Take a look at the IV on ASTS. It could drop 5% and you'd still lose money

BagHoldersOfAmerica

Like how I'm supposed to buy ASTS at $100+ now after people post 1000% gains?

DependentCheck992

I’ve read a lot about ASTS and their product but never watched any of their CEOs or founders, what would you recommend watching to learn more about the company?

ASTS, I am currently waiting and hoping it will drop back below 100 one last time.. I loaded up as much as I could in nov/dec but feel like I missed an opportunity to put everything i could into it.. i.am in way better of a position now than I was the last.time.it went up to $100, but I truly believe asts will be my ticket to retirement in the next couple of years 

ComfortablePiglet842

People lose a ton of money trying to time long term reversals. Screw that! If I’m gonna lose a ton of money being wrong I wanna lose in a big rush of endorphins trying to catch the tail end of a bullrun like MU SANDISK or ASTS, die off sadly and going out in the night quietly losing bad holding meta nflx tesla or apple

DependentCheck992

Why is their management incompetent? Sorry, unaware of their company. Would you consider buying more ASTS at current price?

AngronTheDestroyer

RKLB and ASTS are selling a vision of the future. No one gives a shit about their current earnings, but their earnings potential. MDA is fine as a safe long term space stocks, but don’t kid yourself. It doesn’t have anywhere near the % return as the other meme space stocks. If you’re looking for a space safe stock, that’s fine, but their earnings potential isn’t going to radically increase in the short or long term.

CleanMonty

I know. I keep saying it to myself. But selling RKLB at $30 and ASTS at $28.....the not FOMO but....ROMO? Regret on Missing Out is so real.

gosumage

Looks like ASTS calls

PokemonAnimar

Literally every time I do that, it comes out being the opposite color, so I'm already against it. At least with ASTS, I have the belief that my conviction means more than 50/50 because I've done so much background research on this company that I believe they will 100% achieve what they are going for.. i put that at 80%, so a lot higher than betting on red or black

Makes me happy about my ASTS shares getting called away on Friday. I can buy back in for cheap!

5365616E48

I don't know much abount Ondas. How would their tech differ from ASTS in terms of wireless communication? I see their description says "secure", but everything is "secure". Do they have their own encryption algo that is stronger than current used algos?

Get_dat_money

When ASTS and RKLB were $20 last year this time, I said... I should buy, but didn't. Now LUNR is at $20 and I'm thinking... I should buy everything I can.

Fun_Muscle9399

I had 200 shares of ASTS called away on Friday for a healthy profit. I’m kind of excited about having that cash to redeploy on Tuesday.

LDRispurehell

I’ve $1400 to invest this week, where should I park it. 2 weeks back invested similar amount in ASTS and PL and it did well.

vrtra_theory

The FCF/Price test seems like a strict one, considering a lot of popular small stocks right now actually have negative FCF - for example ONDS / RKLB / ASTS. (Am I using the right number or is there a special case for these tech stocks?)

Popular_Ant_6881

This post above is your best piece of advise. Your worry will not happen. However, with any stock there is always the risk of at crash. Make sure you're diversified. If you own ASTS, great job. Just realize it has large swings. Take some winnings now and then and diversify more.

amnonymous

My son earned $10 and asked me to buy some stock for him. Went on WSB and saw ASTS. Bought 2 shares for $5 each. 

JJdante

What do you think the next ASTS is? Less than $10 today that will 10-20x in two years.

SignificanceOk6360

This is my 1st time hearing of ASTS, I see they're responsible for US satellites, aside from 1 tume payments to get satellites into space, (I assume they do that) how do they make money? And if that is the only way they make money, how often. Are they putting satellites into space? I'm interested in investing, but, as someone with pretty beginner level knowledge regarding investing, I want to actually understand if I'm likely to see positive returns

Retropixl

Yeah what the hell is this, as if ASTS is a better choice. It’s still an extremely high risk stock 😂

MarsManMartian

Tariff will save me next week. Sold some ASTS and down so bad.

NikoZGB

I have been long ASTS since single digits and I am long POET via leaps that have already x7. I did not write my comment to dissuade anyone from jumping in. What I meant to communicate is that it's annoying reading low quality posts on POET subreddit commenting short term price movements and hyping up the stock with no new information provided. There used to be many more technical posts in that subreddit that convinced me it's worth a gamble, but lately it's mostly drivel and price speculation. Yeah, I know, not the best place complain about it.... The point is, if one believes in the technological, these type of short term movements are nearly meaningless.

yungjlee

Folks on the ASTS train believe it has a lot of room to grow so grabbing shares over time is something to be proud of!

oioiiii4

So will ASTS dip finally on Tuesday?

Diamondhands4dagainz

MU SNDK ASTS INTC RKLB all +5% on Monday. Tariffs won’t stop this euphoria

LairdNope

on the flipside, people said this about ASTS at $25 and I didn't buy it, they then said it about ASTS at $40 and I still didn't buy it.

Comfortable_Flow5156

ASTS will pull back 30% to 40% from the 52 wk high then surge again.

I_Dint_Know_A_Name

I don't doubt it, and ASTS has potential to be absolutely massive, but like you said, not right now.

TheFailologist

I ask myself this all the time and my answer is: 1. Completely new never before done technology and business model. 2. Technology proven to work, no launch problems. 3. Buy in from world's largest MNOs and governments. Global business model and TAM. 4. 1 billion+ in contracted revenue. 5. Huge and increasing institutional support - check on fintel.io 6. Valuation is made up - valuation cannot be accurate on something that has never been done before. 7. Price action >> valuation. Clearly market is assigning high stock price for ASTS.

DorianSoundscapes

It sounds more like he’s shit talking on a stock he didn’t buy and is butthurt people made money of it and is coping by saying it’s a meme stock and going to crash. I definitely think space is going through a speculation bubble and there are several space stocks that are kind of trash that pumped alongside ASTS and RKLB, but I think they will easily see more than 20% by EOY and honestly the volatility of them and the premiums you get make them really good for selling calls and swing trading.

DorianSoundscapes

Where did RKLB touch you little troll? Seriously, you clearly know nothing about the business and are pissed you didn’t make money. They’ll definitely come back down but this whole clown market is overdue for a correction so it’s not like you can’t say that about ever other stock in the S&P. We are late stage froth and I’ve trimmed positions a lot of positions, but ASTS and RKLB are two that I’m holding through the chop because they are 100% legit.

DorianSoundscapes

But people mentioned all of those, I almost bought NBIS calls at 30 but I didn’t know enough about the tech. RKLB and ASTS at least had a narrative and there are a lot of people that have been mentioning them for a long time. You can’t compare ASTS and RKLB to fake meat and open. Those are meme stocks, these are cool companies with innovative technology and real contracts. You actually have to kind of be retarded to not realize that in the next 100 years, space is going to be a major technology driver and exploration and space defense is going to be a huge area of capital allocation by the world’s major powers. Boomers. Anyway, they won’t live to see the cool shit we do in space. Fuck em. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

DorianSoundscapes

Stop trying to think and just be retarded like the rest of us. Don’t think long term, follow momentum and leverage the shit out of whatever you got. No but seriously if you listen to some of the autists on the RKLB and ASTS forums talk about the tech it is actually pretty cool and and this point the valuation is high because both companies are very close to accomplishing what they set out to do. All of space is pumping on the SpaceX IPO hype but if you look at heat the uber rich are all doing, it’s space. There’s nothing left on earth they haven’t bought or conquered, they want to explore and flex and develop sci-fi fantasy tech and do things that have never been done. You honestly sound like somebody shitting on Marco Polo like what could he possibly find out there in the ocean, there’s no value in sailing. There’s a shit ton of value in space, we’re gearing up for another arms race and the name of the game is space.

Boring-Nectarine8510

do you think it's too late to buy ASTS at 115 a share ?

Itchy_Edge_9711

Perfectly said. This my man is exactly what caused me to cut my position to 0 at $100. I do see this mooning over the next few years but the hive mind in here is too exhausting to keep up with. Its not good for my mental health to have such bipolar action. Look at RKLBs growth.... smooth and steady. No pump and dumps. CEO quenched speculation at earnings and said if neutron ain't ready he ain't sending it. No fake promises. No random (parasitic) dilution. Will it work out better long term?? Who knows. ASTS has great promise but the juice ain't always worth the squeeze (e.g., stress).

_JupitersCock_

Awesome, now tell everyone how much profit you’ve made on ASTS to date… i’ll wait…

YoLoMoneyman

Remember a few months back when ASTS hit close to $100? lots of euphoria but zero earnings. in a week it had fallen to $58. I was kicking myself for not selling at $95 then buying back low. The very same thing could happen (and probably will).

Odd_Onion_1591

Is anyone buying SIDU or RR? How does one get a conviction to drop 30k so early one? Same was with ASTS when it was 3-7$

AdSuch7462

But how did he know $ASTS was going to be this big??

AJDillonsThirdLeg

Damn bro that's crazy how you invested in ASTS in 2021 based on your then knowledge that in 2024 Google and Verizon would invest. Can you tell me what memestocks Google and Verizon are going to buy in 2029 so I can YOLO into them today?

AKNJ907

MU, SLV, and ASTS will rip on Tuesday. And you don’t have to be a retard to know that (but you are).

rabblerabbles

Yeah, because ASTS was busy making superior and more powerful satellites that can provide 5G coverage on everyday phones to enable text, calls, video calls, data and streaming. It's hilarious that you can tell who did any sort of research because Starlink's satellite and technology is fucking shit compared to what ASTS has.

blingblingmofo

If it’s that low you’d probably need like 50 million+ subscribers to justify ASTS’ valuation.

Vegetable-War-8539

🥭 going to name drop ASTS and talk about how we have the yugest, smartest, satellites.

happy123z

Every record high has been followed by another record high, thought, right? So it's just timing the (precious metals) market. Gold and Silver are so ancient and powerful in the psyche, tho. They were made powerful because of their beauty and that power has been harnessed and used (and abused) by the powerful since then. But silver's rapid rise in industrial necessity takes the historical uses (inflation hedge,, jewelry, photographic film, some industrial) and adds hugely valuable electric vehicle battery, solar panel and future tech uses that are worth more than shiny necklaces. Shit got real. The sane, forward thinking part of the world is headed toward solar power and electric vehicles which require silver. In ten years and twenty years we will need more. This is why China just locked it down. I'm going heavy in mining, refining, and physical. New to self directed investing here (Jan 1st!) But what a fascinating time to enter the market! ASTS AND PRESCIOUS METALS BABY! (also SOXL :)

phatelectribe

Do you understand that ASTS works with any handset to turn your phone in to what is effectively a dat phone? You won’t need to switch providers. With Starlink you have to get a whole new phone and plan. That’s why every MNO is signing up to ASTS. No need producer of hardware needed.

xshifthree

So, bear with me while I try to explain my situation as I’m new to all this and might use the wrong terminology interchangeably with something else. I bought some call options last year thinking that I finally understood enough to know what I was doing. Spoiler: I did not. But I got stupid lucky and it worked out in my favor. I currently own 33 contracts of LEAPS in $ASTS with strikes of $40, $50, $55 and $60. They expire in 12 months, January 2027. If I feel like there’s still a lot of upside to be captured prior to expiry, what’s my best play here? AI chatbots are saying not to let these leaps fall within 9 months of expiry due to iv crush and theta, but I’m not sure I understand the strategy. Sell for profit (200k) and reinvest into shares? Sell and buy higher strike leaps farther out? Wait til expiry and exercise? I also feel like the current timing is not the best; if I’m understanding correctly, it’s not in my favor to buy options right after a run up due to high IV?

phatelectribe

No, I wasn’t in the French Revolution either but can tell you quote a bit about what happened headed on available evidence? Why do you think that when ASTS got FCC approval for launch, Musk panic acquired a worse company that owned an inferior bandwidth for $17bn? ASTS have far larger sat arrays, the ideal band, and own several crucial patents which puts them years ahead of where Starlink is right now. And I say this as someone who owns shares in both ASTS and Spacex.

explorer_soul99

Here's what the execution data shows: **Revenue Scale & Growth (Q3'25):** - RKLB: $155M revenue, +48% YoY, 37% gross margin - ASTS: $14.7M revenue (first real quarter), 63% gross margin RKLB has 10x the revenue base with consistent 40-50% growth. ASTS just had its first meaningful revenue quarter. **Path to Profitability (Q3'25):** - RKLB: -$18M net loss (vs -$52M Q3'24): nearly broke even - ASTS: -$123M net loss (vs -$172M Q3'24): still burning heavily on satellite deployment **Cash Runway:** - RKLB: $808M cash, ~$70M quarterly burn = ~11 quarters runway - ASTS: $1.2B cash, ~$300M quarterly burn = ~4 quarters runway RKLB is closer to proving unit economics work. They're launching rockets, signing contracts, and nearly cash-flow positive. The question is whether Neutron scales their TAM. ASTS is still proving the technology works at scale. Huge revenue jump this quarter, but the capex-heavy satellite deployment phase isn't over. Higher variance outcome. Both have the cash to execute their near-term plans. The difference is where they are on the S-curve.

blingblingmofo

Have you personally tested ASTS’ network?

phatelectribe

The opposite. The days Starlink have in space already literally can’t do much apart from patchy data and text coverage. It’s useless for voice and data is slow and unreliable AND your phone needs proprietary hardware just to above that. That’s stats they currently have are effectively worthless and it’s going to take Starlink at least two years to get a comparable sat in orbit, which ASTS already have, and by then, when Starlink launch their first, ASTS will have full coverage for N America.

Purpletorque

I am a long term ASZtS investor and sold a lot of stuff to buy this at $50 and RKLB at $40 recently. Already back in cash waiting to do it again. But I maintain my same long term position in ASTS.

averi_fox

Lmao it didn't go up after launch because the whole market was in shambles. Market stabilized and ASTS predictably shot up.

ilchymis

Isn't the market closed monday? I fully expect ASTS to drop 15 points after the panic buying cools off.

MeNameAJeff_

You are exactly right. But I’ve been investing since Oct 2021. The first time I’ve been profitable was Sept 2025. I’m addicted now because I’m up $17k since Sept. and I’m having some really good performing stocks $ASTS, $NLY, $EXAS, $VT.  Idk what to do. A house isn’t a good investment but it’s what I’ve always wanted to achieve. But I also want more money and financial security. (And a slightly better house than I can afford right now).  That’s the pickle I’m in. :(

blooisthecolor

Its okay to have faith in a company, i’m up 271% on my ASTS

Barbie_and_KenM

Got my ASTS, RKLB, COIN, and others called away at rock bottom prices compared to today. The few hundred or thousand bucks I made was not worth it compared to what I would have now just holding. Don't sell CCs on high growth or meme stocks. You can on low volatility ones but the premium is barely worth it.

negronium_ions

I mean starlink currently has *some* service, ASTS doesn't. In all other senses they're behind but yeat

preshr

I bought ASTS on Jun 17, 2024 for 11.64 a share and sold on July 29 for 18.54 a share. Was happy to take those profits :( shoulda just held.

Overall_Option_8883

Not sure I want to see how the sector does, I'm also long ASTS and RKLB. Definitely would with 20 percent pull back in the short term 

Top_Category_2526

yeah nothing against RKLB...but you have companies like OKLO, ASTS, IONQ....ETC pure scum

Crackbreaker

This sub or the ASTS sub?

sketchytomtom

It’s genuinely refreshing to see this rational a view for ASTS

PetrovskyKSC

Market priced in potential golden dome defense contracts which ASTS is now in the mix for

Smile-Nod

You're thinking of ASTS. RKLB will get close to a billion in revenue this year.

Paul_Robert_

JPM because he'll probably taco on that threat, and/or the CEO will capitulate/donate some money to him. RDDT solely because every time it dips because of tariff news, it recovers. ASTS because the core thesis hasn't changed

Hacking_the_Gibson

The point is that there is a small slice of people that actually need satellite service. Those are the people who pay for it currently. Iridium has 2.5M subscribers right now. Let’s say for the sake of argument that 2.5M represents 5% of the total number of people who would opt in at some level if there were no barriers to entry. That’s 50M, and let’s further assume that ASTS can capture all 50M of those prospects and convert them to $10/month average revenue per user. That’s $6B of annual revenue. A great business for sure, but if you give them an 8x multiple on that projection, it yields a market cap of $48B, which they hit as of Friday. Honestly, the best comp might be figuring out the take rates on airplane WiFi? Disconnecting for a couple of hours is nice. That would approximate how many people just can’t live without being always online.

Big_Up_Saint_Croix

Nah. OP did what I did, relied on huge amount of informative research generated by the amazing SpaceMob, which confirmed ASTS would succeed, and he, like me, made an educated and informed decision, backed by investment from Google, Verizon, etc. That’s how I accumulated 100,000 shares and still holding. It was not like playing the lotto.

igiverealygoodadvice

\> FCC approval is imminent, Brendan Carr is on our side. Stop trying to correct me on things I got right. Uhh no, it's not imminent. Not saying it wont happen, but there are a number of people filing against it and they still need to prove it will not cause interference with GPS and other users. Of course this is less likely to be an issue from what killed Ligado, but still needs to happen. \>Not at all. In 2 years Starlink might very well still not be launching V3 satellites So you are saying that BB3 and AST will obviously execute on time and be ready to go in 2 years, but somehow you doubt SpaceX who are by far the most dominant and fastest operator in the space sector... \> By then they may have already lost the NTN war and their MNOs simply by not being an existing and appropiate alternative vs ASTS' service, while ASTS will have already completed 50% if not more of their constellation, providing as you mentioned, way better service overall than lousy SMS that don't get sent because of a couple of clouds. Now THIS blows me away haha Starlink literally has a service TODAY that offers SMS, MMS and data services. They are serving actual customers today and AST is a year away from that. But you are saying that Starlink may have lost the war in 2 years time?? That makes no sense to me. You AST bulls keep repeating the "Starlink cant even do text" when that isn't true ([read this](https://www.pcmag.com/news/i-tested-video-chats-on-t-mobiles-cellular-starlink-and-it-was-pretty-mind)). You really need to do your research on the competition and not just listen to what you want to hear from the AST mob. \> On a bit of tangent, how many people will stay with Starlink's service when ASTS starts operations? It'd be like keeping a Nokia when the first iPhone was launched... Why do you say that? At the end of this year, AST will be using MNO spectrum only (no L-band) and they only have 5-10 Mhz of spectrum for that. So they will be offering the SAME as Starlink by the end of this year. You are envisioning AST providing broadband speeds to every device, which isn't possibly happening for at least 2 years, to Starlink TODAY. Don't you see how incorrect that is?

Big_Up_Saint_Croix

I began accumulating ASTS in early 2021, grabbed shares below $3 when I tanked, never sold and still holding 100,00 shares

shivaswrath

What does ASTS do exactly?

dutch1664

ASTS being the top mentioned stock here is what got me into it at $20

ToSeeAgainAgainAgain

Yea, they bought the spectrum's rights, AKA leased it. It is for usage in Canada and the USA, yes, like I mentioned. FCC approval is imminent, Brendan Carr is on our side. Stop trying to correct me on things I got right. > Oh and they need new chips in phones to use it AND block 3 satellites, so it won't be useful for at least 2 years. New chips by next year, Apple and Google are both looking to get them on asap. B3 will take its time, yes, but in 2 years ASTS' manufacturing chain will already be running full steam at most likely more than double the speed it is these days, so no worries there. > This puts them essentially on the same playing field as Starlink who are doing something similar with S Band spectrum. Not at all. In 2 years Starlink might very well still not be launching V3 satellites and only if they have already fixed Starship issues. By then they may have already lost the NTN war simply by not being an existing alternative, while ASTS will have already completed 50% if not more of their constellation, providing as you mentioned, way better service overall than lousy SMS that don't get sent because of a couple of clouds... > I have done a LOT of DD, it's really ironic how AST bulls hear what I'm saying and automatically assume I haven't done research because I'm not bullish. Agree to disagree then, only time and the market will tell who was right here today, my money is on ASTS

peter_lynch_jr

I've not looked at ASTS but RKLB is currently trading at 50x sales, yeah I get it's got big growth potential ahead of it but they need to be heading towards the $20+ billion in revenue to justify current valuations (space companies typically trade at 1-2x sales) so that's years of double digit growth.

sharkykid

The original post posed ASTS as tech to bring porn to the most desolate of lands Why wouldn't you full port and hold?

TickTockTaudit

So many screenshots of ASTS gains. Positions not closed. Careful boys, we know where this road leads.

ambassador321

If only he put it into ASTS after that original DD.

Shdwrptr

That’s a good point but it also is a massive moat. SpaceX and ASTS have locked in most of the worlds’ MNOs so how are other players going to get in without harming themselves with insane sweetheart deals?

quuxquxbazbarfoo

Other players can use MNO's spectrum, which is mostly what ASTS is already going to be doing. ASTS doesn't need to own any spectrum, but it's nice that they do.
