AST SpaceMobile stock rises as BlueBird 7 reaches Florida, keeping ASTS launch timeline in focus

New York, January 5, 2026, 10:02 a.m. ET — Regular session AST SpaceMobile, Inc. shares rose in morning trade on Monday, with investors digesting fresh signs the satellite maker is pushing its next launch along. The stock was up 1.1% at $84.43, after trading between $81.22 and $85.63; it closed at $83.47 on Friday. The move matters because AST’s valuation hinges on how quickly it can put enough large satellites into orbit to offer “direct-to-cell” service — meaning a satellite link that works with standard phones, without a dedicated satellite handset. That deployment tempo is the near-term scorecard for traders.

NEW YORK, January 5, 2026, 09:30 EST Comcast (CMCSA) said on Monday it completed the spinoff of its NBCUniversal cable networks into Versant Media Group, distributing shares of the new company to existing investors.

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 07:39 ET — Premarket Shares of MARA Holdings Inc (MARA) were up 5.1% at $10.42 in premarket trading on Monday, after a report that the bitcoin miner moved coins to crypto market maker Wintermute. (Google Finance) The move matters because MARA’s stock often acts like a leveraged bet on bitcoin, with investors quick to react to signals about liquidity and coin sales. In plain terms, miners can swing more than the token because their revenue and balance sheets are tightly tied to the bitcoin price. Bitcoin was up about 1.9% at roughly $92,852, setting the
