On July 17, Viasat rose 5.55% in regular trading, trading at $72.52/share, with turnover of $62.11 million. The rally was driven by a jury ruling that certain Kioxia Holdings products infringed on a patent claim submitted by Viasat.
According to the verdict, the jury found that parts of Kioxia's product lineup violated Viasat's patent rights. Kioxia expressed strong opposition to both the allegations and the ruling, stating it would pursue all available legal avenues including post-judgment motions and appeals if necessary. The patent litigation victory brings potential compensation revenue expectations for Viasat, boosting market sentiment.
The stock has also benefited from broader investor enthusiasm for its spectrum assets. Analysts at Raymond James recently estimated Viasat's wireless spectrum portfolio at approximately $15 billion, exceeding the company's market capitalization of around $12 billion. Since late June, the stock had already accumulated gains of roughly 40% on spectrum revaluation catalysts.
