2025-05-05
Reason
Oppenheimer initiated coverage of Iridium with an Outperform rating and $34 price target. The company provides the only mission-critical voice and data connectivity services globally over 66 LEO satellites, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says Iridium's constellation's network structure and "unique" global L-band spectrum occupy a "mission-critical niche that is unlikely to be replicated." It believes the company is seeing major new revenue streams from soon to come direct-to-device capabilities, improved internet of thing speeds and devices, and now a new position navigation and timing service. Opco believes Iridium is positioned to double services revenue growth to the high single digits, driving free cash flow per share growth above 20%.

2025-04-23
Reason
BWS Financial lowered the firm's price target on Iridium to $25 from $30 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The company's Q1 results slightly topped consensus estimates, but the beat was driving by engineering revenue and not services revenue, the analyst tells investors in a research note. BWS believes the current climate and management's commentary "create angst" in Iridium being able to achieve $300M in free cash flow this year and the ability to do it again next year.

Maintains
$45 → $38
2025-03-10
Reason
Barclays analyst Mathieu Robilliard lowered the firm's price target on Iridium to $38 from $45 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm continues to see attractive growth ahead for the company, but at a slower pace than before due notably to the mid term threat posed by new players.
