KVH Q2 Revenue Jumps 27% on LEO Growth, But Profit Slips to $0.2M
KVHI sits 91% above its 52-week low of $5.09.
Summary
KVH Industries reported Q2 revenue up 27% year-over-year, driven by strong LEO service adoption from Starlink and OneWeb subscribers. However, net income fell to $0.2 million from $0.9 million a year ago, and adjusted EBITDA of $3 million missed the sole analyst estimate of $3.59 million. The top-line growth reflects a successful pivot to LEO connectivity, but declining VSAT and TracVision sales and a product mix shift toward lower-margin hardware are pressuring profitability. This follows a Q1 that also showed 27% revenue growth and a return to net income, suggesting the LEO transition is gaining traction but margins remain under pressure. The stock trades at 20 times forward earnings, down from 29 times three months ago, reflecting market skepticism about the earnings trajectory.
