Intelsat S.A. reported lackluster third-quarter 2019 results, wherein the top line decreased year over year. Despite the soft quarterly performance, the company's share price increased 1.18% in yesterday's trading session following the results to eventually close at $26.52, probably driven by an unchanged outlook for the year. Net Loss On GAAP basis, net loss for the reported quarter was $148.3 million or loss of $1.05 per share compared with loss of $374.6 million or loss of $2.74 per share in the prior-year quarter. The narrower loss was mainly due to the absence of loss on early extinguishment of debt (amounting to $204.1 million), which was recorded in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted net loss per share was $1.05, which was wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of loss of $1. Intelsat S.A. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
