The AI's read

Gilat beat Q2 estimates. Revenue was $122.7M and adjusted EPS was $0.20, with EBITDA up 31%. Management says Defense momentum and the Comtech deal would create a >$700M pro forma business. The stock is down about 4.4% today, so the market is pricing some deal or execution risk. We lean bullish but cautious because the acquisition meaningfully increases scale while still needing regulatory clearance and execution. If the deal closes, upside looks real, but near-term volatility is likely.

Comtech's sale of its satellite business to Gilat is progressing, which is expected to enhance Gilat's capabilities and revenue significantly.
