Viasat’s 2025 Takeoff: Stock Soars, New Satellites Launch, and a High-Stakes Future
Viasat shares have surged over 250% year-to-date in 2025, rebounding from a 2024 slump and trading near multi-year highs. Fiscal 2025 revenue rose 5.5% to $4.52 billion, while net loss narrowed to $575 million. The company holds about $7.5 billion in debt but secured a $568 million settlement from Ligado Networks to help deleverage. Viasat’s ViaSat-3 satellite program suffered a major setback after an antenna failure in 2023.
