🚨🚨 $ASTS WEEK IN REVIEW🚨🚨

Everything, all at once. That, and more priceless insights in the Weekly… Image
🌋BREAKOUT!

I FELT IT LAST WEEK. And Boom, everything all at once.

📣Cantor Initiates

It starts. We'll get BAML soon. That could fire up a lot of long only buying and add significant credibility. Cantor notes that the #Spacemob is healthy and an asset. True. MNOs are free to use us. We love you. A waffle party went a long way toward getting our allegiance.

PS, where the f- is the Barclays coverage?

🤖Cantor said "AI"

AI is empowered by ASTS. Wait for it.

🤔Sellside Will Have So Much to Write

First they will focus on tech differences. But then the business model separation will occur where one company has structurally higher margins

🔎Investor Interest

Investor interest is surging in the space. Most are trying to figure out fixed broadband b/c there is so much to trade there when it comes to cable etc. But as they learn, I promise you will learn about mobile. The demand and interest is there. Investors are hearing about Starlink competing with terrestrial telecom. This is the trojan horse. It'll lead to multiple compression for MNOs. This is why $ASTS is the ideal partner - they aren't competing with MNOS.

🏰As Investors Study Starlink, They'll Realize ASTS is the MNO Hedge

As the threat to MNOs is realized, the swamp will mobilize

⚡️ASTS Goes Big Time

The next 2-4 years is going to be all about this, and then it's likely fully adopted and just a big company with big moats

📺Fox News Covers ASTS

A story so simple even institutional investors can understand it

🗞️FT Covers ASTS

They are here, they are there, they are f-ing everywhere!

🇪🇸Big Things Happen at MWC

This is where deals get signed. This year, more than any other year, $ASTS might decide to sign DAs and get it going

🚀A Launch Party Is Coming

Prepare your naan…ISRO is coming

🫂Staffing for More Launch

ISRO is just the beginning. It's about to be hammer time.

📶If I'm Right about Ligado, ASTS will be launching A LOT

Let's get that spectrum and then we'll likely have a separate shell just for the government, doubling our opportunity

😜Speaking Of Other Use Cases

IoT and B2B could be just as big as consumer

Image
🐈Meanwhile, Cats are great for killing vermin

Remember, we didn't domesticate the cat…they domesticated us. FUDsters are just getting murdered. To think Spacemob (rough guess) owns around 10MM shares. This means Spacemob has made around $250MM of PnL since the lows against the will of Tim Farrar. Pretty crazy. $250MM. Think about that.

First FUD was about FCC particulars. We've been here before. The laws of man will not bend the will of nature (TM, theKOOKReport 2025).

🌎ASTS - The Global Telecom

A business that is instantly global will get an insane trading multiple

🐈‍⬛ASTS is Different

Barclays explaining to people that $ASTS is an NVDA chip to Starlink's x386 Pentium chip

🚑FirstNet Coming

They literally say FirstNet is coming. I'm sure we'll be up huge when it's formally announced, just like the AT&T D&A. We have seen time and time again how much alpha is in the #Spacemob.

Image
📲Reminder about VZ

This DA is in the bag. All the CP's must have been met by now. Maybe it takes a successful call.

🇪🇺European Opportunity

It seems unrealistic Europe will be able to create its own solution. The natural path is to partner with ASTS, which has significant operations in Europe. Throw a few launches to Arianne and the local content goes up.

Let's thank Peter Lindmark for negotiating this for us.

The relationship a lot of us are looking at is Cohere.

🎙️🎙️Spacman Goes To Egypt

A great interview. Tut is smart as shit. Can't believe we got a guy with these talents on our side

🎆Incredible View of Starship Missing Orbit

Still incredible to watch

🇨🇦Retaliation Against Elon

Canada makes it personal. The nexus to hit back at Trump ends up being to hit Elon

🇿🇦Elon No Phone Home

The government was not going to let Starlink come in on its own terms. The swamp monster won.

🥊Starlink Beatdown Coming

#Spacemob does not need to, nor should it publicly beat down on Ben and others. Let them have their echo chamber. The true dirty work will happen on the docket.

💩Man from Failed Satellite Competitor Company Doubts ASTS Publicly

Whatever. He's right. Let's just say that his FUD is in our discount rate. Moving on…

🪃Keeping Starlink Honest

People have no problem slinging history at $ASTS. Boomerang!

AST SpaceMobile’s Transformational Year:
ASTS has undergone a significant evolution over the past year, transforming from a company grappling with technical and financial uncertainty to one with strong partnerships (Google, Verizon, AT&T), validated FCC approvals, government deals, and an emerging satellite technology platform. Block 1 deployment has shown real progress, and ASTS is now positioned as a potential leader in the direct-to-device satellite market. Challenges remain in scaling, securing additional funding, and achieving full regulatory approval.

Competitive Landscape: ASTS vs. Starlink:
Expert interviews highlight AST SpaceMobile’s unique approach with high-capacity satellites and large antennas, enabling superior speeds (20–100 Mbps). In contrast, Starlink leverages its rapid satellite deployment and spectrum agreements with T-Mobile to offer near-term services but with limited capacity and slower speeds (1–2 Mbps). Both companies face regulatory, technical, and financial hurdles as they race to capture growing demand in satellite-based IoT and connectivity markets.

Market Dynamics and Catalysts:
Key upcoming catalysts include potential BAML analyst coverage, further FCC spectrum decisions, and advancements in ASTS’s satellite deployments. Spectrum reuse and beamforming technologies remain critical to ASTS’s ability to scale and compete effectively. Meanwhile, broader telco market changes, like Verizon selling 6,300 towers and AT&T phasing out copper networks, underscore the push toward capital-efficient infrastructure and advanced wireless technologies.

Regulatory and Legal Developments:
Viasat has filed complaints against Starlink’s spectrum use, emphasizing interference and procedural concerns. This adds complexity to the regulatory landscape as ASTS and others vie for approval. ASTS’s ability to navigate these challenges will be pivotal for its success.

Investor Sentiment and Financial Developments:
Tax-loss selling and prior high trading volumes at levels above $25 suggest a reset in investor expectations, creating opportunities for a fresh start in 2025. ASTS’s recent shareholder decisions and redemptions also provide clarity on its financial position going into the new year.
Industry Highlights:

Telco Evolution: AT&T’s $6B annual maintenance cost for copper networks highlights the operational burdens of legacy infrastructure. Phasing out copper could unlock billions in recoverable resources.
Blue Origin and SpaceX Updates: Excitement continues in the space industry, with milestones such as static fire tests for upcoming launches.

IoT Potential: The adoption of 5G spectrum for satellite communication opens new avenues for integrating satellite connectivity into cars, industrial sensors, and more.
🎇ASTS Had a Year

A year ago we didn’t have Google and Verizon. AT&T wasn't an investor. We had no DA's. We had delayed Block 1 with real prospects the satellites were FUBAR'd (who knew). We had no FCC rules. We had no government deals. We weren't a prime contractor. We weren't selected by the Space Development Authority. We had no cash. We had no launch capacity confirmed beyond Block 1. Our ASIC was a question mark. Scott wasn't President.
