Needham raised its price target for Viasat stock from USD 90 to USD 105 while maintaining a Buy rating, according to Investing.com on October 14, 2026. The same report cited spectrum assets as the rationale, putting the analyst view against weaker recent operating figures.

Three milestones shape the story

Viasat reported USD 1.16 billion of revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, down 1.00 percent from the prior-year quarter, while its net loss narrowed to USD 42.8 million. The figures come from the company financial release and structured quarterly data for the period ended June 30, 2026.

On September 17, 2026, Viasat said its ViaSat-3 F2 satellite had entered service across the Americas. The company had earlier announced on August 31, 2026 that ViaSat-3 F3 had entered service across Asia-Pacific, adding operational milestones to the satellite network story. These releases are available through Viasat.

What do the targets mean for earnings?

Needham's USD 105 target is one of several recent views. Investing.com reported that Raymond James maintained an Outperform rating with a USD 107 target, while Barclays reiterated Equalweight with a USD 49 target and cited a 7.00 percent year-over-year decline in adjusted EBITDA. The spread shows that satellite execution and profitability remain central to the valuation debate.

Viasat also disclosed that SVP Craig Miller sold 11,893 shares on October 9, 2026, for approximately USD 851,629 under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, according to Investing.com. The transaction followed an option exercise and did not by itself change the company's operating guidance.

Upcoming earnings date

Viasat's next earnings date is listed as November 5, 2026. The date gives investors a defined checkpoint for revenue, adjusted EBITDA and the progress of the satellite services expansion.
