Eutelsat's LEO business grows as new deals and satellite deliveries build

LEO revenue jumps, debt cut Full-year results showed LEO revenue up almost 70% to €297m, now a quarter of the group, while the net loss narrowed and net debt fell to €1.46bn. A €5bn refinancing eased balance-sheet worry, though video revenue kept shrinking.
The annual results are the core fundamental update on Eutelsat's shift to LEO and its finances.
New customer deals add revenue Eutelsat signed a partnership to host up to 96 thermal sensors on future LEO satellites, extended its Mexican satellite-TV contract with StarTV, and saw Thai operator NT launch a OneWeb broadband service. Each brings fresh, recurring revenue and shows demand beyond Europe.
These commercial wins are the clearest new evidence that customers are buying Eutelsat capacity.
Satellite supply chain advances Airbus finished the first 32 of 669 planned new OneWeb satellites, and supplier Clear Blue expects a three-year Eutelsat order for 1,500-2,500 units. This supports the fleet renewal that underpins future LEO service capacity.
Hardware delivery and supplier orders show the LEO build-out is physically progressing, not just promised.
Airbus jet order is background Avolon's 110-jet Airbus order mainly reflects Airbus's commercial aircraft business, not Eutelsat. It only repeats that Airbus is also building OneWeb satellites, so it adds little new for Eutelsat investors beyond the delivery news.
It flags that one widely covered story is largely irrelevant to Eutelsat's own outlook.

Q3 202623 Jul – 6 Oct 2026

Garmin beat Q2, raised 2026 outlook, and kept launching premium devices

Q2 beat and raised full-year guidance Garmin's second-quarter revenue rose 11% to $2 billion and profit beat forecasts, led by fitness revenue up 25%. Management raised full-year revenue and earnings guidance, and the stock jumped about 16% on the news. Higher expected sales and profit are the core reason the shares moved up.
The guidance raise and earnings beat are the biggest fundamental driver of GRMN this period.
New premium watches and fitness acquisitions Garmin bought TrainingPeaks and TrainHeroic and launched the CIRQA band, then rolled out fēnix 9, Approach S72 and Enduro 4 watches priced $800-$1,100. These add higher-priced products and recurring fitness subscriptions, supporting revenue and profit growth.
Shows the product and ecosystem expansion that underpins Garmin's growth outlook.
Marine and aviation product momentum Garmin launched the GMI 40 marine instrument and SmartDrive sailboat autopilot, after marine revenue grew 14% to $341 million at strong margins. Aviation also grew on OEM and aftermarket demand. New products keep the smaller but profitable segments expanding.
Marine and aviation are meaningful profit contributors and their new launches support the raised outlook.
Free software updates and analyst praise, but weak spots remain Garmin added free fall detection and voice control to existing watches and won a Zacks Strong Buy mention, which supports its brand and pricing power. But outdoor revenue fell 2%, auto OEM profit was thin, and some funds sold, a real counterweight to the bullish story.
Gives the fair counterweight alongside the positive drivers.
