Intact: The reason to own it still holds.
BlackSky aims to grow revenue to $130-$150 million in 2026. The company targets positive adjusted EBITDA of $12-$24 million in 2026. Capital spending is controlled between $50 million and $60 million. These goals show a path to profitability and growth.
The company is loss-making with negative EPS expected through 2027. Recent quarters showed revenue declines and earnings misses. The stock has sold off sharply, reflecting risk. Execution and growth remain uncertain.
The market prices in about 52% revenue growth but expects continued losses. Our fair value is about 8% above the current price but 29% below the Street median, reflecting skepticism. We see risk in meeting profitability targets.
Breaks if: Adjusted EBITDA falls below $12 million in FY26
The company expects adjusted EBITDA to be between $12 million and $24 million for the full year 2026.
This is not a price target or investment advice.
A long-form read on the 1–3 year hold thesis. It updates when the weekly evidence changes.
This investment represents a turnaround situation, as BKSY is currently loss-making but aims to improve its financial performance. The thesis is in a cautious state due to recent weak results and high risks in the sector.
The market appears to have priced in a justified valuation, with a low expectations gap. However, BKSY trades at a premium compared to its peers, indicating that investors may expect some recovery despite the current challenges.
Management has set priorities to increase revenue and achieve positive adjusted EBITDA, showing some progress. However, recent financial performance has been weak, and the company’s momentum has significantly declined.
The long-term thesis hinges on management's ability to meet revenue and EBITDA targets while navigating sector headwinds. Additionally, the performance of sector bellwethers like UBER and ADP will be crucial in determining BKSY's trajectory.
The most important moves since the prior daily snapshot.
Yes, our read has weakened. The latest earnings miss is a key reason. The company reported a larger loss than expected. This performance is below its industry peers.

Breaks if: Revenue falls below $130 million in FY26
Raise full year 2026 revenue outlook based on strong sales and demand for Gen-3 space-based intelligence services.
Stated as a priority in 2 of last 2 quarters. Revenue grew from $20.8 million in 2026-Q1 to $33.3 million in 2026-Q2, a 60% increase quarter-over-quarter. Management raised and then reaffirmed full year 2026 revenue guidance to between $130 million and $150 million, reflecting delivery and accelerating growth.
