AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) Stock: BlueBird 6 Milestone Fuels Big Swings—What Investors Should Watch Before Monday’s Open
AST SpaceMobile shares fell 7.8% to $71.95 Friday on heavy volume, despite major U.S. indexes ending flat in a quiet post-holiday session. The drop followed the December 23 launch of BlueBird 6, the company’s first next-generation satellite for direct-to-smartphone connectivity. AST plans to launch up to 60 satellites by late 2026.
