KVH Industries reported a significant improvement in its first-quarter 2026 financial results, moving from a net loss to a net income. This turnaround, coupled with robust 27% year-over-year revenue growth, is primarily attributed to strong adoption of its LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite services, including Starlink and OneWeb.
