ASTS stock price forecast: Scotiabank downgrade hits AST SpaceMobile as targets split wide

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 14:43 EST — Regular session AST SpaceMobile shares slid about 11% on Wednesday after Scotiabank downgraded the satellite-to-smartphone company. The stock was down $10.77 at $86.72 in afternoon trade, after touching $95.25 earlier and a low of $85.37. The drop matters now because ASTS is priced like a timetable. Investors have been leaning on the idea that direct-to-device broadband — 4G and 5G links beamed from orbit to standard phones — moves from tests to paying users sooner rather than later, and without ugly surprises.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 17:25 ET Saudi Arabian Oil Co, better known as Saudi Aramco (2222.SE), enters 2026 after its shares fell 15.04% in 2025, the stock’s worst annual drop since its December 2019 IPO, amid weak oil markets and rising regional tensions. Saudi Arabia’s benchmark ended the year about 13% lower, and Milad Azar, a market analyst at XTB MENA, said the market may rebound in 2026 as monetary policy eases and interest rates decline, but “key risks could remain oil and global growth.” Reuters Saudi Arabia’s Tadawul All Share Index (TASI), the main benchmark, rose 0.6% on
