We recently published 10 Stocks on Euphoria. Are You Holding Any? AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) is one of the best-performing stocks on Tuesday.
AST SpaceMobile snapped a four-day losing streak on Tuesday, jumping 8.36 percent after trading as much as 20.86 percent intra-day, as investor sentiment was bolstered by its plans to launch 60 satellites next year.
“We are confirming our fully-funded plan to deploy 45 to 60 satellites into orbit by 2026 to support continuous service in the US, Europe, Japan, and other strategic markets, including the US Government,” said AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) Chairman and CEO Abel Avellan in a statement.
“We also have planned orbital launches every one to two months on average during 2025 and 2026,” he added.
Additionally, AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) is planning to deploy nationwide intermittent service in the US by the end of the year, followed by the UK, Japan, and Canada in the first quarter next year. This, alone, is expected to rake in revenues between $50 million and $75 million from government and commercial customers in the second half of the year.
In the second quarter, AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) widened its net loss attributable to shareholders by 37 percent to $99.4 million from $72.5 million in the same period last year, despite revenues growing by 28 percent to $1.156 billion from $900 million year-on-year.
