Globalstar (GSAT) just finished construction on its expanded ground station in Nemea, Greece, with commissioning underway. This gives investors a fresh operational milestone to weigh against recent share performance.
Globalstar’s latest ground infrastructure milestone lands after a strong run in the shares, with a year to date share price return of 28.96% and a very large 1 year total shareholder return of 125.46%. This points to momentum that has been building rather than fading.

Globalstar has already rewarded holders with a very large 1 year gain, yet the Greece buildout and ongoing C 3 rollout keep the story evolving. Is most of the upside already captured, or do the numbers still leave room?
Most Popular Narrative: 8% Undervalued
Globalstar closed at $82.52, while the most followed narrative anchors fair value at $90. This framing sits behind much of the recent enthusiasm that has followed the Amazon offer and the Greece ground station milestone.
Advancements in software-defined radio (XCOM RAN) and Network-as-a-Service models create new opportunities to capture enterprise and horizontal markets (beyond initial customers), capitalizing on the convergence of satellite and terrestrial networks to drive incremental service and licensing revenues with improved gross margins.

Result: Fair Value of $90 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, long sales cycles, heavy satellite and ground capex, and any setback on Amazon related milestones could quickly challenge the current Globalstar upside narrative.

Another View On Globalstar’s Valuation
The first narrative leans on a fair value of $90 per share, yet Globalstar’s current P/S ratio of 38.1x tells a very different story. That multiple is far above the US Telecom peer average of 2.3x and the fair ratio of 2.9x, which suggests a lot already rests on optimistic expectations. If sentiment towards Globalstar cools, how much room is there before the market leans back toward that lower fair ratio target?
