ASTS

Paul_Robert_

My condolences to whoever bought those $100 4/10 ASTS calls from me 😅

Fuzzy_Louise_2405

I understand now, thanks. Are you bullish on ASTS? Current market cap is more than 30Bill and cell phone companies are close too 200Bill (an 6x from here) but they have to come up with a lot of customers to get to that point. Is the Moat really that big to buy at current prices? (Revenue of ASTS is 70m (ttm) and Vz for example is making 139bill (ttm). That is big difference)

I trade on high beta names and today had an interesting experience that goes to show the difference in IV from one stock to another. I had sold CCs on all of my inventory of stocks last week near the money because the market wasn’t doing well. With my option harvesting system, getting assign is fine. So I sold tight, then TACO Tuesday happened yet again. On Wed, most of my stocks jumped 10%. The experience was just how different they were when it came to rolling them. The stocks were HUT, AAOI, and ASTS. In each case I was about 10+% ITM. I’ve found that sometimes when IV is elevated, that you can roll out a week and grasp up on the strike price for a little premium. For HUT, rolling from 4/10 to 4/17, the premium was literally dollar for dollar. To move the strike up $5 cost &5 and change. AAOI had gapped from my $103 CC, to $127. I managed to roll up $10 for less than $0.20/dollar. At $114 the average cost jumped substantially so I settled on essentially, gaining $8 on a potential assignment, which worked out on a 400% gain on the $2 investment. The winner was with ASTS. I had sold $87 CCs last Friday, and today with it over $95, I rolled up three strike $7 to a dollar shy of the ATM for next Friday at a cost $0.10/dollar. Most of the literature on options on covered calls say that doing so, locks you out of any gap ups. What I’ve learned over the past six months of serious option trading is that doesn’t always hold true, especially on high beta names. Ironically I’ve been burned more on lower beta stocks. I had a 20% gap down on BE, and within a few trades I was back on the positive side rolling the option around. Being dynamic and reacting when the IV spikes has been a key to success.

Why? Trying to understand more space stocks. What are the differences between ASTS, Amzn space and SpaceX?

tomgreen99200

ASTS is for cellphones / direct to device. Amazon LEO and Starlink for home broadband and requires an antenna.

tomgreen99200

They sure do but this product doesn’t compete with ASTS

BiggieMoe01

RKLB and ASTS definitely going parabolic.

I'd say it's 30% being smart enough to see the way the world is headed, 20% being zin or emotionally numb, and 50% luck. At least for me, smarter people can probably lower the amount of luck required. I turned $20k into $400k with SPACs and GME. This wasn't predicting the future, this was 100% luck. I then put $100k into blackberry (they were going to be the cybersecurity of the EV world!!!!), $100k into a biotech that I'm too embarrassed to name, $100k into shit I literally don't remember, and $100k into ASTS. BB did nothing. The biotech crashed 70%, but I still loved it for some reason, sold half my ASTS to buy more. Like I said, I don't even remember the last $100k of stuff, so those were clearly failures. The biotech crashed another 50%. ASTS fell from the $20s down to the $2s. My $400k was almost back to the $20k I started with. For better or worse, I am stubborn, and held that ASTS until it turned back around. There are a dozen points in this story where you could say I fucked up. Some would say it started when I gambled with SPACs/GME. Or when I found myself with $400k, why didn't I immediately put it all in the SP500? Or better yet, put it all in ASTS? There is probably an alternate reality where ASTS failed, and I ended up with nothing. Or maybe there is a reality where my biotech succeeded and I retired at 32 years old. Or if I wanted to go back further through my life's missteps - I also used thousands of bitcoins to buy drugs when I was younger. And held 4.2 million dogecoin at one point when it first came out. The conclusion I arrived at is that looking back for "what could have been" doesn't usually do you many favors. Look forward and try to find those good stocks - but do not assume you have all the information to accurately predict what is a very complicated future. You could go all-in on a good company and end up with nothing. Meanwhile some people go all-in on bad companies and walk away filthy rich! Life is chaotic. Some people are crazy intelligent, some are crazy lucky, a select few are both. But the only way to know for sure who is under what category is hindsight, and that doesn't guarantee the same results in the future.

I'm gonna preface this with no, you probably shouldn't do this, but I 'buy the dip' through a hybrid strategy of DCA and taking advantage of timing when it presents itself. I'm always opening positions in companies that I'm confident in, so that means I'm usually buying stuff at lower prices than my entry price just by nature. So let's say I got MSFT at $360, Goog at $300, and Main at $55. Well let's say I log into my Roth today and Main has moved up to $57 and Google is down to $295. I'm gonna sell some of that Main and go put it in Google by selling a stock lot I have at $55 or below to buy Google at $295. If Google then goes to $305 in a few days, sell the stock lot at $300, keep the $295 for later, and then we'll put that money in MSFT who has moved down from $360 to $340. Rinse, repeat repeat repeat repeat. I've been at this since 2024 and it's got me at +4.76% on the month, +44.32% YTD, and +108.87% in the last 12 months. I understand I'm gonna get hate and told I'll fail at some point, but alas, my autism tells me I've found a strategy that works and I've even taken a few -40%ish hits with companies like ASTS and Reddit, but I softened those blows over time by rotating them over and over through their volatility.

Can I talk to you about ASTS?...

BobWileey

Isn't starlink MC estimated at $15B? And they need like 5000 satellites to maintain their network...not sure what their margins are but I don't think they're printing money. ASTS tech \*sounds\* far superior if they ever launch satellites, plus they have MNO partners for a seamless experience, whereas Elon wants to compete against MNOs which probably means the Starlink TAM probably never gets that big with customers having to buy a dish/ subscribe to a fully different service...

BiggieMoe01

Currently hoarding as much ASTS while it’s < $100. I have a feeling that $200 EOY is very realistic.

I moved into defensive positions last year after liberation day. I won't make as much money as I was under Biden being full aggressive, but screw all this shit lol. Just buying reliable dividend kings in essential goods/services/staples and similar. I'll make money selling ASTS every time it hits a hundred and buying back in when it inevitably dumps back into the 70s/80s to compensate, I guess.

Any ASTS holders here? How high do you think it can go today?

Carbastan24

Nothing wrong with taking profits, my point was you made your decision back then thinking that the risk of ASTS not executing outweighs the risk of missing further price action. Don't think of it as a wrong decision but as a decision that best suits your risk profile. Hindsight is 20/20.

> ASTS will compete in a lot of those areas and doesn’t have the same satellite burn rate. do you have a link for this? a quick google shows me the Bluebird 6 flies at a similar altitude to starlink and has a ~2x lifetime. Couldn't find cost though. I'm not entirely sure if the burn rate being lower saves them a lot of money or if theyre about even with SpaceX

UOfasho

ASTS will compete in a lot of those areas and doesn’t have the same satellite burn rate. I think OP isn’t just saying that the market for Starlink is overstated, but also that their burn rate limits the efficacy of an early mover advantage. I do agree with that to an extent. There is a clear effort happening to monetize space, and I think we’ll see increased competition in all space commerce vectors. Starlink having a high burn rate may make it easier to pivot though, and the sheer number of their satellites also makes them a more stable network for military use due to the sheer number of munitions needed to take it down.

Paul_Robert_

Used this as an opportunity to close my ASTS covered calls for a profit. Hopefully it goes back to $100+

Virtual_Seaweed7130

When the fuck is ASTS going to dump? They still don’t have the bluebird 7 up and we’re almost mid-april. They kept their 45-60 satellite forecast but have put one satellite up in 4 months. When tf does the bubble pop?

It-s_Not_Important

Yes and ASTS is going to eat Elon’s lunch with equipment-free hookups.

It-s_Not_Important

ASTS and Amazon are both working to deliver 5g satellite service that requires no fixed location satellite dish like Starlink does.

asdafari14

Depends how quickly they 5x current earnings. If in five years, then the IPO price isn't too bad. If you don't believe that is realistic, then the price is bad. I think it can happen and would like exposure to the industry so it is a safer buy than the alternatives in RKLB and ASTS (which I also hold now).

ImpossibleOrb

Bro I used to work on autopilot systems and I can assure you this company is the real deal. Airplanes are easier to fly than cars from AI perspective (which is why the industry has been doing it even before AI) and this company is doing military stuff as well. In my opinion they will be the next ASTS but you might need to diamond hand through market volatility like us ASTS owners had to do. Feel free to try to short or FUD it but it is not really a pre revenue shitco either, the revenue will come pretty steadily for this one, as explained pretty clearly in the Crossroads report on them. If you have money to park away for multiple years and forget about there are worse things you could do with it

Lavio00

Not sure why people are laughing at a 1.5m revenue figure when ASTS has a 27bn mcap with 70m in revenues (didnt find any forward guidance for them)… about 380x sales multiple, or about 3x as high valution on sales compared to Virgin Galactic… If we’re going to look at revenues, let’s compare the rest in the space (no pun intended).   LUNR are expecting ebitda positive this year and 1bn revenues. With a 3bn mcap that’s a very low sales-multiple of approx 3x.  As for RKLB, they’re growing 40% and will likely be earnings negative throughout the year. They’re guiding 200m revenues for Q1-26E, which gives us a run rate usd 800m topline for FY26E… Compared to mcap, that’s a sales multiple of just under 50x.  I dont look how net debt looks in any of these, but a quick back of the envelope shows RKLB and LUNR as the clearly most interesting plays on valuation, with SPCE on third and ASTS waaaay in the back on fourth place. Not sure why people are saying ASTS is the obvious play in the sector…?

No. if anything, it would effect ASTS but honestly ASTS just needs to get its birds in the air and prove its concept.
