Viasat Inc. (NASDAQ:VSAT) is a global communications company that provides satellite and wireless networking technology. It offers broadband services, secure networking systems, and satellite communication solutions. Viasat competes with companies like Hughes Network Systems and Iridium Communications in the satellite communications industry. The company is set to release its quarterly earnings on Tuesday, May 20, 2025.
Wall Street analysts estimate Viasat's earnings per share (EPS) to be $0.03 for this quarter. Despite a projected revenue of approximately $1.14 billion, the company is expected to report a year-over-year increase in earnings. This suggests that Viasat is managing its costs effectively, even though its revenues are lower for the quarter ending March 2025.
The stock's movement will largely depend on whether these key figures meet or exceed expectations. A positive earnings surprise could lead to a rise in the stock price, while a miss might result in a decline. The management's discussion during the earnings call will be crucial in determining the sustainability of any immediate price changes and future earnings expectations.
The company has a price-to-sales ratio is 0.31, suggesting the stock is valued at 31 cents for every dollar of sales. The enterprise value to sales ratio is 1.63, reflecting the company's total valuation relative to its sales. The enterprise value to operating cash flow ratio is 8.75, showing how many times the operating cash flow can cover the enterprise value. The debt-to-equity ratio is 1.58, indicating a higher proportion of debt compared to equity. However, the current ratio of 1.80 suggests that Viasat has a good level of liquidity to cover its short-term liabilities.
