The case for and against

Updated Jul 8, 2026

Bull case

Viasat is expected to see significant growth and market reach through its 2023 combination with Inmarsat, along with cost savings. Its strong spectrum assets and partnership with Equatys contribute to its long-term potential and valuation. Despite recent launch setbacks, the company's core business is well-managed and poised for steady growth and improved earnings leverage. With upcoming launches and expected revenue increases from its VS3 satellites, Viasat remains a strong investment opportunity in both its communication services and defense and advanced technologies segments, with our $90 price target supporting a Buy rating.

Bear case

Viasat is facing challenges in its satellite services segment due to intense competition and high costs, as well as a potential slowdown in government spending in the government systems segment. The company's recent sale of a minority interest in a subsidiary and its ongoing strategic review suggest financial struggles, and its ambitious launch of the ViaSat-3 F3 satellite in 2026 may not bring in enough revenue to offset these issues in the near term.
