Globalstar, Inc. (GSAT)

Globalstar's stock price has been impacted by several events. In November 2025, Globalstar reached a significant milestone in a $2 billion ITU pledge, and its shares hit an 11-year high. The Q3 2025 earnings surpassed expectations, with equipment revenue from IoT device sales rising sharply. In October 2025, there were reports about potential sale talks with SpaceX and speculation that Apple might choose SpaceX for satcom services. In September 2025, an analyst upgraded GSAT to a strong buy rating, citing new government and defense contracts. In January 2026, Clear Street brokerage raised its price target for Globalstar, but the stock dropped after Scotiabank highlighted competition from SpaceX's Starlink. Overall, the stock price increased significantly, but has been volatile.

Specific detailed information regarding the demand seasonality for Globalstar's products and services is not publicly provided.
