Needham reaffirmed its 'Buy' rating for Viasat, highlighting strong growth in its Defense and Advanced Technologies division, which boosted the company's backlog to $1.4 billion. Despite slightly missing revenue estimates, Viasat exceeded earnings per share expectations and showed improved financial health with rising free cash flow and reduced net leverage. The company expects stronger results in the second half of fiscal 2027, supported by the upcoming launch of two ViaSat-3 satellites, which are anticipated to drive future growth, especially in mobility services.
