Why Are Gogo Shares Trading Higher Today?

  • Gogo Inc GOGO hosted an investor call on September 30 to discuss the increased long-term financial targets.
  • The presentation disclosed that 85% of all broadband-connected business aviation aircraft in North America use Gogo.
  • Gogo operates in an underpenetrated market with penetration of just ~30%. Gogo expects ~50% growth to over 11,000 aircraft with connectivity by 2025.
  • Gogo's competitive advantages include a future-proof AVANCE platform, proprietary ATG network, and differentiated GTM strategy.
  • The AVANCE penetration is a cornerstone of Gogo's strategy for long-term revenue and ARPU growth.

  • He believes the in-flight connectivity market is "poised for a decade-long opportunity for growth."
  • Price Action: GOGO shares traded higher by 10% at $18.47 on the last check Thursday.
