$ASTS: American Tower CEO Steve Vondran responded to a question about satellite's impact on their business (Q4 earnings call)
"When it comes to satellites, the reason that we made an investment in AST SpaceMobile was to get a board seat, so that we would have a front row seat to this technology as it unfolds. And we certainly continue to monitor that. We talked to the engineers in the space. We talked to the dreamers in the space and what they're trying to do. And that gives us a lot of confidence that satellites will be complementary to the terrestrial networks. 6G is likely to be designed with satellites being an integral part of an integrated network.
But the simple physics of spectrum, the simple economics of having a constellation that has to consistently be replenished over time means that towers will always be the cheapest and best way of deploying the level of content, the volume of mobile data that consumers demand. So while we think the satellite business is a great business, it's going to be a good complement to the networks. And we certainly are excited about the developments we're seeing in that area. We've seen no risk at all to the tower business over the long-term, because again, towers will always be a cheaper form of delivering a mass amount of data to the consumer. And the satellites just can't compete with that."
CFO Rod Smith of American Tower also chimes in:
"And most recently, and we announced it in the prepared remarks and in the press release, we sold half of our stake in AST Mobile. I remember it was just a modest investment. We really invested in it to stay close to the satellite business and to learn about that business going forward. There's no secret, the stock has done well, the company has done well. And we looked at it as a good opportunity to recycle some of that capital. So we sold half the stake, we used that to actually buy back shares in the last quarter. And we maintained a board seat on AST. So we still have the ability to continue to learn."
ASTS is currently trading at $85.
Lower than where it was when the Verizon DA was announced.
Lower than where it was when Golden Dome was announced.
Lower than where it was when SpaceX $1.5T IPO talk hit.
Lower than where it was when BlueBird 6 launched.
The stock ran to $130 pricing all of this in. Then the whole high beta space got crushed and it gave it all back.
BlueBird 6 is still deployed. It is still the largest commercial communications array ever built in LEO. Still delivering 120 Mbps to unmodified smartphones.
The Verizon deal is still signed. The Golden Dome contract is still real. 50+ carrier partnerships covering 3.2 billion subscribers are still intact. $1B raised to fully fund the constellation is still in the bank.
Every single catalyst that took this stock to $130 is still in place. The stock just forgot.
The market is pricing $ASTS like none of it happened.
Pulling back pre market. We have a 4hr demand zone in the green box, which has confluence with a backtest of the triangle. If this holds, we attack $100 next. $ASTS
$ASTS similar setup to the prior two breakouts. If we follow a similar path and make a measured move that puts it around $130-$160 before the end of the month. The key is breaking above and defending the $90/$92 area
*NFA
$ASTS - The feeling you get, when you suspect that AST have been involved in the two most high profile US military operations (Iran and Venezuela) in the last 6 months.
The countdown begins! BlueBird 6 is planned to launch on December 23, 2025 at 10:24 p.m. EST.
The mission marks the start of our next phase of execution, with a launch planned every 45 days on average during 2026, as we continue building space-based cellular broadband connectivity for all.

BlueBird 7 has left the factory and is headed to space! Next stop: Cape Canaveral, Florida🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Identical to BlueBird 6, BlueBird 7 will also be the largest commercial communications satellite ever launched into low Earth orbit. This marks another milestone as we continue executing our launch and production cadence—bringing us one step closer to connecting the unconnected globally with space-based cellular broadband.
Meanwhile, BlueBirds 8–25 are in various stages of assembly, integration, and testing at our Midland facility. We remain on track to launch 45–60 satellites by the end of 2026!

Miles hacen fila en Miami para poder ingresar al Bayfront Park y participar en la histórica protesta mundial convocada por María Corina Machado y Edmundo González.
María Corina Machado al ser consultada sobre Edmundo González, quien no participó en la concentración opositora: “Estamos todos tomando precauciones antes las amenazas brutales que hemos recibido del régimen que nos ha llamado terroristas y prófugos de la justicia”.
