Despite no recent significant updates from AST SpaceMobile (ASTS), their stock experienced substantial growth in this week’s trading, even outperforming the 0.6% increase of the S&P 500 index, with the company’s share price climbing a notable 27.2%.
Last week, there was a significant increase in AST’s valuation following the announcement of significant financing news by the company. Additionally, the company’s shares have been positively impacted by the optimistic sentiment in the broader space sector, causing them to rise by approximately 175% over the course of trading this year.
AST stock surged on $550 million financing to support big spectrum deal
Last Sunday, AST disclosed that one of its affiliates had obtained $550 million in investments for a contract with Ligado Networks to lease wireless spectrum. This agreement will provide AST SpaceMobile with rights to 40 MHz of L-Band Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) spectrum in the U.S. and Canada for over 80 years. Furthermore, it could potentially grant them access to an extra 5 MHz of category spectrum in the American market. The positive reaction from investors, who view AST’s financial decisions as beneficial for this deal, has led to a rise in the company’s stock price on every trading day last week.
What’s next for AST SpaceMobile?
Following its recent successes, AST SpaceMobile currently holds an estimated market capitalization of around $14.4 billion. This places the company at approximately 37 times this year’s projected revenue and a staggering 234 times anticipated earnings. Despite having a valuation that heavily relies on growth, it seems to be entering an exciting new phase of significant expansion.
The cellular broadband network built by the company using satellites is remarkable because it works seamlessly with existing mobile devices without requiring additional accessories or adjustments. This could potentially cause a significant shake-up in the consumer telecommunications sector. Beyond the consumer field, investors are intrigued by the company’s prospect of securing contracts with U.S. defense agencies and associated contractors.
