On June 1, Viasat declined 5.58% in regular trading, trading at $73.65/share, with trading volume of approximately $49.55 million. The stock continues to retreat following its fiscal Q4 earnings release on May 28.
The company reported fiscal Q4 adjusted loss of $0.02 per share, significantly beating the consensus estimate of a $0.36 loss. However, quarterly revenue of $1.171 billion fell short of the $1.196 billion market expectation. Additionally, Viasat guided for only mid-single-digit year-over-year revenue growth in fiscal year 2027, with adjusted EBITDA expected to remain flat or increase marginally, a notably conservative outlook.
Prior to the earnings release, Viasat shares had rallied sharply over multiple sessions, driven by the SwiftBroadband-Safety cockpit communications service reaching the 1,000-aircraft installation milestone and New Street Research initiating coverage with a buy rating. The revenue shortfall combined with subdued forward guidance has triggered sustained unwinding of prior bullish momentum, with profit-taking pressure continuing to weigh on the stock. B.Riley maintained a buy rating but raised its target to $106, while FactSet consensus shows an average overweight rating with a mean target of $67.88.
