AST SpaceMobile remains a compelling buy, though I downgrade it to buy due to short-term manufacturing delays impacting satellite launch cadence. Q2 call highlighted multi-billion-dollar revenue potential across defense, B2B, IoT, and other segments, with the defense base case now raised to $3 billion annually. Fair value is $165 per share, reflecting a higher discount rate amid manufacturing uncertainty; the long-term target remains $315–$551 per share by 2030.
Space stocks have been on a wild ride this year. Many, if not all, rose by 50% to 100% at the peak, if not more, only to fall back to earth once the SpaceX NASDAQ: SPCX IPO was completed.
Pumpkin spice latte season is upon us, and perhaps no company is looking forward to turning the page on summer more than Midland, Texas-based AST SpaceMobile NASDAQ: ASTS.
