MDA Space has secured a C$688 million contract from the Canadian Space Agency to develop a radar satellite system. The deal represents a major government-backed revenue commitment for the company. Both sources confirm the contract value, with the work centered on radar satellite development for Canada's sovereign space infrastructure.
A single contract worth C$688 million is a material revenue event for a mid-cap aerospace and defense name like MDA Space — it locks in long-duration, government-backed cash flows that reduce earnings uncertainty. This is the kind of contract that typically triggers upward estimate revisions from sell-side analysts, which can reprice the stock. Investors in Canadian defense, space, and government-contract equities should pay attention.
