Gogo Inc. (GOGO)

Gogo's stock experienced several notable events over the past six months. Its stock price rose after strong Q1 2025 sales. In Q2 2024, total revenue decreased slightly, but service revenue reached a record high. The launch of Gogo 5G has faced delays. Gogo announced FAA approval for its first Gogo Galileo FDX STC and EASA approval for its Plane Simple Ka-band antenna system, with high demand for Gogo Galileo HDX. SD Government, a Gogo Company, secured a five-year federal contract. Michael Begler, Executive Vice President and COO, departed the company. Analysts have a consensus "Hold" rating for Gogo stock. The stock price has shown volatility, with a significant increase over the last six months but also a plunge to a 52-week low.

Demand for Gogo's products and services is influenced by increasing demand for business aviation flights and connectivity, demographic shifts, the remote work culture, and strong OEM order books. Younger private jet owners are increasing, and demand for in-flight Wi-Fi rises as the age of the flyer decreases. The biggest surge in demand is at the high end of the market, driven by cloud data storage and video conferencing. While there are no explicit monthly seasonality patterns, general aviation trends often see peaks during holiday seasons and business travel periods.

Gogo maintains a strong brand reputation as a leader in in-flight connectivity for business aviation.
