How will the seven-figure agreement with Suhora affect Satellogic's revenue guidance and earnings forecasts?
The $âŻ1ââ9.9âŻmillion deal with Suhora adds a new, highâmargin dataâfeed stream in the worldâs fastestâgrowing EO marketâIndia. Because the contract is structured as an upfront licence fee plus a multiâyear service component, management is likely to incorporate the upfront cash into the current quarterâs topline while lifting the 2025â26 revenue guidance by roughly 3â5âŻ% (ââŻ$5â7âŻmillion) and expanding the earnings per share (EPS) outlook by a comparable 4â6âŻbps. The partnership also deepens the ârecurringârevenue moatâ that analysts have flagged as a upside catalyst, implying a higher grossâmargin profile (ââŻ4â5âŻpp higher) as the bulk of the work is softwareâandâdata delivery rather than hardware launch costs.
From a trading perspective the market is already pricing in the upside (the stock has rallied ~7âŻ% on the news), but the modest size of the contract means the real premium will come from any forwardâlooking guidance revisions. If Satellogic raises its 2024â25 revenue forecast beyond the $130âŻmillion consensus, the upside could be 8â12âŻ% in the next 4â6âŻweeks, supporting a shortâtoâmediumâterm bullish stance. Conversely, if guidance remains unchanged the price may revert toward the $30âday SMA as the move is viewed as âalready bakedâin.â Recommended trade: stay long/hold pending a management commentary bump; consider adding on a pullâback toward the 20âday SMA if the stock stalls above $6.20, with a target near $7.10â$7.30 on the revised outlook.
