Jul 2, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 4 opinions in the last 12 months.
Telesat, a prominent player in the satellite industry, is facing a dual challenge as its legacy geostationary satellite (GEO) business experiences a structural decline in revenues and margins, while its newer low-earth-orbit (LEO) segment shows promising growth due to rising demand. Analysts note that despite the decline in its foundational services like broadcasting and telecom, the increased backlog in the LEO segment might help offset losses from the GEO side in the near future. The company currently serves a major portion of its business in Canada and the U.S., with a presence in Europe, Australia, and South America, yet it remains under the radar, partially due to limited analyst coverage and liquidity concerns. Overall, while the prospective earnings trajectory appears bumpy and speculative, there seems to be potential for Telesat as it navigates this internal shift in its business model.
On paper, TSATs fundamentals are showing a decline, with revenues and margins falling, but yet the stock price is rising. This is due to an internal shift in its business model. Its legacy business is its geostationary satellites (GEO) which provide services like broadcasting, enterprise telecom, etc. This segment is in a structural decline, but its new segment low-earth-orbit satellites (LEO) is seeing strong demand from governments, and its backlog is growing. So while its GEO segment is in a structural decline, the backlog growth for LEO is expected to offset the decline in GEO in the coming year(s). We think it is interesting and has potential being in the space exploration sector.

Global satellite provider. Has 51% of its business in Canada and 32% in US, balance in Europe and Australia and SA. Only 2 analysts cover it. Not very liquid. Analysts model big earnings drop from here, erratic and bumpy.
Looks speculative. He prefers a clearer earnings profile.
