AST SpaceMobile Inc. (ASTS) is facing a sharp decline in share price, falling over 8% following the BlueBird 7 satellite's failure to reach its intended orbit aboard Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket. While the company anticipates that insurance will cover the financial loss from the incident, this setback has delayed its satellite deployment timeline and raised concerns over execution risks. Analysts now worry that ASTS may not meet its target of having approximately 45 satellites in orbit by the end of 2026, potentially dampening investor confidence in the near term.
“$ASTS 83 After Hours 🚀 While Day Trade was beautiful but my Swing & Long term traders should be happy in morning : our position moving nicely! I tweeted the curls for you guys in morning as well!!”
“B/c launch cadence might slow if Blue Origin is grounded for a long period of time. I do think though, $ASTS can just book more SpaceX launches.”
“$ASTS - Judging from yesterday’s doom and gloom with short term paper handers predicting a 30-40% one day tumble. A crash of epic proportions… A truly tremendous drop… They could only muster a less than 5% drop. 🤣 Thanks for your cheap shares. I know the long-term potential!”
“$ASTS and $ONDS stand out for the highest % gain potential. They're smaller-cap disruptors (space-based cellular for ASTS...) with massive scalability upside if execution hits in 2026—recent investor chatter and growth forecasts highlight exponential moves possible vs. mega-caps.”
“The FAA has ordered a mishap investigation into Blue Origin’s New Glenn 3 upper-stage failure after $ASTS BlueBird 7 was not placed into the intended orbit.”
“$ASTS Daily Price just tapped and respected the 200 DMA a key level that has acted as major support throughout this trend.”
“Upper channel resistance is approaching $128-130. If momentum returns, that's the next target.”
“As long as the 200 DMA holds, the bull case stays intact.”
“We reiterate our Buy rating and lower our price target to $115 (from $137), reflecting an ~6-month delay in commercialization due to launch slippage.”
“We view this as a setback to ASTS’s 4Q25 deployment timeline, which relies on New Glenn’s high capacity launch capability.”
“We now expect launch issues to slow near term cadence, pushing this target back by ~6 months.”
“$ASTS PT $117 by Deutsche”
