MDA Space Ltd. (MDA-T) is positioned in the growing space and defense industries, but has faced volatility and significant challenges, particularly with its loss of high-profile contracts like the one with EchoStar. While the company's new leadership is advocating for a pivot towards defense, some analysts express concerns over the sustainability of this transition due to underlying issues in the business. However, there is optimism surrounding significant upcoming opportunities, especially related to Canada's increasing military spending and a potential $40 billion pipeline for low-orbit satellites. Despite its volatile nature, MDA's strong backlog, order growth, and growing market for satellite operations suggest potential long-term value. Some experts caution that the company may be at risk of becoming a value trap, with better opportunities existing elsewhere in the sector.
Recent winning of billion dollar space contract from Canadian government very profitable. Stock performing very well the past few years. Demand for products remains strong, at a profitable rate. Expecting further growth in the years to come. Stock price under valued in relation to peers. Would recommend holding for the long term investor.
Global tech leader, only pure-play public space technology. Cost of launching satellites has come way down. Well positioned in satellite systems, robotics, and geo-intelligence. $3.3B backlog. Clear visibility for 20-25% EBITDA growth per year for at least the next 3 years. Stock's come down to compellingly attractive levels.
Global leader in the field. There's a new "space" economy, and MDA is well positioned to capture a good share. $3B backlog. Clear visibility for 20% revenue and EBITDA growth per year for the next few years. Recently added to TSX Composite, underfollowed stock. 9x EBITDA, really cheap considering massive growth potential. No dividend.
(Analysts’ price target is $16.25)Forecasts call for sales growth of 23.5% and EPS growth of 21.1% in 2024. MDA has displayed nice momentum following a solid Q3 and has a large backlog of business. Additionally, MDA has started to see cash flows begin to increase. MDA is up 59% in the last year and a valuation of 17.9x forward earnings is decent considering the strong momentum in the last year and forecasted outlook. We are comfortable adding to MDA at the current levels.

Last week, the Telesat deal surprised everyone. Nobody saw it coming. MDA developed a technology that really dropped the costs, so they were able to raise the financing. That deal was a feather in the cap, but MDA's demand will grow anyway. He likes the story and is hanging on, not selling any shares.
EPS of 8c mostly matched estimates (8.2c); revenue of $196M was 1% better than expected. EBITDA of $40.4M was 11.5% better. Results were good, and guidance was raised. MDA also won a very large contract which adds significantly to earnings/revenue visibility. The stock has had a very big run; at 28X earnings it cannot be called cheap, but we think momentum can continue. We can't comment on position size but think it is buyable for aggressive investors, though we would not expect the same pace as recent gains.

He's been buying this all along. It bottomed at $6 and is now around $8.50. They're like the arms dealer in the old space race--making components in satellites. They're very well positioned. Are generating cash flow and raised full-year guidance. Delivered a good beat last quarter. Their valuation will expand. Satellites will continue to launch so there will be demand.
His top pick in the past. This offers rare growth in the industrial space. Expects 25% earnings cash flow growth over 5 years and likely a 8x cash flow.
