Viasat Q2 Details

Viasat reported quarterly earnings of 17 cents per share, which beat the consensus estimate for losses of 30 cents, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Quarterly revenue came in at $1.16 billion, which missed the Street estimate of $1.2 billion and was down from $1.17 billion in the same period last year.

Viasat said the revenue decline primarily reflected a 4% year-over-year decrease in the Defense and Advanced Technology segment, while the Communication Services segment revenue remained flat year-over-year.

VSAT Stock Price Activity: According to data from Benzinga Pro, Viasat stock was down 7.66% to $79.56 in Tuesday’s extended trading.
