Reason
JPMorgan upgraded ViaSat to Overweight from Neutral with a price target of $50, up from $23. The firm now sees a higher probability of a separation of the company's Defense and Advanced Technologies segment following its shareholder letter. ViaSat is likely to review potential value unlock options, which may push the timing of a separation out a couple quarters, the analyst tells investors in a research note. JPMorgan upgraded the shares based on its sum-of-the-parts valuation. While ViaSat is unlikely to sell spectrum in the near-term, it offers long-term option value, adds the firm.

Market Perform -> Outperform
Reason
Raymond James analyst Ric Prentiss upgraded ViaSat to Outperform from Market Perform with a $52 price target. Despite very strong stock performance over the past six months, the firm believes there remains "substantial" sum-of-the-parts upside plus several catalysts as investors are starting to recognize the significant value of the Defense & Advanced Technologies business. Launch risks, along with SpaceX Starlink competition, uncertainty on the strategic review outcome and timing, and minor government shutdown risks, keep the firm from going to Strong Buy, but it thinks the risk/rewards are "quite compelling," the analyst tells investors.
