several higher-value business segments. In aviation, additional bandwidth should enhance passenger connectivity while supporting airlines seeking more reliable in-flight internet services. Maritime customers may also benefit from improved multi-orbit connectivity through Viasat's NexusWave platform, which continues gaining commercial adoption. Enterprise customers could gain access to broader coverage and higher-capacity services, while government agencies may benefit from more resilient and flexible communications infrastructure.

Management also expects greater bandwidth availability, flexible beamforming and AI-driven network optimization to improve capacity utilization, lower effective airtime costs and allow network resources to be allocated more efficiently as customer demand evolves. These operational improvements could support higher-value services while improving returns on invested capital over time.

Execution Remains the Biggest VSAT TestAlthough deployment progress has been encouraging, launching satellites represents only the first step in realizing the investment opportunity. The larger challenge is successfully commercializing the expanded network. Investors will closely monitor customer adoption, capacity utilization, pricing, revenue conversion and profitability as ViaSat-3 enters service. Delays in customer onboarding or slower-than-expected monetization could postpone the financial benefits anticipated from the new constellation.

Competition also remains intense across satellite communications. Viasat competes with Iridium Communications Inc. (IRDM - Free Report) and AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (ASTS - Free Report) . Iridium continues to benefit from strong demand for its global L-band satellite network serving government, aviation and maritime customers. Meanwhile, AST SpaceMobile is developing a space-based cellular broadband network designed to deliver direct-to-device connectivity through partnerships with mobile network operators. As a result, Viasat must execute successfully while continuing to differentiate its services in an increasingly competitive industry.

How Government Demand Supports the StoryGovernment demand provides another important source of long-term growth beyond commercial broadband. During the first quarter, Viasat reported approximately $1.3 billion in company-wide awards and record backlog, supported by the next phase of the Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global (PTS-G) program. Management also highlighted growing government SATCOM demand and its largest-ever government opportunity pipeline, reflecting increasing demand for resilient, multi-orbit communications architectures.

Executives believe future growth will increasingly come from integrated government communications, cybersecurity, tactical networking and advanced space technologies that combine commercial and national security capabilities. These businesses could provide a more diversified revenue base while complementing the commercial opportunities created by the ViaSat-3 constellation.

How the Zacks Rank Frames This OpportunityThe stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), reflecting a balanced investment outlook as Viasat enters the next phase of its satellite expansion. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.Viasat also has a Value Score of B, Growth Score of B, Momentum Score of F and VGM Score of B. The favorable Value and Growth Scores indicate reasonable valuation characteristics and improving long-term business prospects, while the VGM Score of B reflects a balanced combination of value and growth factors. However, the Momentum Score of F suggests weaker momentum characteristics under the Zacks methodology despite the stock's recent advance.

Overall, the successful rollout of the ViaSat-3 constellation has the potential to reshape Viasat's long-term growth profile by expanding capacity across higher-value commercial and government markets. However, commercialization, customer adoption and revenue conversion remain the critical milestones investors should monitor.

Why ViaSat Stock Dropped After Earnings
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Satellite communications company ViaSat (VSAT -3.99%) stock tumbled 4.5% through 2 p.m. ET Wednesday after reporting mixed earnings last night.

As TheFly.com reports, ViaSat's fiscal Q1 2027 earnings of $0.17 per share (non-GAAP) were nearly twice the $0.09 per share that analysts expected; however, the company's revenue fell just short of the predicted $1.2 billion.

ViaSat Q1 earnings by the numbers Despite the apparent earnings beat, however, not all ViaSat's news was good. Earnings calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) were negative $52 million -- better than last year's $56 million loss, but still a loss. Sales declined 1% year over year at ViaSat, with communications services revenue flat and defense revenue declining 4%.

But not all the news was bad either. Free cash flow at ViaSat, for example, was positive despite the GAAP loss, with ViaSat generating cash profits of $72 million, a 19% year-over-year increase. ViaSat also took in $1.3 billion in new orders during the quarter, more than it recorded as sales going out the door -- and resulting in a positive book-to-bill ratio of 1.08 that implies sales growth will resume in the near future.

What's next for ViaSat stock? ViaSat noted that over the last 12 months, its total free cash flow generated is $189 million, so the jump to $72 million is significant. Still, even assuming ViaSat can maintain this level of quarterly cash generation going forward, at its current $11.1 billion market capitalization, ViaSat stock trades at nearly 59 times FCF -- and that's before accounting for its $5.2 billion in net debt. Counting that, the company's enterprise value would be closer to 86 times FCF, which seems expensive to me.

At this price, I fear ViaSat stock looks more like a sell than a buy.

Viasat Q1 Earnings Beat Estimates Despite Lower Y/Y Revenues
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways VSAT beats Q1 fiscal 2027 earnings estimates despite lower revenues and a year-over-year sales decline.Viasat reported higher contract awards, a 19% backlog increase, and lower interest expense, narrowing losses.Viasat expects mid-single-digit revenue growth and about $180 million in free cash flow for fiscal 2027. Viasat, Inc. (VSAT - Free Report) reported mixed first-quarter fiscal 2027 results, wherein the top line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate but the bottom line beat the same.

The company reported a year-over-year revenue decline, reflecting ongoing headwinds in portions of its legacy commercial services portfolio and lower IP licensing revenues. However, its bottom line improved as reduced interest expense, driven by continued debt repayment, outweighed the impact of lower revenues.

Net IncomeViasat reported a net loss of $51.7 million or a loss of 38 cents per share compared with a net loss of $56.4 million or a loss of 43 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. The narrower loss was due to lower interest expense during the quarter.

Excluding non-recurring items, Viasat reported non-GAAP net income of $24.5 million or 17 cents per share compared with $23.1 million or 17 cents per share in the prior-year period. The bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 10 cents.

RevenuesRevenues declined to $1.16 billion from $1.17 billion. The figure missed the consensus estimate of $1.2 billion. Product revenues were $324.1 million, down from $344.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Net sales from Service increased to $832.4 million from $826.4 million a year ago.

Revenues from the Communication Services segment were $825.1 million, down from $827.4 million in the prior-year quarter. The marginal revenue decline reflected lower contributions from residential fixed broadband and maritime services, which offset continued growth in aviation and government Satellite Communications. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA decreased to $311.3 million from $321.5 million.

Revenues from the Defense and Advanced Technologies (DAT) segment were $331.5 million, down 4% year over year, primarily due to weaker contributions from Advanced Technologies & Other and Space and Mission Systems, despite strong Tactical Networking growth. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $69.9 million from $86.9 million in the year-ago quarter.

Other DetailsIn the June quarter, Viasat reported an operating income of $47.3 million compared with $46.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $381.1 million, down from $408.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The net contract awards increased to $1.3 billion from $1.18 billion a year ago, while the backlog increased 19% year over year to $4.22 billion.

Cash Flow & LiquidityDuring the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Viasat generated an operating cash flow of $260.6 million compared with $258.5 million in the prior-year period. As of June 30, 2026, the company had $1.74 billion in cash and cash equivalents, with a net debt of $4.83 billion.

OutlookFor fiscal 2027, management expects mid-single-digit revenue growth and flat to slightly up adjusted EBITDA year over year. Viasat anticipates the Communication Services segment’s low single-digit year-over-year revenue performance, due to continued growth in aviation services, offset by a decline in FS&O. DAT revenue growth is anticipated to be in the mid-teens, primarily driven by strong growth in information security and cyber defense, as well as space and mission systems and tactical networking.

Capital expenditure is expected to be between $950 million and $1 billion (including approximately $250-$300 million for Inmarsat-related capital expenditures). The company’s operating cash flow is expected to be flat year over year, and the free cash flow is anticipated to be approximately $180 million (excluding the benefit of the Ligado lump sum payments, as they are non-recurring).

Viasat Q1 Earnings Call Centers on DAT Growth & ViaSat-3
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways Viasat's Q1 DAT awards rose 22% to a record $524 million, while backlog climbed 32% to $1.4 billion.VSAT kept fiscal 2027 guidance unchanged, with stronger second-half revenues and EBITDA expected.VSAT expects both ViaSat-3 satellites to enter service by September 2026, supporting mobility growth. Viasat, Inc. (VSAT - Free Report) used its first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings call to emphasize accelerating Defense and Advanced Technologies awards, the near-term entry of two ViaSat-3 satellites into service and cash generation.

VSAT’s fiscal first-quarter non-GAAP earnings of 17 cents per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 10 cents by 70%. However, revenues of $1.16 billion missed the $1.20 billion consensus. Free cash flow rose 19% to $72 million, and net leverage improved 0.4x to 3.2x.

Management kept its outlook unchanged despite pressure from fixed broadband, maritime and lower IP licensing revenues. The key issue is whether backlog and new capacity can drive the stronger second half executives expect.

VSAT Leans on DAT AwardsChairman and CEO Mark Dankberg presented DAT awards as a leading indicator for recurring government services. He highlighted the Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global win as evidence of demand for integrated space technology and operations.

DAT awards rose 22% to a record $524 million, while backlog increased 32% to $1.4 billion. The segment posted a 1.6x book-to-bill ratio despite a 4% revenue decline.

A Morgan Stanley analyst asked how PTS-G could ramp. CFO Garrett Chase said backlog includes the firm base order, not options, and revenues will use percentage-of-completion accounting. Dankberg said later orders could cover more satellites or new generations.

Viasat Holds Its FY27 OutlookChase maintained guidance for mid-single-digit revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA that is flat to up slightly, with stronger second-half performance expected. Communication Services should grow in the low single digits, while DAT should rise in the mid-teens.

Capital expenditures remain targeted at $950 million to $1 billion, including $250 million to $300 million for Inmarsat. Free cash flow guidance stays near $180 million, and management expects net leverage to decline slightly.

VSAT Positions ViaSat-3 for Mobility GrowthDankberg said Flight 2 completed deployments and bus testing, with service expected by September 2026. Flight 3 entered in-orbit testing and is expected to begin Asia-Pacific service in late August or early September.

He said the satellites should improve bandwidth productivity, geographic flexibility, resilience and utilization. Management identified aviation, maritime and government mobility as the main near-term uses.

A Raymond James analyst asked how capacity would serve customers. Dankberg said growth should come from more connected platforms and higher usage per platform, especially in aviation and government, with some capacity directed to fixed markets.

Viasat Addresses Aviation and Maritime FrictionChase said aviation revenues increased 11%, with 4,530 commercial aircraft in service, up 10%. He expects higher average revenue per aircraft, while unit counts remain near first-quarter levels amid transitions to a competing provider.

Maritime revenues declined 7%. Viasat ended the quarter with more than 1,700 NexusWave vessels in service and an order book above 1,400 vessels, but management acknowledged installation delays and uneven indirect-channel incentives.

Fixed services revenues fell 27% as U.S. broadband subscribers declined to 115,000. Chase expects stabilization after Flight 2 enters service. Government SATCOM offset some pressure, with revenue growth accelerating to 10%.

VSAT Keeps Strategic Options OpenA JPMorgan analyst pressed management on the DAT review. Dankberg said separation remains under evaluation, but called it a one-way decision that should wait until Viasat understands how integrated capabilities affect contract wins.

A Deutsche Bank analyst asked why Equatys was absent from the shareholder letter. Dankberg said the company’s stance was unchanged and the next major disclosure would be tied to funding the initial satellite constellation.

An Oppenheimer analyst questioned S-band and L-band strategy. Dankberg emphasized existing safety missions, rising bandwidth needs and direct-to-device opportunities while making no commitment to sell, lease or retain spectrum.

Viasat Focuses on Cash and ExecutionManagement’s tone was confident on DAT, government SATCOM and ViaSat-3, but measured on legacy services where fixed broadband, maritime execution and competition remain pressure points.

Dankberg and Chase returned to three priorities: capture higher-growth awards, convert new capacity into recurring services and use cash generation to reduce leverage while lowering capital intensity.

What Zacks Signals Say About VSATVSAT currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), a neutral near-term earnings-estimate-revision signal. Its B Value Score, B Growth Score and B VGM Score indicate favorable characteristics in those styles, while the F Momentum Score reflects weak price-trend timing.

Style Scores complement the Zacks Rank, with the strongest historical combinations centered on Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) stocks paired with A or B scores. The Zacks Rank can change as analysts revise estimates following the just-reported results.

Original source text
Viasat's Orbiting Profits: Space Force Jackpot?Viasat NASDAQ: VSAT reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 results that included positive free cash flow, rising government satellite communications revenue and record awards and backlog in its Defense & Advanced Technologies segment, while legacy fixed broadband and maritime businesses remained under pressure.

Revenue totaled $1.2 billion, down about 1% from the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $381 million, down 7%, while net loss improved by $5 million to $52 million, principally because of lower interest expense, Chief Financial Officer Gary Chase said. The company maintained its fiscal 2027 outlook for mid-single-digit revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA ranging from flat to slightly higher, and approximately $180 million in free cash flow.

3 Satellite Stocks To Check Out Before SpaceX's IPOChase said comparisons with the prior year were affected by Viasat's sale of its Navarino equity interest and lower intellectual-property licensing revenue. Together, those items reduced year-over-year EBITDA comparisons by $22 million. Excluding those effects, revenue would have been flat and adjusted EBITDA would have been roughly unchanged, he said.

Cash flow and leverage improve Viasat generated $72 million in free cash flow during the quarter, excluding roughly $30 million in cash taxes related to the Navarino sale. The result represented a 19% increase from the previous year and was supported by operating cash flow of $291 million, up 13%. Capital expenditures rose 11% to $219 million.

Small-Cap Standouts: These 3 Stocks Rose Over 300% in 2025“The first quarter is typically our toughest cash quarter given annual bonus payments,” Chase said, adding that he was pleased with the company’s cash generation.

Net debt relative to trailing EBITDA was approximately 3.2 times, improving 0.4 turns from the prior-year period. Chase also said Viasat moved an additional $100 million in cash from Inmarsat to Viasat during the quarter, bringing the cumulative amount transferred to $450 million.

For the full fiscal year, the company expects consolidated capital expenditures of $950 million to $1 billion. That includes about $400 million of maintenance spending, more than $150 million of capitalized interest, approximately $50 million related to ViaSat-3, up to $150 million of success-based spending, and $225 million to $250 million in growth capital expenditures.

Defense awards and government SATCOM growth Company-wide awards rose 10% to about $1.3 billion, while backlog increased nearly 19% to $4.2 billion. Defense & Advanced Technologies, or DAT, awards increased 22% to $524 million, led by Space and Mission Systems and Tactical Networking. DAT backlog rose 32% from the previous year.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mark Dankberg highlighted the company’s win for the next phase of the Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global program. He said the award reflected demand for multi-orbit national security capabilities and Viasat’s ability to combine space technology, mission systems and dual-use satellite services.

DAT revenue declined 4% to $331 million, primarily due to lower IP licensing revenue and declines in Space and Mission Systems. However, Tactical Networking revenue rose 36%, driven by tactical communications products and TrellisWare international product sales. Chase said Viasat expects strong fiscal-year growth in encryption, Space and Mission Systems, and Tactical Networking despite first-quarter timing issues.

Government SATCOM services revenue within Communication Services increased 10%, supported by greater usage from U.S. and international government customers. Dankberg said the company expects technology development and operational demonstration contracts in DAT to create opportunities for both government and commercial recurring satellite services over time.

Communication Services shows mixed performance Communication Services revenue was flat at $825 million, as growth in aviation and government SATCOM offset declines in residential fixed broadband and maritime. Segment adjusted EBITDA declined 3% to $311 million, reflecting weakness in Fixed Services and Other, maritime pressure and the absence of Navarino’s prior-year contribution.

Aviation revenue increased 11%. Viasat ended the quarter with about 4,530 commercial aircraft in service, up 10% year over year, and approximately 850 commercial aircraft in its in-flight connectivity backlog. The company expects aviation revenue growth to continue as more customers adopt full fast free offerings, raising average revenue per aircraft, although aircraft unit counts are expected to remain near the first-quarter ending level.

Maritime revenue declined 7% as vessels in service fell. Viasat had more than 1,700 NexusWave vessels in service and an order book exceeding 1,400 vessels. Management said it is working to improve installation rates and distribution arrangements, while expecting the NexusWave installed base to grow significantly.

Fixed Services and Other revenue fell 27% as U.S. fixed-broadband subscribers continued to decline. Viasat ended the quarter with 115,000 subscribers and average revenue per user of $111. Chase said the company expects fixed broadband declines to continue until after ViaSat-3 Flight 2 enters service.

ViaSat-3 deployments advance Dankberg said Viasat completed all bus deployment and in-orbit testing activities for ViaSat-3 Flight 2. Subsequent to quarter-end, the company completed reflector and boom deployment for ViaSat-3 Flight 3, which entered in-orbit testing ahead of anticipated Asia-Pacific service entry in late August or early September.

The new Ka-band satellites are intended to support broadband connectivity in aviation, maritime, government mobility and fixed markets. Dankberg said the company expects growth in aviation and government markets to be driven by both a rising number of connected platforms and greater bandwidth consumption per platform.

Management also discussed its Equatys initiative, saying the next major disclosure is expected to concern funding for an initial satellite constellation. Dankberg said the L- and S-band constellation could materially expand capacity for mobile satellite services applications, including direct-to-device, government, unmanned vehicle and safety-related uses.

Viasat said its strategic review remains ongoing. Dankberg said management is evaluating how to maximize shareholder value from its DAT business and spectrum assets, but does not want to make a premature separation decision while competitive and geopolitical conditions continue to evolve.

ViaSat (VSAT) Q1 Earnings Surpass Estimates
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
ViaSat (VSAT - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.17 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.1 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.17 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +70.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this provider of satellite and wireless networking technology would post earnings of $0.25 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.02, delivering a surprise of -108%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

ViaSat, which belongs to the Zacks Wireless Equipment industry, posted revenues of $1.16 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.55%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.17 billion. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

ViaSat shares have added about 135.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 11%.

What's Next for ViaSat?While ViaSat has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for ViaSat was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is breakeven on $1.19 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.30 on $4.87 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Wireless Equipment is currently in the top 28% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, Motorola (MSI - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 5.

This communications equipment maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $3.86 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +8.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.2% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.

Motorola's revenues are expected to be $3 billion, up 8.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Viasat Stock Hits the Brakes After Q1 Report — Here's Why
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
VSAT stock is moving. Watch the price action here. Viasat Q2 Details      Viasat reported quarterly earnings of 17 cents per share, which beat the consensus estimate for losses of 30 cents, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Quarterly revenue came in at $1.16 billion, which missed the Street estimate of $1.2 billion and was down from $1.17 billion in the same period last year. 

Viasat said the revenue decline primarily reflected a 4% year-over-year decrease in the Defense and Advanced Technology segment, while the Communication Services segment revenue remained flat year-over-year.

“The first quarter of fiscal year 2027 was marked by disciplined execution, operational progress — including on the ViaSat-3 (VS-3) satellites — and strong awards in growing business areas that reinforce our confidence in targeting new markets, our competitive positions, and our ongoing growth prospects,” said CEO Mark Dankberg.

VSAT Stock Price Activity: According to data from Benzinga Pro, Viasat stock was down 7.66% to $79.56 in Tuesday’s extended trading.

Viasat Set to Report Q1 Results: Can Revenue Growth Lift Earnings?
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways VSAT is expected to post higher Q1 fiscal 2027 revenues, led by commercial aviation and government demand.Viasat's ViaSat-3 F3 rollout is expected to expand Asia-Pacific capacity and support connectivity services.VSAT may face earnings pressure from satellite investments, financing costs and competitive markets. Viasat, Inc. (VSAT - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter fiscal 2027 results on Aug. 4, after the closing bell. It pulled off a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 498.46%, on average, beating estimates on the previous three occasions and missing once.

The company is expected to record year-over-year revenue growth, driven by strength in its commercial aviation and government businesses, supported by the commercial rollout of ViaSat-3 F3. However, higher satellite network investments, elevated capital spending and financing costs are likely to have weighed on the bottom line.

Factors at PlayDuring the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Viasat is expected to have benefited from the commercialization of ViaSat-3 F3, which expands network capacity across the Asia-Pacific region. The satellite is likely to have supported service revenues by enabling additional aviation, maritime, enterprise and government connectivity services, while strengthening the company's global broadband capabilities.

During the quarter under review, continued execution of the Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global (PTS-G) Program Swarm 1 Delivery Order is expected to have boosted Viasat's government business. Ongoing work under the United States Space Force contract is likely to have supported demand for the company's secure dual-band satellite communication systems, contributing positively to defense revenues.

Viasat's commercial aviation business is expected to have delivered a solid performance during the quarter, supported by the continued rollout of its in-flight connectivity solution across Jetstar's long-range international fleet. Growing adoption of its next-generation cockpit connectivity service by airlines is likely to have generated higher aviation revenues.

Despite top-line growth, Viasat's earnings might have remained under pressure amid intense competition in the communications and defense markets. Management expects aviation revenue growth to moderate in fiscal 2027, while any delays in regulatory approvals or the commercial ramp-up of the ViaSat-3 satellites could postpone capacity expansion and weigh on broadband revenue growth. In addition, uncertainty surrounding the U.S. government budget remains a potential headwind for the defense business, as it could affect contract awards and revenue generation.

For the June quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for total revenues is pegged at $1.20 billion, indicating an increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure of $1.17 billion. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at 10 cents per share, indicating a decline from 17 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.

Earnings WhispersOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Viasat for the first quarter of fiscal 2027. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. However, that is not the case here.

SpaceX Needs Growth
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Listen to the audio version of this article (generated by AI).

Tom Yeung here with your Sunday Digest.

Imagine you own a small, successful restaurant chain. A couple of neighborhood locations with dedicated fans and decent lines that are never too long or too short. Life is great.

Then, your whole town decides your business is worth $250 million… and hands you $15 million to go prove it.

That’s probably why Elon Musk seems so frazzled in recent interviews. The world’s richest man was essentially given the same mandate by investors in Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SPCX), scaled many times larger.

The mammoth initial public offering raised $85 billion in cash for his company… and investors are now demanding that the company be worth somewhere north of $1.5 trillion.

To fulfill that promise, Musk is implementing a familiar Big Tech tactic: Use acquisitions to juice internal growth. In early June, SEC filings revealed Musk had personally spent at least $1 billion to buy APR Energy, a company focused on powering AI data centers. Then on June 16, SpaceX bought AI coding platform Cursor for $60 billion – a roughly 100% premium to that startup’s last private valuation.

SpaceX will continue snapping up companies… and many will be public firms investors like you can buy before it happens. I will discuss the seven most likely publicly traded candidates below.

Of course, others will be privately owned, like Cursor was. InvestorPlace Senior Analyst Luke Lango can help you get in on these earlier-stage deals. In a new free presentation, The 2026 Megadeal Event, he lays out his method for spotting these targets and step-by-step instructions for buying them before everyone else gets in.

Click here to watch that free presentation.

And now, the seven public companies I think SpaceX has in its acquisition crosshairs.

Tier 1: “I’d Be Surprised If They Don’t Happen” Tesla Inc. (TSLA): The most obvious SpaceX acquisition is more of a family reunion. On July 22, Elon Musk told investors on Tesla’s earnings call that “there’s more and more overlap” between his two companies. Betting markets are giving a 64% chance of an acquisition by the end of 2027, while some analysts say the chance could be as high as 90%.

The rationale is straightforward: A SPCX-TSLA merger would consolidate Musk’s technology empire. Tesla could supply batteries and manufacturing expertise to SpaceX’s satellites and AI infrastructure, while Starlink could provide connectivity for Tesla vehicles and humanoid robots. Most importantly, the two firms can reduce double-spending on AI research. Both companies are currently pursuing expensive AI projects (Tesla’s Robotaxis, xAI’s large language models), and putting them under one roof would give them better access to computing power and talent.

A deal would also benefit Tesla shareholders, because Musk only controls around 20% of voting shares at the electric vehicle maker (vs. 80%-85% at SpaceX). He would have to offer a relatively hefty premium to Tesla’s shareholders – probably between $420 (ha!) and $500 per share – because Tesla shareholders would be losing both future upside and voting power at the new entity. (Musk can then unilaterally approve the deal at SpaceX.) Of course, Tesla remains a risky bet that I still avoid, but the possibility of a SpaceX takeover should stop anyone from betting against this stock.

EchoStar Corp. (ECHO): In September 2025, this telecom and satellite company negotiated a deal with SpaceX to exchange some of its satellite spectrum for SpaceX stock. Think of satellite spectrum like an FM radio frequency; a company must “own” a channel to use it. EchoStar had plenty of unused spectrum through Dish Network, and SpaceX needed it for Starlink. SpaceX paid with a mix of cash and its own stock and bought even more two months later.

Now, those same SpaceX shares are worth over $30 billion, or almost two-thirds of EchoStar’s entire enterprise value – the company’s market value plus its debt.

That makes EchoStar an unusually attractive acquisition target for SpaceX. With a little bit of financial wizardry, SpaceX can effectively buy back those old shares using new shares and receive EchoStar’s remaining business for just $17 billion. This all-stock swap transaction would give SpaceX valuable assets worth roughly $32 billion, and include goodies like Boost Mobile, Dish TV, HughesNet, Sling TV, unused spectrum, and more.

In addition, 90% of EchoStar’s voting shares are owned by its founder, Charlie Ergen, who is now 73. His recent sales of spectrum to SpaceX – and a separate $23 billion deal with AT&T Inc. (T) – are a classic sign of a founder-owner getting ready to retire. I give it at least a 50% chance that EchoStar prepares itself for sale within a year.

Tier 2: The Strategically Obvious Anterix Inc. (ATEX): America’s “spectrum landlord” hired Morgan Stanley in early 2025 to begin a strategic review after fielding takeover interest. The company holds the country’s largest portfolio of licensed 900-megahertz (MHz) spectrum – the airwaves used for land-based networks (think cellphone towers).

And if SpaceX can lay its hands on all this bandwidth, it would gain the ground-level frequencies it needs to beam Starlink service straight to everyday devices. No dish or special antenna required.

Conveniently, Morgan Stanley is also the primary bank involved in financing Tesla and SpaceX. An acquisition could be negotiated in a swivel chair.

Now, Anterix is a less likely candidate for acquisition than EchoStar because some of its spectrum is already used by local utilities and telecom firms. Regulators might also balk at giving SpaceX so much bandwidth. So, it is not as “clean” a purchase. But Anterix’s relatively low price and vast spectrum holdings make it something SpaceX might be willing to fight for. I give it a 1-in-3 chance that SpaceX makes a bid by the end of 2027.

GitLab Inc. (GTLB): Now, here is a company I would recommend for buy-and-hold investors.

GitLab is a firm that helps its customers build and manage software. And it is an unusually well-suited target for SpaceX because Musk’s company already owns the other pieces.

Think of the software business like a textbook publishing company. There might be dozens of authors, editors, and quality-control analysts. Then there’s book printing, distribution, and follow-up for the next edition. After all, no textbook is perfect the first time around.

SpaceX already has the first parts nailed down. Grok Build is a coding engine, and Cursor is a developer workspace. It also has Colossus, the giant AI supercomputer that acts like the printing press that churns out finished work at an industrial scale.

What’s missing is everything that happens in between. Someone has to check each chapter for errors, get the book out the door, track which copies are in circulation, and manage the corrections that inevitably pile up for the second edition.

In software, that’s GitLab’s job. The company’s platform does the unglamorous back-office work that turns a pile of coding “manuscripts” into a publishing business. It is also already FedRAMP compliant (the gold standard for the government and its contractors), which fits in well with SpaceX’s U.S. government work.

In addition, GitLab is a perfect acquisition target because it is both cheap and willing to sell itself. Shares are worth just $5.5 billion (a rounding error for SpaceX’s cash pile) and explored a sale in 2024 to Datadog Inc. (DDOG).

I also give GitLab a 1-in-3 chance of getting bought by Elon Musk’s firm.

Tier 3: The Moonshot Bets Viasat (VSAT): Viasat is one of the best strategic fits for SpaceX, but also the most likely to get struck down by regulators.

In short, Viasat controls an estimated $15 billion worth of “L-band” spectrum – the low  frequencies that act as an “emergency lane” in satellite communications. This band is great at passing through clouds and is very dependable on moving ships, aircraft, and cars. However, there is very little L-band spectrum available, so it is usually reserved for critical situations.

SpaceX would almost certainly love to own this bandwidth. The company could offer Starlink’s higher-frequency “Ku” and “Ka” bands for speed, and switch to L-band whenever a cloud passes by. The company would also pick up Viasat’s customers and regulatory approvals. I would, however, only give SpaceX a 1-in-6 chance to make a move, given the number of governments that might oppose a deal.

6. Gogo Inc. (GOGO). Gogo is the name for in-flight Wi-Fi for private jets. The company serves roughly two-thirds of that market and has a nationwide backup network that uses ground towers for whenever satellite connection is obstructed.

An acquisition would accelerate Starlink’s move into business jets. Gogo already has sales agreements with every major business aircraft maker, and has its equipment installed on more than 7,000 aircraft. Starlink has been fighting hard for market share, so an acquisition would free up precious resources for other ventures. Gogo’s shares are also quite cheap – down 75% in the past year – and the company comes with the ground-based backup network that SpaceX might like to have.

Like Viasat, I give Gogo a 1-in-6 chance of getting acquired.

SentinelOne Inc. (S): Last week, I wrote how Alphabet Inc.’s (GOOGL) $32 billion blockbuster acquisition of digital security firm Wiz was a sign of more cybersecurity acquisitions to come. AI data centers need to protect their users, and some providers are moving this service in-house.

SpaceX might be tempted to do this as well as it builds out AI tools for business. And one of the most obvious cybersecurity firms it could buy is SentinelOne, which lands in the “Goldilocks” zone for a takeover.

It’s not too big like CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (CRWD), which serves 60% of the Fortune 500. SpaceX is probably not interested in becoming a full-blown cybersecurity provider.

And it’s not too small like Rapid7 Inc. (RPD), which offers too narrow a product lineup to protect AI data centers on its own.

Instead, SentinelOne is just right because it offers a wide enough product range without threatening to eclipse SpaceX’s AI ambitions. Its Singularity Platform is considered a one-stop shop for threat detection and response.

Best of all, SentinelOne is a company I would be willing to recommend at current prices. Its business has a relatively wide moat, and its Singularity Platform is best-in-class. So, even if no offer ever comes, the company should keep growing on its own. Either way, shareholders win.

Getting in on the Ground Floor It’s usually quite wonderful to own a publicly traded company that is getting bought out. Most buyers will offer a premium of about 30% to pre-deal share prices, and high-growth companies usually get better sweeteners.

Anyone who owned Slack before its 2020 acquisition by Salesforce Inc. (CRM), for instance, would have earned a 55% return from the pre-rumor price.

It’s even better to own an unlisted startup when buyers come knocking. Cursor’s 100% premium was quite low compared with other purchases like Alphabet’s acquisition of Wiz (167% premium) and Okta Inc.’s (OKTA) bid for Auth0 (239%). These smaller firms know they are trophy assets, and so will demand a price tag to suit them. Even the most ardent buy-and-hold investors have a price they should be willing to sell at.

In his latest presentation, 2026 Megadeal Event, Luke walks us through exactly how to identify and buy these deals… even if they aren’t on the market yet. If SpaceX keeps shopping at this pace, the next megadeal may already be in the works.

Lumen Technologies vs. Viasat: Which Data Network Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
The digital world depends on physical infrastructure, whether it is fiber cables in the ground or satellites in orbit. Lumen Technologies (LUMN 0.70%) and Viasat Inc (VSAT 1.99%) are both undergoing major transformations to meet this demand.

Lumen is pivoting toward high-bandwidth fiber and artificial intelligence infrastructure for businesses, while Viasat provides critical satellite-based connectivity to remote locations and moving vehicles. These companies represent two distinct ways to invest in global communication stocks landscape. This comparison examines their current financials and risk profiles to determine which best fits your portfolio.

The case for Lumen TechnologiesLumen Technologies operates as a global communications provider focusing on edge cloud, cybersecurity, and networking solutions for enterprise and public sector clients. Following the February 2026 divestiture of its Mass Markets Fiber-to-the-Home business to AT&T (T +2.33%), the company has shifted its focus away from residential consumers. Its current strategy relies heavily on its unified digital platform and the integration of cloud-native networking from its acquisition of Alkira.

In FY 2025, revenue was $12.4 billion, reflecting a year-over-year decline of approximately 5%. The company reported a net loss of nearly $1.7 billion, much wider than its 2024 loss. This shows pressure as the business transitions away from legacy services and builds out its newer fiber-based offerings.

Lumen has $13.25 billion in debt and $1.6 billion in cash on hand, meaning its total liabilities could be a burden on shares. Free cash flow, which is the cash remaining after a company funds its operations and capital investments, reached nearly $1.4 billion for the year.

The case for ViasatViasat provides satellite-based connectivity services to the aviation, maritime, and energy markets across more than 70 countries. Its primary customer is the U.S. government, which accounted for approximately 16% of fiscal year 2026 revenue. Customer concentration like this adds a layer of risk to the business. The company is currently focused on expanding its in-flight services, which already support nearly 4,580 aircraft, and growing its presence with the U.S. Space Force.

For FY 2026, which ended May, revenue reached roughly $4.6 billion, representing growth of approximately 3% over the previous year. It reported a net loss of approximately $34 million. While still reporting a loss, the narrower loss compared to previous years suggests progress in managing its heavy satellite deployment costs.

Viasat had a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.5x as of March 2026, which compares its total debt to its shareholders’ equity. During the fiscal year, the company generated approximately $597 million in free cash flow, representing the cash left over after accounting for necessary capital expenditures.

Risk profile comparisonLumen faces significant debt challenges that require ongoing restructuring, limiting its ability to invest in growth. The company is also experiencing a systemic decline in legacy voice and data revenue, making its transition to modern fiber services critical. Furthermore, its role as a network provider exposes it to sophisticated cybersecurity threats and potential service disruptions that could harm its long-term reputation.

Viasat relies heavily on contracts with the U.S. government, meaning any policy changes or budget cuts could impact its revenue. Operating in space also brings physical risks, as satellite malfunctions or collisions are possible and might not be fully covered by insurance. Additionally, the company manages nearly $7 billion in debt and faces intense competition from well-capitalized rivals such as Amazon.com Inc (AMZN +0.30%).

Valuation comparisonLumen appears cheaper based on its P/S ratio, which compares stock price to revenue. Both companies lack a Forward P/E, which measures price against future earnings estimates.

MetricLumen TechnologiesViasatSector BenchmarkForward P/En/an/a16.6xP/S ratio0.5x2xn/aSector benchmark uses the SPDR XLC sector ETF.
Valuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.

It’s been tough sledding for Lumen. First-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue declined 5% after excluding the residential fiber network sale to AT&T. Business segment revenue declined 3%, continuing a recent trend. The firm generated $380 million of free cash flow during the quarter, but announced no new fiber infrastructure agreements. Fiber deals come in bunches, so not having one in the first quarter isn’t necessarily terrible, but combined with the sharp declines in its traditional business lines, it suggests caution is warranted.

There is hope, however, thanks to the Alkira acquisition. A huge amount of enterprise data today is transferred over the public Internet, which means more network hops, which are slower and less secure than the private worldwide market Lumen can now offer. If the business can find enterprises that value security and privacy, that will provide a real source of growth.

Viasat, meanwhile, closed out its fiscal 2026 with strong free cash flow even as it invested heavily in long-term projects. That includes developing and deploying shared, multi-tenant, multi-orbit L- and S-band infrastructure. That will allow Viasat to offer global flight and maritime safety, enable next-generation air, ground, and maritime vehicle autonomy, and offer mobile direct-to-device opportunities, with a focus on lowering capital intensity. The business aims to offer those services in 2029.

Closer in Viasat is expected to post fiscal 2026 sales of about $4.9 billion, up about 5%, though with a wider net loss of $225 million or so due to capital investments.

Both businesses are positioning themselves for a brighter future. However, Viasat seems to be in tune with trends toward more data services being handled by satellite, while Lumen is still aiming to hit on a terrestrial data network business model that works. For investors looking for the better buy in 2026, Viasat is the choice.

Viasat demonstrates first integrated automotive satellite voice call capability with BMW Group
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Viasat experts demonstrate satellite-enabled voice call capabilities as part of research collaboration 
during this week’s 5G Automotive Association Meeting Week in Munich, Germany: for the first time integrated with the infotainment system of a BMW iX3.

Showcase highlights what might be possible in future and the potential for reliable voice and messaging connectivity beyond the reach of traditional terrestrial networks.

MUNICH, July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Viasat, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global leader in satellite communications, today announced a landmark technology demonstration showcasing the first automotive satellite voice call demonstration fully integrated into a BMW Group vehicle’s platform.

It marks a significant step forward as Viasat brings Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) communications into the connected vehicle ecosystem: enabling drivers and passengers to stay connected in remote or underserved areas where cellular coverage may be limited or unavailable.

Building on an earlier demonstration with eSIM capabilities from Cubic³, a leading provider of software-defined vehicle (SDV) solutions, Viasat experts in Munich utilized advanced technology including Qualcomm Technologies Inc.’s Snapdragon® Auto 5G Modem-RF Gen 2 solution, and the Fraunhofer IIS NESC AI voice codec. This enables voice communications to be sent using the NB-IoT communications protocol over Viasat’s highly reliable, L-band satellite network.

For the first time, this technology was integrated with BMW Group’s in-vehicle architecture, allowing voice calls to be initiated and managed directly through the vehicle interface. By extending messaging and voice services beyond cellular coverage, automakers like BMW Group can ensure drivers remain connected for emergency assistance and critical safety applications, regardless of location.

“This demonstration reflects broader industry excitement to ensure consistent, resilient satellite capabilities for next-generation vehicles,” said Sandeep Moorthy, Senior Vice President, Advanced Non-Terrestrial Solutions at Viasat. “By bringing standards-based NTN to vehicles, we can integrate satellite voice and messaging and ultimately enable a future where drivers can remain connected — wherever the journey takes them.”

Viasat, BMW Group, Cubic3, and Fraunhofer IIS are active members of the 5GAA (5G Automotive Association), which brings together technology and automotive partners to develop real-world, scalable connectivity solutions for all road users. Satellite-enabled automotive connectivity applications include voice and messaging emergency services, fleet management, and over-the-air updates in low-connectivity regions.

The NB-IoT protocol, which can support lower data-rate applications, is enabled by global 3GPP standards. Future releases are expected to pave the way for 5G-New Radio (5G-NR) satellite services, which could support video streaming and seamless roaming between terrestrial and satellite networks.

Why Viasat Stock Went to the Moon Today
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Rocket Lab (RKLB +11.43%) is buying Iridium Communications (IRDM +21.99%) for $8 billion, as the two space companies just announced -- and it's getting investors in other space stocks pretty excited this morning.

Viasat (VSAT +19.84%) stock, for example, isn't involved in the RKLB-IRDM deal at all, but as of 10:50 a.m. ET it's already up 17.1% -- even more than Rocket Lab's 9.2% bump, and nearly as much as Iridium's 20.7% gain!

Image source: Getty Images.

Details, please Rocket Lab will pay $8 billion in cash and stock to acquire the original satellite phone company, Iridium, and expand its business beyond mainly space launch and satellite construction to include Internet of Things (IoT), aviation, maritime, and Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) services.

Viasat isn't involved in the merger -- except that it kind of is.

What the Rocket Lab-Iridium tie-up means for Viasat As a communications satellite company, Viasat competes directly with Iridium, and also with the Starlink network at SpaceX (SPCX +2.60%) -- with which Rocket Lab will now also be competing. You wouldn't ordinarily think this kind of increased competition would be good news for Viasat's business, which saw profits drop 29% last quarter, and grew its sales only 2%!

From this perspective, Viasat's share price spike today doesn't make much sense.

That said, in comments on the Iridium acquisition, Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck highlighted the attraction of Iridium's wireless spectrum holdings. Viasat has those, too, and this could make it a future merger target, especially as the space industry restructures and consolidates to take on the threat of a bigger, wealthier SpaceX.

Rocket Lab CEO Sir Peter Beck explains why the acquisition of Iridium is so crucial:

"If you want to do large scale communications globally, you must have spectrum. And for us, this deal really enables us to accelerate our entry into this market."

Viasat's Orbiting Profits: Space Force Jackpot?
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Global defense budgets are undergoing a significant reallocation. Capital that historically flowed into terrestrial armor and traditional naval assets is rapidly moving upward. Space is the ultimate military high ground, and securing highly contested orbital environments has become a primary objective for the Department of Defense.

When the U.S. Space Force allocates capital, it tends to signal long-term, structural shifts in how the military communicates and operates.

As of 06/12/2026 04:00 PM Eastern

52-Week Range$11.44▼

$89.79Price Target$77.13

This macro shift crystallized recently when Viasat NASDAQ: VSAT secured a lucrative prime contract under the Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global program, commonly known as PTS-G.

The program carries a $4 billion Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity ceiling across participating vendors.

Under the Swarm 1 Delivery Order, Viasat and Intelsat split an initial $437.7 million allocation to develop and operate the first two maneuverable, anti-jam mini-GEO satellites.

These assets are engineered specifically for tactical, highly contested environments where adversaries actively attempt to disrupt communications. While commercial low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations provide immense civilian bandwidth, they travel in highly predictable paths. The Pentagon requires specialized, maneuverable assets in higher orbits to ensure resilient connectivity when terrestrial or lower-orbit systems are subjected to sophisticated electronic warfare.

Viasat will produce a dual-band X/Ka-band satellite leveraging the proprietary technology already developed for its commercial fleet.

Expected to achieve initial operating capability in 2029, this mandate provides Viasat with highly predictable, counter-cyclical revenue streams. The contract goes beyond hardware, bundling the necessary ground infrastructure with five years of sustainment covering cybersecurity, network operations, and telemetry.

Unlocking Billions in Buried Defense ValueThe broader market has traditionally valued satellite communication firms as capital-intensive telecom sector service providers. However, defense pure-play contractors can command significantly higher, more stable valuation multiples due to the reliability of government spending.

Following its $7.3 billion acquisition of Inmarsat in 2023, Viasat fundamentally altered its revenue mix. Enterprise and government contracts now account for roughly 75% of total revenue.

Fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings reported on May 28 highlighted this shift, with total revenue hitting $1.17 billion. Growth was distinctly led by strength in government systems and commercial aviation, proving that institutional demand for secure, high-throughput connectivity is aggressively outpacing the decline in legacy residential broadband. Within Communication Services, aviation and government satellite communications service revenue helped offset pressure in fixed broadband and other legacy categories.

Institutional investors are acutely aware of this valuation mismatch. Carronade Capital, an activist investment firm, recently took an aggressive stance to force Viasat to recognize this underlying value. In early May 2026, Viasat entered a cooperation agreement with Carronade, appointing Shekar Ayyar and Jinhy Yoon to a newly formed Strategic Review Committee.

Carronade's underlying thesis presents a compelling mathematical argument. Their internal models suggest that structurally spinning off the defense unit could unlock up to $11 billion in stranded shareholder value. By isolating the high-margin, recession-resilient government revenue streams from the broader commercial business, a standalone defense entity would likely undergo a rapid multiple expansion to align with traditional tier-one defense contractors.

Viasat currently trades at a highly compressed price-to-sales multiple of just over 2, leaving substantial runway for a rerating if the strategic review results in a structural separation.

Understanding Viasat's fundamentals requires looking past its trailing profitability metrics.

Viasat recently reported a trailing net margin of negative 0.73% and carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.35.

In isolation, those numbers suggest operational friction.

But when placed in the context of the satellite industry's lifecycle, they indicate a business that has just finished the hardest part of its growth phase.

Deploying a global satellite constellation requires billions of dollars in upfront capital expenditures before a single byte of data generates revenue.

Viasat has carried the immense financial weight of building the ViaSat-3 fleet for years. That heavy lifting ended on April 29, 2026, when a SpaceX Falcon Heavy successfully launched the ViaSat-3 F3 payload into orbit.

This successful deployment finalizes the global constellation and pushes Viasat over the so-called CapEx cliff. Viasat is now transitioning from an intensive infrastructure deployment phase into a period focused entirely on sustainment and operations.

Because the new Space Force mini-GEO satellites leverage the existing ViaSat-3 architecture, research and development costs are heavily subsidized by past investments. As capital expenditures sharply decline over the coming quarters, Viasat is positioned to experience a significant free cash flow inflection. This cash generation provides the necessary liquidity to deleverage the balance sheet, improve net margins, and comfortably service its debt obligations.

The Market Sends a Bullish Signal From the GroundPrice action often precedes fundamental clarity. Viasat shares recently rose over 13% intraday to trade above $69 on volume of more than 1.79 million shares, decisively breaking near-term resistance at $65. This momentum extends a massive year-to-date expansion of 93.5%, with the stock rebounding sharply from a 52-week low of $10.82.

Viasat Inc. (VSAT) Price Chart for Sunday, June, 14, 2026

Technically, Viasat established a sustained golden cross in mid-2025. A golden cross, where the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average, often signals a long-term shift in market sentiment. By trading 43.7% above its 200-day simple moving average of $45.10, Viasat is demonstrating strong relative strength in a market that heavily penalizes balance-sheet leverage.

While retail investors might see recent insider selling, including co-founder Mark Dankberg unloading 400,000 shares, these liquidations appear to be standard liquidity events (prearranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plans), taking advantage of recent highs. The massive technical breakout, driven by institutional accumulation and declining short interest, easily overshadows the executive selling.

Short currently sits at 7.07% of the float, down 6.07% from the previous reporting period, indicating that bearish bets are actively unwinding as the defense narrative takes hold.

Viasat's Next Phase: Awaiting the Go-for-LaunchThe convergence of the $4 billion PTS-G mandate, the completion of the ViaSat-3 CapEx cycle, and targeted activist pressure creates a compelling fundamental setup.

Viasat is rapidly shedding its legacy consumer broadband provider identity and evolving into a critical partner for the Pentagon's orbital infrastructure. The market is just beginning to digest what a transition to sustained free cash flow and a potential spin-off could mean for valuation multiples.

Investors seeking exposure to the next generation of defense spending may want to add Viasat to their watchlist as the Strategic Review Committee evaluates potential structural changes and Viasat moves past its peak expenditure cycle.

The service also powers Iris, Viasat’s ground-breaking air-traffic management (ATM) program with the European Space Agency. Using satellite-based data link through SB-S, Iris is designed to support several benefits for airlines and Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs), including minimizing flight delays, saving fuel and reducing the environmental impact of air travel.

“This milestone underscores the excitement for SB-S as airlines continue to look for proven, certified connectivity to improve flight safety and operational performance – including reduced fuel consumption, lower emission, and improved on time performance,” said Joel Klooster, Senior Vice President, Aircraft Operations & Safety at Viasat. “As the service continues to grow, SB-Safety is building a durable base of long-term value for both our aviation customers, and for Viasat.”

ViaSat (VSAT) Reports Q4 Loss, Lags Revenue Estimates
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
ViaSat (VSAT - Free Report) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.02 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.25. This compares to a loss of $0.02 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -107.90%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this provider of satellite and wireless networking technology would post earnings of $0.05 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.79, delivering a surprise of +1480%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

ViaSat, which belongs to the Zacks Wireless Equipment industry, posted revenues of $1.17 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.31%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.15 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

ViaSat shares have added about 148.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.9%.

What's Next for ViaSat?While ViaSat has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for ViaSat was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.12 on $1.19 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.53 on $4.84 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Wireless Equipment is currently in the bottom 21% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, Comtech Telecommunications (CMTL - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended April 2026.

This communications company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.27 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -50%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Comtech Telecommunications' revenues are expected to be $110.21 million, down 13.1% from the year-ago quarter.

Viasat Q4 Earnings Call Highlights
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
3 Satellite Stocks To Check Out Before SpaceX's IPOViasat NASDAQ: VSAT reported record backlog, modest revenue growth and positive free cash flow for fiscal 2026, while executives said the satellite communications company is positioning for growth from new satellite capacity, defense technology programs and a planned shared space infrastructure venture.

On the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call, Chairman and CEO Mark Dankberg said fiscal 2026 results were “largely consistent” with Viasat’s expectations despite headwinds from a U.S. government shutdown in the second half of the fiscal year. He highlighted record new contract awards and backlog, record revenue and adjusted EBITDA, and “nearly $600 million in free cash flow,” including a lump-sum Ligado payment.

Small-Cap Standouts: These 3 Stocks Rose Over 300% in 2025Chief Financial Officer Gary Chase said Viasat generated fiscal 2026 revenue of $4.6 billion, a GAAP net loss of $34 million and adjusted EBITDA of $1.55 billion. Cash flow from operations was $1.6 billion, or $1.2 billion excluding the Ligado payment, while capital expenditures were just under $1 billion. Free cash flow was $597 million, or $177 million excluding the Ligado payment.

“From a cash flow point of view, our teams delivered in a big way,” Chase said, adding that Viasat produced positive free cash flow in each of the last five quarters.

Fourth-quarter awards and backlog rise Viasat: Why a Wall of Cash Has Shorts Running for CoverFor the fiscal fourth quarter, Chase said awards were about $1.3 billion, up 9% from the prior-year period, led by communication services growth in maritime, government SATCOM and aviation. Backlog reached approximately $4.1 billion, up 15%, with double-digit growth in both communication services and defense and advanced technologies, or DAT.

Quarterly revenue was $1.2 billion, up about 2%, as 12% growth in DAT was partially offset by a 2% decline in communication services. Net income was $59 million, an improvement of $305 million, which Chase attributed mainly to a gain from the sale of Viasat’s equity investment in Navarino, lower general and administrative expense and lower interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA was $370 million, down 1%, reflecting incremental research and development spending and a higher-than-expected effect from the government shutdown.

Viasat completed the divestiture of its interest in Navarino in March, receiving gross proceeds of $203 million. Chase said net debt to trailing adjusted EBITDA improved to 3.1 times, and the company paid down $743 million of debt during the year while increasing available cash.

Segment trends show aviation and DAT strength In communication services, quarterly awards increased 13% to $877 million, while revenue fell 2% to $810 million. Chase said aviation revenue rose 11%, with approximately 4,450 commercial aircraft in service at quarter-end, up 10% year over year, along with higher average revenue per aircraft. Viasat ended the quarter with a commercial aircraft unit backlog of 1,000.

Government SATCOM revenue grew 5%, supported by U.S. and international government demand. Government awards and backlog rose 18% year over year. Maritime revenue declined 1%, as vessels in service were down, though Chase said demand for NexusWave remained strong. Viasat ended the quarter with about 1,350 NexusWave vessels in service and 1,500 more in backlog.

Fixed services and other revenue declined 24% as U.S. fixed broadband subscribers continued to fall. Viasat ended the quarter with 130,000 subscribers and average revenue per user of $113.

In DAT, quarterly awards increased 2% to $403 million, driven by growth in information security and cyber defense. Revenue rose 12% to $361 million, including 24% growth in information security and cyber product revenue and 16% growth in space and mission systems. DAT adjusted EBITDA increased 20% to $83 million.

Fiscal 2027 outlook calls for mid-single-digit revenue growth For fiscal 2027, Chase said Viasat expects revenue to grow in the mid-single digits, with low-single-digit growth in communication services and mid-teens growth in DAT. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be flat to up slightly and weighted toward the back half of the year.

Chase said EBITDA comparisons will be affected by a declining contribution from an intellectual property settlement in advanced technologies and other business, along with the removal of Navarino EBITDA following the sale. Together, those items represent about a two-percentage-point headwind versus fiscal 2026.

Viasat expects reported capital expenditures of $950 million to $1 billion in fiscal 2027, including about $850 million of cash CapEx. The company expects free cash flow to be similar to fiscal 2026 levels excluding Ligado, or about $180 million.

Within communication services, Chase said aviation revenue should grow as average revenue per aircraft increases, though at a moderating rate. Maritime vessels are expected to decline modestly, but the NexusWave installed base is expected to grow significantly. Fixed broadband is expected to continue declining until ViaSat-3 enters service, after which Viasat expects stabilization. Government SATCOM is expected to grow again.

ViaSat-3 launches and Equitas plans remain central Dankberg said Viasat successfully completed all deployments on ViaSat-3 Flight 2 after quarter-end, with service entry pending FCC authorization. ViaSat-3 Flight 3 launched successfully on April 29, with radiator and solar array deployments completed and orbit raising underway. Flight 3 is expected to cover the Asia-Pacific region, arrive on station in about a month and enter service in August or September.

Dankberg said the fleet expansion is expected to roughly triple bandwidth inventory and support growth in aviation, maritime, fixed services and government SATCOM.

Executives also discussed Equitas, a shared multi-tenant, multi-orbit L- and S-band infrastructure entity being formed with Space42. Dankberg described Equitas as similar to terrestrial shared tower infrastructure, allowing multiple spectrum holders to use common space and ground infrastructure. He said Viasat expects to participate as the initial technology prime contractor and is targeting services in 2029.

In response to analyst questions, Dankberg said Viasat is not contributing spectrum to Equitas but could use its spectrum through the infrastructure. He said the company expects to provide more details on Equitas after finalizing related agreements.

Defense opportunities and strategic review Dankberg said Viasat recently received a follow-on award tied to the Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global program, or PTSG, for delivery of a small, low-cost, maneuverable dual-band geosynchronous orbit U.S. government tactical satellite. He described PTSG as an opportunity to expand Viasat’s role in government tactical space systems and services.

Asked about the strategic review of the DAT business and the potential for a spin-off, Dankberg said the core question is whether DAT is an “appreciating asset.” He said Viasat sees value in keeping dual-use technology and services together for now, particularly in areas such as PTSG, while retaining optionality.

Viasat also announced board additions during the call. Dankberg welcomed Shekar Ayyar and Jinhy Yoon, both of whom have been appointed to the company’s Board Strategic Review Committee. He also noted a cooperation agreement with Carronade Capital Management, saying Viasat believes the agreement is in the best interest of the company and its shareholders.

Viasat Q4 Earnings Miss Estimates Despite Y/Y Revenue Increase
VSAT ViaSat
FMP Stock News
Original source text
Key Takeaways VSAT's Q4 FY26 revenues rose to $1.17B but missed the $1.2B consensus estimate.VSAT swung to $58.8M net income, but a $3.2M non-GAAP net loss missed by 27 cents.VSAT's backlog rose 15% to $4.07B, with FY27 anticipating a mid-single-digit revenue growth. Viasat, Inc. (VSAT - Free Report) reported relatively lackluster fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 results, with both top and bottom lines missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

The company’s year-over-year revenue growth was driven by higher demand for satellite broadband and communication services, expanding government and defense contracts, and continued investments in advanced satellite and direct-to-device connectivity solutions. However, higher operating costs and ongoing investments in satellite infrastructure hurt its bottom line.

Net IncomeViasat reported a net income of $58.8 million, or 41 cents per share, against a net loss of $246.1 million, or a loss of $1.89 per share, in the prior-year quarter. The growth was primarily due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses and higher other income during the quarter.

Excluding non-recurring items, Viasat reported a non-GAAP net loss of $3.2 million, or a loss of 2 cents per share, compared to a net loss of $3 million, or a loss of 2 cents per share, in the prior-year period. The bottom line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 27 cents.

For 2026, the company reported a net loss of $34.1 million or a loss of 25 cents per share compared with a net loss of $575 million or a loss of $4.48 per share in 2025. Non-GAAP net income for 2026 was $143.3 million or $1.03 per share compared with $21.1 million or 16 cents per share in 2025.

RevenuesRevenues rose to $1.17 billion, up from $1.15 billion. The figure missed the consensus estimate of $1.2 billion. Product revenues were $367.6 million, up from $349.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Net sales from Service increased to $803.7 million from $797.4 million a year ago. For 2026, revenues increased to $4.64 billion from $4.52 billion in 2025.

Revenues from the Communication Services segment were $810.3 million, down from $825 million in the prior-year quarter. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA decreased to $287.3 million from $306.2 million.

Revenues from the Defense and Advanced Technologies (DAT) segment were $361 million, up 12% year over year. The growth is primarily driven by strong demand for encryption devices, next-generation cybersecurity and defense programs, and large antenna production for space-based Earth Observation and intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance missions. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $82.5 million from $68.6 million in the year-ago quarter.

Other DetailsIn the March quarter, Viasat reported an operating loss of $0.62 million compared to an operating loss of $153.8 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $369.9 million, down from $374.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The net contract awards increased to $1.28 billion from $1.17 billion a year ago, while the backlog increased 15% year over year to $4.07 billion.

Cash Flow & LiquidityDuring the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, Viasat generated an operating cash flow of $322.3 million compared with $298.4 million in the prior-year period. For 2026, the company generated $1.17 billion of cash from operating activities (excluding $420 million Ligado lump sum payment) compared with $908.2 million in 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the company had $1.75 billion in cash and cash equivalents, with a net debt of $4.84 billion compared with respective tallies of $1.61 billion and $5.59 billion a year ago.

OutlookFor fiscal 2027, management expects mid-single-digit revenue growth and slightly flat to up adjusted EBITDA year over year. Viasat anticipates the Communication Services segment’s low single-digit year-over-year revenue performance, due to continued growth in aviation services, offset by a lower rate of decline in FS&O. DAT revenue growth is anticipated to be in the mid-teens, primarily driven by strong growth in information security and cyber defense, as well as space and mission systems and tactical networking. Capital expenditure is forecasted to be between $950 million and $1 billion (includes approximately $325 million for Inmarsat-related capital expenditures). The company’s operating cash flow is expected to be flat year over year, and the free cash flow is anticipated to be approximately $180 million (excludes the benefit of the Ligado lump sum payments, as they are non-recurring).
