On September 1, AST SpaceMobile, Inc. fell 5.01% in regular trading, trading at $56.15 per share with turnover of $129 million. The stock extended its recent pullback as multiple headwinds continued to pressure the share price.
On the news front, market reports previously indicated that both SpaceX and AST SpaceMobile had expressed interest in acquiring space-based wireless spectrum assets worth approximately $6 billion held by Grain Management, with bids solicited by early September. However, Elon Musk subsequently denied SpaceX's involvement in the deal, casting significant uncertainty over the acquisition's prospects.
Adding to the pressure, the company's Q2 earnings disappointed, with an adjusted loss of $0.35 per share missing the consensus estimate of $0.28, while revenue of $31.52 million also fell short of the $34.98 million expected. Bank of America subsequently lowered its price target from $95 to $80, further dampening market sentiment. The stock's full-year revenue guidance remains at $150-200 million. These compounding factors have driven the continued post-earnings retreat.
