# ViaSat Inc. (VSAT) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Technology / Communications Equipment. Price $75.32, market value $10.4 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). ViaSat Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **PEG: 4.79**. A PEG of 4.79 means the P/E is high relative to expected earnings growth; the price already assumes a lot.
- **Price / sales: 2.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.2×.
- **Price / book: 2.2×**. The shares trade at 2.2× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 6.1×**. Enterprise value is 6.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.

## Profitability
- **Operating margin: 2.4%**. 2.4% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: -0.7%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -0.7%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: 2.9%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 2.9%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -0.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces -0.2% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 2.7%** (3-yr 22.0%/yr, 5-yr 19.3%/yr). Revenue grew 2.7% over the last year, against 19.3% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 94.4%**. Earnings per share rose 94.4%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.01**. Debt is 0.01 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. ViaSat Inc. holds more cash than debt.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.35**. A Z-score of 1.35 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.

- **From 52-week high: -19.0%** (188.6% above the low). Trading 19% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 52**. An RSI of 52 is neutral.
