  • AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) Jumps 31% After Rocket Lab's $8 Billion Iridium Deal
    July 5, 2026, 11:01 AM EDT. AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) jumped 31.2% this week, easily beating the S&P 500's 1.8% gain. The move came as Rocket Lab announced plans to buy Iridium Communications for $8 billion, half in cash and half in stock. Iridium's satellite business and spectrum are seen as important for Rocket Lab's growth. The buyout is seen as a bullish signal for AST, which some investors consider to have stronger satellite tech than Iridium. The $8 billion price tag is a 24% premium and helped send AST shares higher. Still, analysts including those at Motley Fool have left AST off their top picks, pointing to heavy volatility in space stocks.
