On June 16, Viasat fell 5.51% in regular trading, trading at approximately $61.96/share, with turnover of $29.54 million. The stock has continued its downward trajectory since reporting a quarterly EPS of -$0.18 on May 28, with profit-taking pressure driving bulls out of positions.
Despite recent positive catalysts — including being selected by the US Space Force under the Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global (PTS-G) program to deliver a dual-band satellite system, part of a $437.7 million contract shared with Intelsat for anti-jam satellite communications covering the first two operational satellites of the PTS-G \"Swarm 1\" system — the stock has failed to sustain any rebound momentum. The broader Communication Equipment sector saw pronounced weakness, with Applied Optoelectronics down 8.67%, Lumentum down 8.37%, Ciena down 6.32%, and Nokia down 5.09%, amplifying downward pressure on individual names through sector linkage.
Viasat remains in a loss-making state with a price-to-book ratio of 1.93x, suggesting fundamental recovery will require additional time.
