Why Gilat Satellite Networks (GILT) Is On Investors’ Radar Now

Gilat Satellite Networks (GILT) has drawn fresh attention after reporting strong third quarter 2025 earnings that exceeded analysts’ expectations and announcing a planned US$98.8 million private placement of ordinary shares at a discount.

See our latest analysis for Gilat Satellite Networks.

The latest move comes after Gilat’s shares touched a 52 week high of US$15.24 and sit at US$15.06 today, with a 30 day share price return of 15.23% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 139.81%. This points to strong momentum around the recent earnings surprise, capital raise and upcoming Needham Growth Conference appearance.

With the share price hovering near its 52 week high after a 1 year total return of 139.81%, the key question now is whether Gilat is still trading below its underlying worth or if the market is already pricing in future growth.
