What Happened?

Shares of satellite communications provider jumped 4.3% in the morning session after the company signed an agreement with Karrier One to expand its Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity across the globe. 

The partnership aimed to integrate Iridium's satellite communication services into Karrier One's telecom infrastructure. This move was intended to provide IoT connectivity in remote areas that traditional mobile networks could not serve, without the need for installing local base stations. The collaboration represented a step forward in connecting devices in hard-to-reach locations, potentially opening up new opportunities for Iridium's satellite technology.

After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $18.41, up 4.3% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Iridium’s shares are quite volatile and have had 18 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 6 days ago when the stock gained 4.6% on the news that the latest Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index report aligned with economists' predictions, signaling that inflation is under control. The Core PCE Price Index, which is closely watched by the Federal Reserve as it excludes volatile food and energy costs, rose 0.2% month-over-month and 2.9% year-over-year. These figures precisely matched Wall Street estimates. This alignment provides relief for investors and reinforces the market's belief that inflationary pressures are being managed without harming economic growth. The positive market reaction highlights a growing conviction that the Federal Reserve will likely proceed with its anticipated path of interest rate cuts, which would make capital cheaper and help stimulate further economic expansion.

Iridium is down 37.8% since the beginning of the year, and at $18.41 per share, it is trading 45.2% below its 52-week high of $33.57 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Iridium’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $698.18.
