The stock price of “Iridium Communications Inc.”

* Comment

Net income is still negative, but has improved extremely in 2020.

Also, Retained earning decreased a little for two straight years, but Free cash flow increased three times as much as 2019.

In addition to this, it's good situation because Equity ratio expanded for two straight years too.

However, whereas Total stockholders' equity reduced for two straight years.

The stock price might grow a little or maintain the same level in 2021.

Particularly, if Net income changes to positive, it's likely to grow steadily after that.



* Comment

The liabilities of Net income expanded and Retained earning decreased a little.

The company purchased Common stock, but Total equity and liabilities and stockholders' equity reduced.

However, Equity ratio increased and Free cash flow turned positive.

We hope that the company makes Net income and is expanded Free cash flow in 2020 in order to raise the stock price.



* Comment

The liabilities of Net income expanded and turned negative.

Also, Current ratio went down a little.

In addition, Free cash flow and Equity ratio went down a little.

However, it doesn't have a matter.

That's why, the stock price in 2019 might stagnate a little.
