On July 10, Viasat rose 5.31% in regular trading, trading at $74.39/share, with turnover of $25.11 million. The stock rebounded sharply after dipping to a low of $69.89 earlier in the session, recovering from a sustained pullback following a roughly 40% surge since June 26.

The rebound was notable given that the broader Communication Equipment sector traded weak on the day, with Lumentum down 1.54%, Nokia down 3.80%, and Applied Optoelectronics down 6.22%. Viasat's ability to defy sector headwinds suggests that the spectrum revaluation thesis continues to provide a valuation floor. The rally was originally sparked by Rocket Lab's disclosure of an $8 billion deal to acquire Iridium Communications for its spectrum assets, which prompted investors to reassess Viasat's own spectrum holdings. Raymond James analysts have estimated Viasat's wireless spectrum portfolio at approximately $15 billion, exceeding the company's market capitalization of roughly $12 billion. Additionally, the company was selected by the U.S. Space Force to provide a dual-band satellite system under the Protected Tactical SATCOM-Global program, reinforcing its strategic positioning in national security communications.
