Satellogic saved by Trump’s election win, holds on

Satellogic’s (NASDAQ: SATL) 2024 annual financials shows no breakout. Revenue grew modestly from from $10.7 to $12.6 million. Net loss was $116 million, highest on record. Satellogic stock traded around $1.00 per share pre-election. Like other (U.S. listed) space stocks, Satellogic stock rose dramatically post President Trump’s election win. The stock rose as high as $4.74, but as time of writing, trades back in the $3.00 range. With a $320 million market cap, Satellogic is worth more than Blacksky ($230 million) with similar debt, almost 1/10th the revenue, and no significant U.S. government contracts.

Satellogic’s reported annual revenue, net income, cash and long term debt. (millions, USD) Revenue as indicated by the blue has hardly grown. 2024 was the first year since going public that Satellogic took on debt, with the convertible financing from Tether.

Revenue growth stemmed from increased North American sales. Satellogic relocated its HQs to and re-registered in the United States in bid to qualify for U.S. government NRO sales. This completed in March 2025. Whether this leads to a contract/order from from the NRO remains to be seen.

Satellogic annual revenue by region (millions, USD). North American sales drove 2024 YoY revenue gains. Although Satellogic roots from and manufactures in South America, Planet Labs outsells Satellogic there.

Satellogic has sought to capitalize on the rise in its stock value. On December 10th Satellogic filed a registration statement with the SEC governing the sale of up to $150 million in new stock. On December 20th, they disclosed engaging Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. as sales agent for $50 million of new stock. The terms are not outrageous (like other space companies experienced, i.e. Sidus Space): 3% commission plus other fees. As of March 26th, Satellogic reported so far selling shares totaling $1,178,592 via this at the market sales offering.

In 2024, Satellogic’s cash outflow totaled $40.9 million. Their plan to sell $50 million worth of stock this year could allow them to continue operating through 2025 without incurring additional debt. Furthermore, as long as Satellogic’s stock price stays within the $3-$4 range, raising $50 million will require the sale of fewer shares, thus minimizing shareholder dilution.

As of December 31st, the publicly disclosed entities holding Satellogic stock valued at over $1 million were long-standing investors Liberty Capital, Cantor, and Softbank. This suggests that the recent surge in Satellogic’s stock price following the election has likely been primarily driven by retail investor activity.
