Viasat (ISIN US92552V1008) received an initial USD 42.00 million task order on September 23, 2026, under a seven-year U.S. Marine Corps satellite-services contract, according to Viasat. Viasat stock was trading at EUR 62.87 at Lang & Schwarz on October 2, 2026 at 1:02 p.m. CEST, plus 0.14 percent versus the prior close of EUR 62.78.

Marine contract adds revenue visibility

The award covers managed satellite communications for the U.S. Marine Corps and carries a total ceiling of USD 307.00 million. Viasat will provide connectivity across L-, Ku- and Ka-bands, together with bandwidth management, network monitoring and cybersecurity services, the company said in its September 23, 2026 release.

The initial order is the immediately quantified contribution, while the larger ceiling creates a longer commercial runway. The contract also uses Viasat and partner satellites across multiple orbits, including the ViaSat-3 network, linking the government business to the company's wider capacity investments.

Revenue slips as cash flow improves

In fiscal first-quarter 2027, ended June 30, 2026, revenue fell 1.00 percent year over year to USD 1.16 billion, while the GAAP net loss was USD 51.70 million, according to Yahoo Finance. The comparison shows that the contract opportunity arrives while the existing revenue base is still under pressure.

Operating cash flow reached USD 260.6 million in the same fiscal quarter, while capital expenditures were USD 218.9 million, according to Yahoo Finance. That leaves commercial execution as the key financial test: new contracts must convert network capacity into recurring revenue after heavy investment.

Analysts see a higher target

MarketBeat reported on September 30, 2026, that 11 analysts held a Moderate Buy consensus and an average 12-month price target of USD 90.67 for Viasat stock. The same report listed targets ranging from USD 95.00 at Morgan Stanley to USD 140.00 at Oppenheimer, showing a wide spread in valuation views.

For investors, the figures point in two directions. The Marine Corps order strengthens the government-services pipeline, but the fiscal first-quarter revenue decline and USD 218.9 million of capital expenditures keep cash conversion central to the valuation debate.
