AST SpaceMobile $2.8 billion cash, $175 million prepayment from Saudi Arabia, zero profit. What the filing actually says.

AI Summary

Author reviews AST SpaceMobile's 10-K, highlighting $2.8B cash, $175M Saudi prepayment, 641% revenue growth, and a binary H2 2026 commercial launch catalyst against a 145x P/S valuation.

ASTS — LONG Author argues AST SpaceMobile's 10-K shows strong commercial validation: STC Saudi Telecom prepaid $175M before commercial service, and Vodafone and TELUS both signed agreements and bought equity, aligning customer incentives. FY2025 revenue of $70.9M (up 641%) with 68.7% gross margin and $2.8B cash removes near-term survival risk, while Q4 revenue ramped to $54.3M from $14.7M in Q3. The key catalyst is the H2 2026 commercial launch with AT&T and Verizon; missing that window would reprice the 145x price-to-sales valuation hard, with author's bear case at $8 and base case at $65 versus current $89.

H2 2026 commercial launch with AT&T and Verizon is the moment everything depends on. Miss that window and the valuation reprices hard.
