Gilat Satellite Networks: Needham Raises PT to $11 from $8.5, Maintains Buy Rating
Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. (GILT) has seen its price target raised by Needham & Company to $11 from $8.5, while maintaining a buy rating. The upgrade comes amidst strong earnings and growth prospects for the satellite networking technology company.Gilat reported its second quarter 2025 results on August 6, 2025, showing revenues increased by 37% and a GAAP operating income of $5.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA stood at $11.8 million, raising the midpoint of 2025 revenue and EBITDA guidance [1].
The company's diverse business segments, including Defense, Commercial, and Peru, have driven robust growth and resilience. Gilat has secured significant contracts, such as a $60 million digital inclusion project in Peru and a $70 million agreement with the U.S. Army for mission-critical communications [2].
