I'm going to take the liberty of posting a few updates $SESG (-1,4%) . I’m probably pretty much the only one here who’s invested in this company. Overall, though, I think there’s a lot going on at the company. So far, I’ve only invested a small amount, but I’ll likely expand that position a bit over the next few months.

Multi-Orbit Connectivity
$SESG (-1,4%) (SES S.A.) cooperates with $BA (+0,94%) (Boeing) in the area of multi-orbit connectivity. All aircraft delivered by Boeing in the future will be equipped with the option of a multi-orbit antenna provided by SES, which will be installed directly at the factory by Boeing when the package is implemented.
Press release from 14.04.2026
Share price increase of SES S.A.
$SESG (-1,4%) - the satellite operator from Luxembourg has performed well to very well over the past month (up almost 30% on the month as of today).
I actually have the stock in my portfolio as a dividend payer and was just about to build up the position further, but the price is now running away from me.
I went through the company news of the last few weeks. The positive share price performance is fueled by:
- Strong revenue growth in the first quarter of 2026, with SES reporting an 80.5% increase in revenue to EUR 847 million as Intelsat's figures are now fully consolidated following the merger in July 2025.
- Good operating result. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 44.2% to 404 million euros. This has strengthened the market's confidence in the profitability of the merger.
- Lower capital expenditure. Planned investments for 2026 were capped at around EUR 700 million, which protects free cash flow and accelerates the planned debt reduction.
- Good development of the Networks and Mobility division. The business with connectivity for aviation is growing rapidly; almost 600 aircraft are already flying with the SES platform.
- Government contracts and defense. The demand for secure, satellite-based communication is increasing. There is an order backlog of over 3.5 billion euros from European and US authorities.
It's a pity I wasn't quicker to build up the position. Nevertheless, I think I will gradually buy a little more.

🚥 My traffic lights 🚦
Hello my dears,
to my company presentation of $SESG (-1,4%) SES there was a good addition in the comments from @Raketentoni . Which has its own screening system, so thank you my dear for keeping an eye on it again. And for telling us the dangers by name.
To make my work a little easier, I always use the TraderFox Scoring Systems.
I've already done a series on this called 🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣Points Kings.
Here, however, I have only selected the green values, i.e. with a high number of points.
And in my company presentations, I only include the green scores.
So you can assume that if no scoring is inserted, it is a value in the yellow or red range.
So my question to the community is, would you also like me to add yellow and red ratings in future?
For classification, there are:
- Quality check
- Growth check
- Dividend check
- Robustness check
Many of you will have used the TraderFox Scoring and already use it yourselves.
Here you refer to the history.
This means
(related to the quality check)
- 🔴Red or 🟡yellow values do not necessarily have to be bad and may also offer greater opportunities. But they may not yet have a long history. Or perhaps they have only just become profitable.
However, you should assume that such stocks are less conservative and also carry a certain risk risk.
- 🟢 Stocks often have a longer history. And the companies have proven stability. In other words, they have shown that they can cope even in stormy times. They are often long-term runners and compounders.
And mostly companies with a moat.
We're talking about the greens here.
- My dears, the fact that the quality check is not a 100% guarantee is shown quite well by the example of $EXLS (-1,74%) Exl Service. The share gets top marks because it has delivered in the past. But it has now been hugely penalized by the figment of AI's imagination.
PS. All my company ideas are of course not stock recommendations. Everyone is responsible for themselves and must make their own decisions.
Quality check for shares (here again the exact explanation of the quality check)
×
The TraderFox quality check assigns up to 15 points to each share. We use key figures that have become established in finance to distinguish quality from junk. The special thing about our quality check is that the 15 criteria are always considered in the context of the rest of the shares on the market. According to the principle: a key figure is considered to be fulfilled if the company performs better than, for example, 65% of all other companies in the respective reference market. The quality check is intended firstly to help investors reduce the risk of investments and secondly to draw attention to outstanding investment opportunities.
The following are the key figures and threshold values used
Growth and stability:
- Sales growth 5 years; 50%
- Stability Sales growth 5 years; 65%
- EPS growth 5 years; 50%
- Stability EPS growth 5 years; 65%
Profitability and profitability
- Return on equity; 50%
- Return on capital employed; 50%
- Net profit margin; 50%
Share price performance and volatility
- Volatility; 50% (ranking reversed)
- Performance per year; 50%
- Price stability; 50%
Security and balance sheet
- Financial debt; 50% (ranking reversed)
- EBIT / debt; 25%
- EBIT / interest payment; 25%
Red flags
- P/E ratio too high?; 10% (ranking reversed)
- P/E ratio too high?; 10% (ranking reversed)

Spontaneous purchase
You shouldn't really make spontaneous purchases, but I just couldn't resist@Tenbagger2024 I simply couldn't resist this one. Thanks for the introduction. I'll probably buy more of these when I have more money again. 😏
Space share with a dividend yield to take off 🚀
Hello my dears,
our good @Dividendenopi (Gartenopi), mentioned in a comment yesterday that he was still looking for an exciting stock with a good dividend yield in the industrial sector.
When I then mentioned a space stock, he must have @Klein-Anleger had to smile a little. And he commented:
"There's no such thing as a space company paying dividends".
I'm really looking forward to the comments that I've managed to find a company.
I really like this one:
- In 2027, the net result will grow by +203 %
- Free cash flow remains constant (nevertheless, one should keep an eye on the debt)
- EBIT margin and ROE increase well (but are not overwhelming, but good compared to other satellite operators. These often do not have a positive EBIT margin and are not profitable).
- Dividend yield increases to an excellent 9 %
- 82 % annual performance, despite high dividend yield (Growth and dividend)
- P/E ratio falls and the PEG is then a good 1.2x
My dears, what do you like and what don't you like?
You should all be aware of the potential in the sector by now.
SES S.A. specializes in satellite communication and media transmission solutions. With a fleet of around 120 satellites in two different orbits, geostationary orbit (GEO) and medium earth orbit (MEO), SES is positioning itself as a global player offering connectivity and video transmission on land, at sea and in the air. The expansion was accelerated by, among other things, the completed acquisition of Intelsat in July, making SES a global powerhouse in multi-orbit connectivity.
The company aims to increase profitability through targeted investments in new technologies and the modernization of its satellite fleet. Particular attention is being paid to the O3b mPOWER system, a satellite constellation in the MEO that provides high-performance connectivity for governments, mobile network operators and companies. Last year, the Group announced the placement of a dual-tranche bond with a volume of EUR 1.0 billion in June. This provides the Group with the necessary liquidity for future investments and expansion.
On September 25, European shares from the "space technologies" trend saw positive price reactions. The trigger was the announcement by German Defense Minister Pistorius that a total of EUR 35 billion would be made available for space projects and a security architecture in space by 2030. The initial reaction of SES S.A. was positive. The share stabilized at the GD 20 and thus laid the foundation for the next upward wave. In this scenario, the share could prepare to break out of the consolidation that has been ongoing since June and reach a 52-week high.
SES S.A. has a bold vision to deliver captivating experiences by distributing the highest quality video content and providing seamless connectivity around the world, anywhere in the world. As a leading provider of global content connectivity solutions, SES S.A. operates the world's only multi-orbit satellite constellation with a unique combination of global coverage and high performance, including the commercially proven low-latency O3b system in medium Earth orbit. By leveraging an extensive and intelligent cloud-enabled network, SES S.A. is able to deliver high-quality connectivity solutions anywhere on land, at sea or in the air. SES S.A. is a trusted partner for the world's leading telecommunications companies, mobile network operators, governments, connectivity and cloud service providers, broadcasters, video platform operators and content owners.
SES S.A.'s video network broadcasts more than 6,300 channels and has an unrivaled reach of around 362 million homes. The company provides managed media services for linear and non-linear content.

Here's an unvarnished look at SES S.A. (LU0088087324) - and I'll tell you right up front: This is a prime example of an absolute value trap, where your hard exclusion criteria are flashing like an alarm system.
Here are the current key figures (as at today, 26.02.2026, share price at around € 6.40)
Price-Earnings Ratio (P/E ratio): Extremely high to negative (In 2024, the bottom-line reported profit was a tiny €15m on €2bn sales. SES often slips deep into the red in quarters).
Price-cash flow ratio (KCV): approx. 2.6 (Attention: optical illusion, explanation follows below!).
Price-sales ratio (KUV): approx. 1.2.
Price-Book Value Ratio (KBV): approx. 1.0.
Dividend Yield: approx. 7.8 % (most recently € 0.50 per share).
The reality check according to your formulas
1. the core quality formula (sales growth + operating margin)
Here your filter experiences a total system crash:
Sales growth: organic growth in recent years has been a complete tragedy (stagnant to negative, mostly around -1% to +2%). The only growth now comes at the cost of the gigantic takeover of competitor Intelsat.
Operating margin: Satellite operators have a high EBITDA margin, but satellites become obsolete and have to be written off mercilessly. If we look at the real EBIT (the hard operating margin after depreciation and amortization), SES is often at a tiny 1% to a maximum of 9%.
Your score: In the best case scenario, you get a score of 10.
Your own judgment: Anything below 15 is weak. The share crashes through your quality grid.
2. the cash flow quality formula & dividend filter
Now it gets really exciting, because this is where the trap beckons:
SES generates massive operating cash flow (often over €1 billion).
BUT (The CapEx monster): The business model (launching satellites into space) is absurdly capital-intensive. CapEx eats up between 600 and 700 million euros a year!
The adjusted free cash flow (FCF) was around € 250 million in 2024. With the current market capitalization of around €2.7 billion, the free cash flow yield is therefore an attractive 9.2%.
The dividend check: The dividend (approx. € 185 million payout) is just about covered by this FCF. But at what price? SES is currently sitting on a gigantic mountain of debt of almost EUR 5.8 billion (net leverage of over 3.7x after the Intelsat takeover). Leaving the dividend untouched in such a massive debt situation borders on balance sheet acrobatics.
3. your ironclad exclusion criterion
You set the rule yourself: No buy if revenue growth is stagnant/negative or if operating margin is permanently < 5 % ist. Beides ist bei SES der Fall. Das organische Geschäft blutet langfristig aus, und unterm Strich bleibt (nach Abschreibungen) kaum Gewinn übrig.
Dazu kommt das absolute „Story > Numbers" scenario: SES is currently selling the grand fantasy of a "multi-orbit revolution", Intelsat integration and the new European satellite network IRIS2. The harsh reality on the books, however, is a stagnating, highly indebted company that has to immediately put every penny it earns back into space just to avoid losing touch with Elon Musk's Starlink.
My conclusion (in a nutshell)
FINGER AWAY! Don't be dazzled by the almost 8% dividend yield. SES is not a real "cash machine", but an extremely capital-intensive, highly indebted infrastructure tomb whose share price has been on a downward trajectory for years (from over €20 in 2017 to €6.40 today).
This is exactly the kind of "value trap" that your own formulas perfectly protect you from.
I would say a bit emotional
Greetings :)
I'm almost too interested in the whole stock market topic. Over the last few weeks, I've been completely fixated on shares and finance.
Every day I've been following the posts on the platform, looking through all the portfolios and thinking about what to do next.
Sometimes I ignored the saying "time in the market beats timing the market" and unconsciously started gambling.
I thought about investment strategies every day. Sometimes I simply implemented crazy ideas, which I thought were stupid the next day.
My starting position was 4 ETFs. An All World, a Europe, an Asia and the Gerd Kommer ETF as mentioned in the previous post.
In the end, I decided on the $VWRL (+0,09%) . I sold each ETF to create 2 new positions with the total amount. $SESG (-1,4%) & $VNA (-0,33%) to open. The rest of the total amount was placed entirely in the ETF. I had been watching both individual stocks for a while now and had read up on them. I am convinced of both companies so far. Both make up 6% of the portfolio and will be added to later when the time is right.
In addition, I add $SIE (+0,56%) back into my portfolio via a savings plan. I save this position until it has reached a weighting of 10% in the portfolio.
Once this has been reached, I would like to take the same step with an insurer. However, I have not yet decided whether this will also be a German share like $ALV (-0,61%) or whether I will opt for a Swiss share like $SREN (-0,21%) will be chosen.
Besides, I still have stocks on the screen like $NVDA (+0,74%) | $AMD (+4,6%) | $GOOGL (-0,89%) | $BATS (-0,2%) | $KO (-0,67%) which I am actually convinced of, but am only observing for the time being.
Stocks like $KTN (+0,19%) | $RTLL (-0,23%) | $8001 (-1,51%) | $SOFI (-1,19%) | $6861 (+1,01%) are and will remain quite interesting, but I still have some uncertainties.
$BTC (-0,13%) will find its way into my portfolio sooner or later. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to open another position. So I'll wait and see
Brief battle plan:
- asset accumulation
- Higher savings plan + focus on one ETF
- Add or expand positions through dividends.
- Enforce 10% share limit
- Keep calm and don't become stingy again
Should work.
PS: the vacation pay thing was completely nonsensical.
Let's forget that, please :).
Intelsat and Embraer install a multi-orbit service at the factory
$SESG (-1,4%) 10.48% dividend yield
McLean, Va. - Intelsat, operator of the world's largest integrated satellite and terrestrial networks and a leading provider of in-flight connectivity (IFC), will soon launch a fast, reliable multi-orbit connectivity service for Embraer E2 aircraft, beginning the day the aircraft is delivered. This is possible thanks to a new line-fit agreement with Embraer (NYSE: ERJ / B3: EMBR3), which allows the aircraft manufacturer to install the equipment during factory production.
"Intelsat is the first multi-orbit satellite on-board connectivity system with an electronically steered antenna (ESA) array to be installed at the Embraer factory. It provides passengers with reliable streaming connectivity from the moment the aircraft enters service," said Rob Baird, Director of OEM Programs at Intelsat. "Passengers on board Embraer E2 aircraft will soon benefit from multi-orbit connectivity that offers the same fast and reliable Internet access as at home thanks to wide coverage and low latency."
Under the buyer-provided equipment agreement to offer Intelsat's multi-orbit system as an installation option for Embraer's E2 aircraft, airline customers can order aircraft with the Intelsat ESA system installed and operational upon delivery.
"At Embraer, we pride ourselves on building the most efficient, reliable and comfortable narrow-body aircraft in the world and continuously developing technologies that improve aircraft performance and the passenger experience," said Martyn Holmes, CCO of Embraer Commercial Aviation. "With Intelsat's IFC system now available as standard, we are providing our airline customers with a highly optimized in-flight Wi-Fi experience that ensures their competitiveness and delights their passengers."
