Austin Moeller, an analyst from Canaccord Genuity, maintained the Buy rating on Spire Global (SPIR – Research Report). The associated price target remains the same with $14.50.
Austin Moeller has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Spire Global’s potential for growth and financial improvement. Despite a year-over-year decline in quarterly revenues and adjusted EBITDA losses, the company’s financial performance surpassed expectations, with revenues exceeding estimates by approximately 5% and EBITDA losses being 29% better than anticipated. This positive variance was driven by an increase in annual recurring revenue from existing customers and higher contracting revenues in their Space Services division.
Furthermore, Spire Global’s strategic initiatives, such as the creation of a Space Reconnaissance Business Unit, position the company to capitalize on the growing demand for RF SIGINT services amid heightened geopolitical tensions. The company’s backlog of contracted revenue and expected growth in annual recurring revenue provide a solid foundation for future performance. Additionally, the recent equity raise and the anticipated closing of the maritime business sale are expected to strengthen the company’s financial position, supporting Moeller’s optimistic outlook on Spire Global’s stock.
Moeller covers the Industrials sector, focusing on stocks such as Spire Global, Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, and Intuitive Machines. According to TipRanks, Moeller has an average return of -7.2% and a 30.32% success rate on recommended stocks.
