SWOT Analysis: Spire Global Inc.


Strengths
– Existing infrastructure (LEO(Low Earth Orbit) Satellite Constellation

– Pending payments of contracts(RPOs):$250 million

– Reccuring revenue from Data as a Service (DaaS) contracts

– Strategic focus on defense and ai-weatherdata (lukrative fields for growing)
Weaknesses
– Not profitable / huge expenses

– Stock dilution

– Had to sell their maritime business (to gain liquidity and cover the debts, now $100 million in cash)

– Had problems selling the maritime business (sign of low demand)
Opportunities

– Growing market

– secure government contracts
(ESA and NOAA)

– R&D: $31 million annually (development of new sensors and softwares)

Threats
– Highly competitive market (fight for the limited contracts)

– vulnerable / volatile time
(restructuring of their strategy)

– declining revenue due to focusing on fields with better margin

In my opinion Spire Global and with that the stock has a huge potential. But as the market is so competitive there is a certain risk to it.
