AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (ASTS) saw its stock price plummet by a staggering 14.43% on September 12th, despite the company's announcement of launching its first five BlueBird commercial satellites into low Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The satellite launch, which was expected to be a positive development for the company, faced an unexpected backlash from investors. While the BlueBird satellites are planned to offer non-continuous cellular broadband services across the United States and select global markets, the market reacted negatively to the news.
Analysts speculate that the stock price decline could be attributed to several factors, including concerns about the project's financial viability, technical risks associated with the satellite deployment, and doubts about the commercial prospects and potential revenue generation from the satellite services. Additionally, some investors may have been disappointed or skeptical about AST SpaceMobile's ability to execute its plans effectively.
