On August 4, Viasat rose 5.07% in regular trading, reaching $85.255 per share with turnover of $62.93 million. The move was driven by the companys scheduled post-market release of its fiscal year Q1 earnings report and continued investor enthusiasm around its spectrum asset valuation.

Viasat is set to report Q1 fiscal year results after todays close, with analysts expecting an adjusted loss of $0.06 per share. The company delivered a significant upside surprise last quarter, posting an adjusted loss of just $0.02 per share versus the consensus estimate of a $0.36 loss. The spectrum revaluation thesis continues to attract capital inflows after Rocket Lab disclosed an $8 billion acquisition of Iridium Communications to secure spectrum resources. Analysts at Raymond James estimated Viasats wireless spectrum portfolio at approximately $15 billion, exceeding the companys then-market capitalization of roughly $12 billion. The stock has gained substantially since late June on this logic. Additionally, recent contract wins including a $437.7 million US Space Force anti-jam satellite award and a BMW satellite voice call demonstration have reinforced the companys strategic positioning.
