Eutelsat shares dropped 16% after the French satellite operator lowered its outlook for fiscal 2024 and suspended its fiscal 2025 targets due to delays at its recently acquired U.K. satellite-internet company OneWeb. OneWeb’s low Earth orbit communications network activities are running behind schedule, hurting revenue. Eutelsat’s revenue for the year is now expected to be between 1.25 billion to 1.3 billion euros, and adjusted EBITDA is estimated to range between EUR650 million to EUR680 million. The company’s legacy business remains on track, but objectives for fiscal 2025 are suspended. Eutelsat aims for a double-digit compound annual growth rate in revenue and adjusted EBITDA between fiscal 2024 and 2028.
