Needham & Company maintains a 'Hold' on ViaSat (NASDAQ: VSAT).

Analyst, Richard Valera, said, "We are trimming our estimates, mainly for slower assumed Gov’t. growth. That said, we acknowledge an unusually high potential for variance from our estimates given the fluid state of company’s service ramp. F12 goes to $866MM/$0.96/$161MM (Rev/PF EPS/EBITDA) from $897MM/$0.95/$162MM. F13 goes to $1.053B/$1.35/$239MM from $1.064B/$1.57/$237MM."
