Louie DiPalma has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Iridium Communications’ strategic positioning and potential for growth. Despite the recent dip in share price following a lowered revenue outlook and the suspension of the stock buyback program, DiPalma sees value in Iridium’s strategic assets and future prospects. The company’s ownership of valuable global L-band spectrum and its significant stake in Aireon, a flight-tracking service, are seen as key strategic assets that could attract interest from potential acquirers.
Furthermore, Iridium’s management has indicated a focus on growth acquisitions and openness to being acquired, which could enhance shareholder value. The company is also exploring innovative approaches for its next-generation constellation, such as hosting payloads on other platforms, which could optimize capital use and expand service capabilities. These factors, combined with the company’s solid free cash flow from its core satellite communications business, underpin DiPalma’s optimistic outlook and Buy rating.
DiPalma covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Caci International, Gilat, and Rekor Systems. According to TipRanks, DiPalma has an average return of 8.9% and a 61.08% success rate on recommended stocks.
