Viasat, Inc. is a global innovator in broadband and communications technology, delivering its products and services worldwide. The company's operations are divided into two main segments. Its Satellite Services division provides satellite-based internet access and voice-over-IP for homes and businesses, offers in-flight entertainment systems and aviation software to airlines, and delivers community internet services. It also supplies mobile broadband solutions for marine vessels such as offshore energy ships, cruise liners, ferries, and private yachts, along with specialized energy services featuring ultra-secure IP connectivity, optimized applications, IoT data integration, and advanced machine learning analytics. The Commercial Networks segment focuses on developing and supplying both fixed and mobile broadband satellite communication systems, including their core infrastructure and ground terminals. This division also produces a range of antenna systems for terrestrial and satellite uses, encompassing earth imaging, remote sensing, and multi-band satellite communications. Additionally, it offers design and engineering services for satellites and ground systems, manufactures application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) chips, supports network function virtualization, and provides expertise in space system design and development for various satellite platforms, including GEO, MEO, and LEO. Viasat was founded in 1986 and is headquartered in Carlsbad, California.
The reconstruction
At $76.38, the stock sits at the 17th percentile of published models, leaning bearish against the median $96 target and refusing to pay for the acceleration the reverse-DCF requires or the defense spin-off the bulls demand.
What the disagreement turns on
Can the Defense & Advanced Technologies segment sustain its 32% backlog growth and secure its prime contract allocation, and can unit volumes in Maritime and Fixed Services recover to deliver the 9% revenue CAGR the price requires—neither of which can be settled by the wired data.
The price pays for
It declines to pay for
Written by a language model from the published models, the reported segments and a reverse-DCF — not a recommendation, and not a house view.
