AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) is trying to build a space-based cellular broadband network. I’ve seen stocks rise before, but ASTS? That’s not just a gain, it’s a midlife crisis in chart form-up 1,100% over three years. Impressive, if you’re into that whole “burning rocket fuel” aesthetic.
But here’s the kicker: ASTS isn’t done yet. If the company can pull off its vision, it’s not a rocket ship-we’re looking at a lottery ticket with delusions of grandeur. And who doesn’t love a good underdog story? (Spoiler: My therapist says I do.)
AST SpaceMobile could revolutionize global connectivity
Let’s get real. Your phone is basically a third arm, right? But it’s useless without a signal. ASTS wants to fix that. They’re building the first satellite-to-smartphone network that’ll provide 4G and 5G “on land, at sea, and in flight.” No modifications needed. Imagine that: 5G on a yacht. Luxury problems, solved from space.
Their satellites mimic cell towers. By 2026, they’ll have 45 to 60 of these things orbiting Earth. Partnerships with Vodafone and Verizon? Check. Not bad for a company that’s essentially selling Wi-Fi from orbit. (I’d pay extra for that-my home internet is currently a pigeon with a USB stick.)
Cash? They’ve got $1.5 billion. That’s more than I’ve got in my retirement account (which, let’s be honest, is just a fantasy at this point). Revenue projections? $255 million by 2026. Analysts are giddy. I’m cautiously optimistic. Which, for me, means I’ll believe it when I see it-and even then, I’ll check the fine print.
The market’s massive. We’re talking 5 billion potential users. Of course, capturing all of that is about as likely as me sticking to a single glass of wine at dinner. But even a slice of that pie? That’s a whole damn bakery. If ASTS pulls it off, they’ll revolutionize communications-and my portfolio might actually survive my life choices. 🚀
