Zacks downgrades ASTS to Strong Sell, cites lower earnings estimates
Zacks downgrades ASTS to Strong Sell, cites lower earnings estimates
Zacks Investment Research lowered their earnings estimates for AST SpaceMobile over the last 90 days. They now expect larger losses of $1.07 per share in 2025 and $0.90 in 2026. The revision is mostly due to high capital costs, inflation affecting satellite materials, and the need to spend heavily to get 45-60 satellites up by 2026.
The report also points out stiff competition from Starlink and Globalstar. Because of the high burn rate and integration risks, Zacks currently has a Strong Sell rating on the stock.
It wasn't all bad news though. The company finished unfolding BlueBird 6, their first next-gen satellite which has 10x the data capacity of previous models. BlueBird 7 is scheduled for a late February launch. Despite the negative report, the stock is still up nearly 250% over the past year.

Wall Street hitting pause on . Dope tech, but the burn rate’s wild. Market wants proof, not promises.
