AST SpaceMobile ( (ASTS) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On February 20 and February 23, 2026, AST SpaceMobile repurchased about $46.5 million of its 4.25% convertible senior notes due 2032 and $250 million of its 2.375% convertible senior notes due 2032 in privately negotiated deals with certain noteholders. The company paid roughly $180.5 million in cash for the 4.25% notes and about $433.7 million for the 2.375% notes, including certain accrued interest adjustments.

The repurchases were funded using cash on hand and net proceeds from concurrent registered direct equity offerings that closed on the same dates, involving a total of 6,337,964 Class A common shares sold at $96.92 each. By exchanging a substantial portion of its convertible debt for equity financing, AST SpaceMobile has reduced its outstanding note obligations and altered its capital structure in a way that may lower future interest costs while increasing equity dilution for existing shareholders.

Spark’s Take on ASTS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ASTS is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance—large operating losses and intensifying cash burn despite strong revenue growth—plus a loss-driven valuation profile (negative P/E, no dividend). These negatives are partially offset by very strong technical momentum and a generally positive earnings-call outlook supported by major commercial commitments, liquidity, and deployment guidance, albeit with execution and cost risks.
