Canaccord Genuity analyst Austin Moeller maintained a Buy rating on Spire Global (SPIR – Research Report) yesterday and set a price target of $26.00.
Austin Moeller has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Spire Global’s operations and market potential. Moeller is particularly impressed with Spire’s competitive edge in the weather data sector, where its LEMUR satellite constellation provides global coverage that is both cost-efficient and unmatched in terms of data volume and precision. The company’s significant lead in this niche—estimated at six years—stems from its expansive historical weather data and the application of AI for insights, which collectively create a formidable barrier to entry for potential competitors.
Moreover, Moeller highlights Spire Global’s emerging opportunities within the European air traffic control (ATC) network, underpinned by an $18 million contract from the European Space Agency. The next-generation satellite-based ATC system Spire is developing promises a substantial upgrade in geolocation capabilities, with the potential to overcome current limitations like signal jamming. Financially, Moeller notes the company’s modest capital expenditure for satellite replenishment and the cash-generating nature of its operations post-launch. He also points to ongoing negotiations to refinance a high-interest loan which should improve the company’s financial position. These elements, combined with the company’s trajectory towards positive free cash flow and high-margin operations, underlie Moeller’s Buy rating and a price target that suggests Spire should be valued more in line with SaaS companies.
