Investing.com -- Eutelsat stock jumped nearly 5% after it reported stronger-than-expected annual earnings on Tuesday, supported by rising demand for its satellite internet services from government and enterprise clients.

Revenue from video, connectivity, and government services totaled €1.23 billion for the year ended June 30, a 0.8% increase from the previous year and slightly ahead of the €1.21 billion forecast in a company-compiled analyst consensus.

Revenue from its low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite operations surged 84.1% year-on-year to €187 million, with stronger government service demand driven by operations in Ukraine and growing interest from non-U.S. governments, notably Taiwan.

For the fourth quarter alone, revenues in Eutelsat’s operating verticals reached €326 million, roughly 5% above consensus estimates. Organic revenue declined 2.1% year-on-year, a slight improvement from the 2.2% drop in the previous quarter, though the video segment remained under pressure.

Full-year EBITDA stood at €676 million, ahead of the €625 million expected by analysts.

Looking ahead, Eutelsat expects LEO revenue to grow by 50% next year. While this will help offset losses in its legacy geostationary satellite segment, it won’t fully compensate yet.

The company reported a net loss of €1.1 billion for the fiscal year, largely due to impairments linked to its GEO assets.

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) analysts said Eutelsat shares "are highly volatile, but up >30% year-to-date on the back of greater European defence spending and recent capital increase announcement."
