If The Market Crashes, This Is The 1 Space Stock I Can't Wait To Buy
The article, published on July 22, 2026, by The Motley Fool's Leo Sun, argues that AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) is a compelling buy during a potential market crash. The author notes the S&P 500 trading at high multiples, possible interest rate hikes, and geopolitical tensions as precursors to a crash. AST SpaceMobile produces low Earth orbit satellites for telecom giants like AT&T and Verizon, differentiating itself from SpaceX's Starlink by focusing on extending terrestrial networks to rural areas. The article highlights AST's larger satellites, ground-based data processing (enabling easier upgrades to 6G), and a clearer path to profitability. Analysts project revenue growth from $71 million in 2025 to $1.87 billion by 2028, with positive adjusted EBITDA expected in 2027. Despite a current enterprise value of $20.7 billion, the author suggests a market crash could halve valuations, creating a buying opportunity for patient investors.
