Analysts are downgrading Viasat

Deutsche Bank adjusts ViaSat price target to $13 from $18, maintains hold rating. I will tell you that analysts very rarely issue a "sell" rating. They either say "buy" or "hold". Hold is the same as sell. Very bad news for Viasat.

Rumors on rehire ineligibility

I heard some rumors that those who took part in the VRP are considered ineligible for rehire. Any truth in this ?

Start looking for a new job!

Don’t wait until it’s too late and you’ve already been laid off. It’s ten times easier to find a new job when you’re not stressing over being unemployed. Do yourself a favor and don’t wait to find out the difference. Plus, we all know this place has... — read more

Whomever gets to be affected in this round, I hope they find good jobs soon. Tech job market is not great these days. I hope being persistent will pay off at some point.

Crickets

Shouldn’t they have at least scheduled an all hands to discuss earnings by now? Maybe they are too busy planning the next riff or selling off part of or the entire company.

Elon has already beaten Mark

The market didn’t like the Earnings show

Here’s what I heard: *VSAT just invented “Monetization” to save us. So we have to believe an Amazon or a Starlink wouldn't be good at that, would they? *New CFO says that VSAT will delay “projects not essential for customers”. Like, we have so many... — read more

November 6th is the day

And no I’m not talking about the election results. If you thought we’ve had layoffs before, from tomorrow onwards it’s going to be really, REALLY ugly.

Can Viasat get everyone engaged and believing?

I left Viasat prior to Guru’s hiring and went to lunch with a bunch of former colleagues that stayed behind. I was astonished that all of there motivation and drive has deteriorated much more. The vitriol they spewed on how Guru and MD have deceived... — read more

3 years ago today

On my own, I punched out three years ago today. So glad I did. I’m sure it added years to my shelf life and time to spend with my kids. If I can offer you any advice at all. There is life after Viasat, take the Lump Sum, manage your own portfolio and... — read more

Job advertisements on LinkedIn

Viasat sure has a bunch of jobs posted on LinkedIn. Seems kind of sh---y to have people waste their time pursuing them.

Who are all of these trolls?

There’s just far too many of them who come here to defend the indefensible. Either Guru & MD are truly is paying these people to defend him, or we have a lot a holes with nothing better to do.

Seriously

Hey, so, what do you think is gonna happen next? Like, everyone knows about the problems Viasat's facing, right? The stock price is tanking, and there's no clear plan for how to fix things. I'm not worried about the stock price as much as I'm worried... — read more 

Earnings this quarter will be fine

Do you think United just immediately pulled the plug on all Viasat services? F1 came online and started generating revenue and working through the backlog. I would say earnings will probably beat. Do you think Rick Baldridge would just throw $825k of... — read more

What's astonishing is MD took 1-2 years off from CEO role to study the market and understand future trends. During all this time he never came to the conclusion that LEO was what the market was asking for. You could just go on Reddit and see scores... — read more

Regretting joining Viasat?

I just joined the sec team a little while ago and noticing a lack of capable people here. Lot's of talking heads and nobody knows anything. Don't want to regret too early but judging by this board here, I may have joined a sinking ship?

Most of ya'll have no idea what you're talking about, and have been blabbering the same thing for YEARS. Get out if you don't like it here - Viasat will be better off without you.

Why don't you just quit?

Several people I know keep saying they'd be "so, soooo happy" if they were laid off. If that's actually true, how come none of them quit? Nobody is holding them here against their will. Why do I keep hearing "oh, I am not worried, I want to be laid... — read more
