Description: TSAT Telesat November 17, 2025
Telesat Corp (NASDAQ:TSAT) is a Canadian satellite operator that delivers mission-critical communications across GEO and LEO platforms to a global customer base spanning North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Africa. Its portfolio includes broadcast services (direct-to-home TV and video contribution), enterprise solutions (carrier backhaul, government and maritime links, consumer broadband), and consulting/R&D offerings such as satellite-control and space-segment studies. Sales are executed primarily through a direct-force model, and the firm leverages both satellite capacity and terrestrial infrastructure to provide end-to-end connectivity for sectors ranging from rural telephony to offshore oil & gas.
Key recent metrics: the Lightspeed LEO constellation, slated for 300+ satellites, is projected to reach commercial service in 2025 with an estimated $1.5 billion annual revenue run-rate by 2026. Telesat’s 2023 revenue grew 8% YoY to $1.12 billion, while its debt-to-EBITDA ratio stood at 3.2×, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of satellite build-out. A primary sector driver is the accelerating demand for high-capacity backhaul to support 5G rollouts and rural broadband initiatives, which the satellite industry is expected to capture at a CAGR of roughly 12% through 2029.
