Movement Alert|Viasat Rises 5.17% Overnight, U.S. Space Force Contract Win Reinforces Government Satellite Momentum

Market Focus
Jun 15

On June 15, Viasat rose 5.17% overnight, trading at $73.8/share, with turnover of $100,700. The stock continues to recover from prior earnings-driven weakness as a series of major government contract wins bolsters investor confidence.

On the news front, Viasat was recently selected by the U.S. Space Force to provide a dual-band satellite system under the Protected Tactical Satellite Communications-Global program's first delivery order, marking further confirmation of the company's critical role in national security communications. This follows the earlier announcement that Lockheed Martin selected Viasat to provide a hybrid satellite communication platform for NOAA's next-generation aircraft program. The consecutive government contract wins help offset market concerns stemming from Q4 fiscal revenue of $1.171 billion missing the $1.2 billion consensus estimate and conservative full-year guidance projecting only mid-single-digit revenue growth.

Within the Communication Equipment sector, the broader group traded positively, with Applied Optoelectronics up 4.6%, Ciena up 4.14%, Nokia up 3.85%, Lumentum up 3.15%, and Cisco up 0.2%, providing supportive sector tailwinds.
