AST SpaceMobile stock jumps as BlueBird 7 launch prep shifts to Florida

New York, January 5, 2026, 19:01 EST — After-hours AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) shares climbed 8.9% in the regular session on Monday and were little changed in after-hours trading, as attention stayed on the company’s next satellite launch milestones.

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.
