Ryan Koontz has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Gilat’s impressive financial performance and strategic acquisitions. The company reported a significant increase in revenue for the second quarter of 2025, with a 37% year-over-year growth and a 14% increase from the previous quarter, largely driven by the acquisition of Stellar Blu. This acquisition contributed $36 million to the revenue and is on track to meet its financial targets as it ramps up production and resolves supply chain issues.
Additionally, Gilat’s operations in Peru exceeded expectations, further supporting the positive outlook. Despite a slight decline in the defense segment, the company has a strong pipeline that suggests potential future growth. With the global momentum in satellite technology, Gilat has raised its revenue guidance for fiscal year 2025 to reflect substantial growth, particularly from its commercial and Peru segments. These factors have led to an increased price target of $11, reinforcing the Buy rating.
