AST SpaceMobile shares slid after Blue Origin unveiled its TeraWave satellite initiative, prompting investors to reassess the competitive landscape in space-based connectivity, even though analysts stressed that TeraWave does not directly challenge AST’s mobile network operator–focused, direct-to-device model. The stock reaction came alongside fresh operational news: AST confirmed a late-February launch for its BlueBird 7 satellite, giving the market more clarity on the company’s execution timeline. In response to these developments, analysts tweaked their price targets, citing higher valuation multiples, the evolving competitive backdrop, and AST’s continued progress on its launch schedule and operational milestones.
