Viasat (VSAT) shares climbed 16.29% to close at $74.37, driven primarily by a new Phase 1 contract award from NASA. The stock also benefited from a significant price target increase by Deutsche Bank, which offset recent valuation concerns raised by other analysts.
What Happened
Viasat was selected to mature its design for small GEO satellites as part of an end-to-end commercial Ka-band relay service. This award supplements NASA’s TDRS services under the NEXUS Initiative. On the same day, Deutsche Bank raised its price target for the stock to $125 from $97. This move contrasted with recent actions by other firms. JP Morgan maintained an Overweight rating but lowered its price target to $120 from $130, citing valuation. Needham cut its price target to $85, pointing to revenue concerns.

The stock has a beta of 1.73 and trades within a 52-week range of $29.13 to $93.03. Unusual options activity showed one notable print with $3.1 million in call premium and no put premium.
