Description: CMTL Comtech Telecommunications October 19, 2025
Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ:CMTL) delivers next-generation telecommunications hardware and services through two primary segments: Satellite & Space Communications and Terrestrial & Wireless Networks. The satellite segment supplies ground-station gear, power amplifiers, modems, VSAT platforms, and high-precision tracking antennas for GEO, MEO and LEO constellations, plus over-the-horizon troposcatter links that can span up to 200 mi. The terrestrial segment focuses on public-safety infrastructure, including next-gen 911 routing, emergency-services IP transport, and wireless alert solutions for government and commercial users.
Key operational metrics (FY 2023) show revenue of roughly $1.3 billion, with the satellite segment contributing about 55 % of sales and delivering an operating margin near 9 %. Backlog growth accelerated 18 % YoY, driven largely by contracts with defense contractors and commercial satellite operators expanding LEO constellations. The company’s exposure to the broader 5G rollout and increasing defense spending on secure communications are material sector drivers that could lift demand for its high-power RF and tracking solutions.
Comtech’s balance sheet remains relatively conservative, with a debt-to-equity ratio of ~0.4 and cash on hand of $150 million, providing flexibility for R&D investment in solid-state amplifiers and for pursuing strategic acquisitions in the space-ground segment.
