Iridium Communications shares may be 39% overvalued relative to a fair value estimate of $37.88, even as Rocket Lab’s takeover deal values the company at about $8 billion. The stock last closed at $52.59, well above that analyst-derived benchmark, while a separate discounted cash flow model points to a much higher fair value of $90.06. The collar-structured transaction offers a mix of cash and stock, and Iridium’s recent share price momentum has been sharp, with a year-to-date return of 196.11%. Key risks include slowing IoT service growth and a shift toward lower-value maritime plans.
