AST SpaceMobile Nears Commercial Launch: Is It Time To Buy The Dip?
AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) is nearing the commercial launch of its satellite-based cellular broadband service, now delayed to early 2027. Unlike SpaceX's Starlink, which developed direct-to-consumer technology, AST SpaceMobile partners with cellphone companies like AT&T and Verizon, giving it a built-in customer base. In Q1 2026, the company generated $15 million in revenue, mostly from U.S. government contracts. It projects up to $1 billion in revenue in 2027 after commercial launch. The stock has fallen nearly 60% from its highs, presenting a potential buying opportunity for aggressive investors. However, the company is still pre-revenue from commercial operations and must successfully build and launch more satellites. The article advises most investors to wait for proof of execution, while risk-tolerant investors may see the dip as an entry point.
