Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Financial PerformanceIridium Communications reported fourth quarter revenue of approximately $213.0 million compared to the estimate of $203.7 million.
Shareholder ReturnsIridium Communications' commitment to returning capital to shareholders is viewed favorably, supported by its free cash flow generation buoyed by a current capex holiday.
Bears Say
Competitive RisksThere is concern around potential risk to Iridium Communications' IoT business due to the recent SpaceX momentum in Direct-to-Device, such as T-Mobile Starlink trials.
Subscriber GrowthThe change in subscriber count would not impact IRDM’s revenue due to contract pricing but could create negative headwind as IRDM would need to highlight the reason for the slowdown in IOT subscriber growth each time it reports results.
