What the Analysts think about ViaSat

Analyst projections of the future price of ViaSat stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Defense and Advanced Technologies is growing quickly: second-quarter revenue rose 20% year on year, and management expects mid-to-high-teens growth for the full year. Its backlog also grew, giving the business a stronger base for future sales. (Viasat)
Viasat’s ViaSat-3 fleet is now operational across the Americas and Asia-Pacific, tripling bandwidth available across its global fleet. That added capacity could support growth in aviation, maritime and government connectivity while improving network economics. (Viasat)
Cash generation is improving as the heavy satellite investment phase eases: Viasat reported $198 million of trailing-twelve-month free cash flow excluding one-off items and expects more than $225 million in FY2027. It also expects capital spending of $850 million to $900 million this year. (StockTitan)
Revenue growth is not yet translating into stronger earnings: the latest quarter’s net loss widened to $129 million from $61 million, while adjusted EBITDA fell 4%. (StockTitan)
Parts of Communication Services remain under pressure, with residential broadband subscribers falling to 100,000 and maritime revenue declining. Viasat is losing broadband customers to Starlink, leaving the new satellite capacity to prove it can stabilise demand. (Advanced Television)
Viasat still carries substantial financial commitments: net debt was $4.8 billion and net leverage was 3.2 times, alongside planned FY2027 capital spending of up to $900 million. That leaves limited room for setbacks if cash generation falls short of guidance. (StockTitan)
