Watch this before investing in AST SpaceMobile

Updates: (1) AT&T, T-Mobile & Verizon proposed a joint satellite-coverage venture — AST welcomed it, SpaceX didn't. (2) Japan is backing a Rakuten–AST network with nearly $1B in subsidies; service targeted for late 2026. AST SpaceMobile wants to turn ordinary smartphones into satellite phones—without a special dish, antenna, or new device. Its enormous BlueBird satellites are designed to deliver voice, video, and broadband directly from space to the phone already in your pocket. The technology has attracted AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone, Google, Rakuten, and dozens of mobile operators around the world. The stock has also risen roughly 33X from its 2024 low. So is AST SpaceMobile building one of the most important communications networks of the next decade—or is the stock already pricing in years of perfect execution? In this episode of the Watch Before Investing series, we break down: • Why billions of people still lack reliable mobile coverage • How an ordinary phone can connect directly to space • Why AST’s giant satellite antenna matters • How phased arrays and beamforming work • AST SpaceMobile versus Starlink Direct to Cell • Why texting from space is easier than broadband • AST’s partnerships with AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone and other carriers • How the company plans to make money • How many satellites are needed for continuous coverage • AST’s current revenue, losses, cash burn and valuation • The strongest bull case • The strongest bear case • Five things investors should watch every quarter The central question is not simply whether AST’s technology works. It is whether the company can manufacture, launch and commercialize enough satellites—on schedule—before competitors close the gap.
