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.

Netflix stock price forecast: NFLX stuck near $90 as Warner vote backs deal and earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 14:35 EST — Regular session Netflix shares edged down 0.2% to $90.50 on Wednesday, after Warner Bros. Discovery’s board again urged shareholders to reject a rival bid from Paramount Skydance and stick with Netflix’s offer. Axios That matters now because the merger fight has become a daily driver of sentiment around Netflix’s near-term path, not just its streaming numbers. Warner said Paramount’s amended offer would amount to a leveraged buyout — an acquisition financed mostly with borrowed money — and flagged roughly $87 billion of pro forma gross debt in the structure.

S&P 500 2026 Forecast: 7,490 Target Meets a Data Test as Earnings Season Nears

NEW YORK, January 7, 2026, 06:01 EST — Premarket Strategists polled by Reuters see the S&P 500 at 7,490 by end-2026, implying gains of just over 9% from end-2025 as investors weigh Fed succession, election risk and the durability of the AI boom. A slim majority—56%—also forecast a market correction in the coming months. “The most under-appreciated tail risk for 2026 is that the Fed eases monetary policy more than economic conditions justify, inadvertently reigniting inflation,” said Lale Akoner, a global market strategist at eToro.
