Q: Hi,

Your thoughts would be appreciated on the new $1.3B EchoStar contract announcement. What is your take on ability to deliver and future prospects? Is MDA benefitting from concerns about relying on StarLink?

Thank you, Michael

5i Research Answer:

MDA has benefited from Starlink/Musk concerns, with investors viewing the Trump/Musk feud as good for competitors. While there are always contract risks, we would not have big concerns on MDA's ability to execute. The contract was very impressive, up to $2.5B with options. Delivery is 2028 with commercial service in 2029. To put it into perspective, 2025 revenue estimate is $1.6B. We think the stock remains quite attractive at 32X earnings.
