Key catalyst

FY2025 earnings release • 2026-03-11

Base target: $26 / p=60% prob

Biggest risk

Launch delays, contract timing setbacks, pricing pressure, or capital raises compress multiples and keep valuation below the base case, potentially pushing shares toward the low end of analyst ranges.

Invalidation

Break below $18 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

Successful satellite deployments, steady government contract wins, and accelerating subscription analytics drive margin expansion and re-rating toward high analyst outliers (~$42).

Commentary

Sentiment is cautiously constructive: most analyst targets cluster in the mid‑$20s, while a few high outliers near $42 create a bifurcated view [#SERP-1]. Near-term focus is the FY2025 report and contract announcements, which will likely drive short-term volatility and re-rating [#SERP-8].
