Amazon Vs. Starlink: The $9 Billion Globalstar Deal That Could Change Everything
Summary Globalstar surged on rumors of a $9B Amazon acquisition, but the deal remains unconfirmed and faces significant hurdles. AMZN seeks GSAT's L- and S-band spectrum to leapfrog Starlink in direct-to-device satellite connectivity and bolster Project Leo’s competitive positioning. Apple holds a 20% stake and controls 85% of GSAT's network capacity, creating a major potential veto risk for any acquisition.

Globalstar's balance sheet and cash flows should improve significantly over the next few years, particularly if IoT and private networks become strong growth contributors. While Globalstar's stock isn't necessarily cheap, its high revenue multiple is a function of its high EBITDA margins and growth potential. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Feb 14
