AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) stock sinks 12% after Scotiabank downgrade calls valuation ‘irrational’
AST SpaceMobile shares dropped 12.1% to $85.73 after Scotiabank downgraded the stock to sector underperform and set a $45.60 target, citing high valuation and the need to build out its satellite network. The stock had surged 324% over the past year. AST aims to launch 45–60 satellites by end-2026 but has no retail customers yet. Investors await updates on launch schedules and the next earnings report.
