AST SpaceMobile shares rose 4.3% to $74.68 in after-hours trading Tuesday after a regulatory filing showed director Keith R. Larson bought 625 shares at $80 each under a pre-set plan. Nasdaq reported heavy options activity, led by $80 strike calls expiring Jan. 2. The company last week launched its BlueBird 6 satellite, aiming to deliver 4G and 5G directly to standard smartphones.
