Eutelsat Shares Surge 47% in 2025 on Ukraine Role and European Investment
Eutelsat shares have surged by 47% in 2025, fueled by speculation about its role in Ukraine and significant European investment. The company aims to reduce Europe's dependence on U.S. technology in the satellite market.
Europe is pouring funds into the satellite industry, with France leading a €1.5 billion investment in Eutelsat. This move is seen as a push for a European alternative to Starlink, with Germany's involvement being crucial for Eutelsat to become a serious contender.
Analysts caution that the capital boost is a temporary fix, and Germany's participation will be vital for Europe's space ambitions. The war in Ukraine has highlighted the importance of satellite internet, prompting European lawmakers to seek latest news alternatives to Starlink for both military and civilian communications. Eutelsat plans to deploy 340 more satellites as part of a €2 billion investment plan, aiming to catch up with Starlink.
Eutelsat's stock has rebounded on hopes of a larger role in Ukraine and broader political support. The company has already supplied thousands of user terminals to Kyiv, backed by German funding. France has pledged €750 million to the debt-laden company, leading a €1.5 billion investment from EU member states. However, the current state of negotiations between Eutelsat and Germany remains unclear.
