"Investors are watching AST SpaceMobile ( NASDAQ:ASTS) ahead of its first-quarter results that are expected tonight, May 11, at 4:05 PM EST. With BlueBird 7 launched and commercial activation underway, this quarter sets the tone for 2026."
"Q4 2025 marked a turning point. Revenue hit $54.305 million, beating consensus by 28.56% and growing 2,731.3% year over year. It snapped a three-quarter miss streak driven by $36.218 million in gateway product sales and $18.087 million in U.S. Government services revenue."
"I'll be watching three things. First, the BlueBird 7 launch outcome. The satellite was encapsulated at Cape Canaveral in February 2026 for a March launch, and management's 45- to 60-satellite year-end target depends on achieving a 1-2-month cadence."
"Second, commercial activation timing. CEO Abel Avellan said, "In 2026, we expect to scale our space-based direct-to-device network from initial commercial activation toward the start of broader commercial service." Beta offerings are slated for summer 2026, with full commercial revenue in the second half of the year."
