The latest update is out from Telesat Corp ( (TSE:TSAT) ).

On January 21, 2026, Telesat stated that certain creditors holding portions of its legacy geostationary orbit (GEO) debt have filed lawsuits in New York and Ontario challenging the September 2025 equity distribution of its Telesat Lightspeed business. The company said the litigation, initiated at the direction of a group of distressed debt hedge funds, is without merit, emphasizing that the contested equity distribution followed a robust governance process and complied with all relevant debt agreements and laws, and it pledged to defend itself vigorously while maintaining focus on supporting customers, advancing the Lightspeed program and creating long-term value for stakeholders.

Spark’s Take on TSE:TSAT Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:TSAT is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held down by weak financial performance (declining revenue, persistent losses, high leverage, and poor free cash flow). Technicals are mixed with the stock below key shorter-term averages, offering limited support. The earnings call provides some offset via reaffirmed guidance and Lightspeed progress, but is constrained by ongoing revenue pressure and a significant net loss; valuation remains hard to assess favorably due to negative earnings and no dividend.
