Viasat Inc has an operating margin of 2.3%, meaning the company retains $2 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This below-average margin results in a low score of 14/100, suggesting thin profitability after operating expenses. This is up from -2.2% the prior year.
Viasat Inc's revenue grew a modest 2.7% year-over-year to $4.6B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 40/100.
Viasat Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 1.37, meaning only $1.37 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 74/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Viasat Inc generates a -0.7% ROE, indicating limited profit relative to shareholders' investment. This results in a returns score of 0/100. This is up from -12.6% the prior year.
Viasat Inc scores 0.96, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is driven primarily by a large market capitalization ($9.2B) relative to total liabilities ($10.5B). This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.
Viasat Inc passes 6 of 9 financial strength tests. 3 of 4 profitability signals pass, 2 of 3 leverage/liquidity signals pass, both operating efficiency signals pass.
For every $1 of reported earnings, Viasat Inc generates $-46.64 in operating cash flow ($1.6B OCF vs -$34.1M net income). This mixed ratio suggests some earnings may rely on non-cash accounting items.
Viasat Inc earns $0.3 in operating income for every $1 of interest expense ($108.1M vs $360.3M). This narrow margin raises concern about the company's ability to service its debt if operating income declines.
