What the Analysts think about IRDM

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Iridium Communications stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Engineering and support revenue surged 62% year-over-year to $41.9 million in Q2 2025, driven by expanded U.S. government contracts and activity with the Space Development Agency (PR Newswire).
Total billable subscribers rose 3% year-over-year to 2.483 million in Q2 and grew 5% in Q1, led by commercial IoT adoption, underlining the strength of Iridium's recurring service base (PR Newswire).
Government service revenue nonetheless grew 1% to $26.8 million in Q2 2025, thanks to contractual rate increases under the EMSS contract with the U.S. Space Force, providing predictable cash flows despite subscriber declines (PR Newswire).
Iridium trimmed its full-year 2025 total service revenue growth outlook to 3–5%, down from the prior 5–7% range, signaling softer near-term demand for its core satellite communications services (Satellite Today).
Second-quarter EPS of $0.20 missed the $0.24 analyst consensus, which triggered a nearly 20% intraday share selloff, underscoring market concerns over profitability pressures (Investing.com).
Equipment revenue declined 15% year-over-year to $19.5 million in Q2 2025, reflecting continued headwinds in hardware sales and potential margin compression (PR Newswire).
